💯 agree
@@rickellsmore8731 I don't watch it either anymore.
Rick Barry nailed it😂😂😂
You didn't even talk about the comments of the European talent in the NBA saying that scoring in the NBA is much easier than the European league. I think Luka Doncic said that.
luka, giannis, nikola, but basucally all say that
it makes luka even more special xd
It's not necessarily toughness as such. You have to work for your points in Europe. You had to hustle to score in the NBA in the 1990s. Rodman won games on defense alone. Or earlier. Wilt was better than Russell. Russell and the Celtics won all those championships because of game plan. The thing is, nobody can stop a player like Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, etc. one on one. You have to use smarts. Like the Bulls and Rodman against Shaq.
90's NBA was the best! No questions asked!
Why, because that's when you grew up with it? Everyone is entitlex to their opinion anbd none of them were wrong. I''ve been watching the NBA since 1966 and I'd take the 80s over the 90s any day. The 90s were almost exclusively about Jordan and the Bulls. The 80s had greart Lakers, Celtics and Pistons dybnasies teams and some other very competitive, fun to watch teams. Just my opinon.
2000s to early 2010s was the best in my opinion, balance between physicality and defense
2000-2014 was goated
Although I wouldn't bash the 80s and 90s like other GEN Z's
5 WHITEMEN ON THE COURT, ..GTFOH. STOCKTON HORNECK BACKCOURT 😂. YALL MAD BECAUSE WHITEMEN CANT PLAY TODAY ... CC THE WHITEMAN BEST BB PLAYER
90s, 00s
@@MarkMay-cr6bv I agree about the 80s. How's this? Magic, Bird, Jordan, Dr. J, Moses, Dominique, Hakeem, Isiah, Gervin.....
Great video YounGala. I'm 53 y.o., so my opinion is 100% on the side of these legends.
100% agree with everything the legends said. Adam Silver has made the game soft and these new all-stars crapping on the older generation is just downright despicable.
Edwards is a spoiled overrated player, he does not play teambasketbal but only playing for himself. Moreover he is not a skilled player himself, yes he can jump and he is athletic but his dribbling, shooting and driving is not very special. He only thinks he is a special player because everybody tells him and he is gonna believe that nonsense.
@@robertpeters-kb4xsCorrect
Kobe had no skills? Bird had no skills? Magic? Kareem? Worthy? Miller? Barkley,? Duncan? Wilt? Jerry West? Shaq? Oscar Robertson? Elgin? Russell? Pippen? Steph? Iverson? Stockton? Malone? Dominique? Olajuwon? Etc…etc…etc…No skills? What a nutcase.
Agreed ...a complete moron.
So Isiah had no skills then?

@@AnteNDH1 Nope. Isiah Thomas Isn’t even Top 15. I’d argue he’s not even Top 20…
Played ball all through highschool and university growing up in the Bird vs Magic era. That is how I like the game. I realize everything evolves in life, in sports, and that includes, in the game of basketball. So, I'm not sure if it is today's game or the work ethic of today's players that has turned me off the game. There are no more "men" like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Isiah Thomas etc., players who turned up every night, ready to work a full 48 minutes. It did not matter if they had a hangnail, a headache, or a fractured cheekbone, they had a job to do, and they did it. I find today's game boring, it is just a 3 point contest. Period. Full stop. For me, I'm not interested anymore because "the game has gone out of the game".
Lol i was gonna turn this off if JJ Reddick was one of the guys speaking for the past. He so disrespect and not a student of the game. Then Wilkins speaking facts in response. 😂
I agree with the old school it's why I don't watch the NBA anymore I grew up watching the old school.
1 of my favorite Kobe quotes about why he played hurt, "Somebody in those stands planned, saved up, took off, just to see me play. I can't let them down"
He that mentality from MJ
Thank you adam for making nba a clown show, 😂😂😂😂
I can't even remember the last time I watched an NBA game on TV. Pretty sure Kobe was still playing.
Gather step travel and carrying is my biggest gripe
Euro step
Shai isn’t the one in today’s game with a mid range game.
DeRozan has a mid range.
Klay has a mid range.
Devin Booker has a mid range.
Embiid has a mid range.
Jimmy Butler has a mid range.
Yes that comment was bit ridiculous. But definitely the true center post up skills are lacking in comparison to Olajuwon, Duncan, Ewing, Shaq, Mourning etc
Totally agree with all these legends they spitting out facts for sure
Modern 3s are great because it opens up spacing for everyone. Hence, i am surprised why bigs arent taking advantage of a less crowded paint!
Because they want Jack up 3's too
@@2playschemeo.p.croutes724 Explain why please…
Agree with all 15. I only watch the playoffs now. Growing up and into my mid-20s (2010), I never missed a game on tv. Never missed a Finals until 2012. Now, the game is unbearable. I've coached at the youth level, they are trying to be Curry and jack up threes. The game has never been worse.
Ant is a GOOFY who had a mere HALF SEASON of really good play.
MJ A CROSS DRESSER AND 5 WHITEMEN ON THE COURT WAS GARBAGE 🤡🤡
A whole Ignorant Dumb jock him and Ja Morant both urk me
Because back then there weren't - after all - such attractions off the court as there are now. Back then only basketball mattered. There wasn't as much money. People go crazy when they get money, they prefer off-court glamour, red carpets, etc. Today the NBA is a show in RS, lack of commitment, lack of defense, ASG is a joke! Serious play only begins in PO. Once the players of opposing teams were enemies, today they are friends patting each other on the butts and giving high fives after matches. Zero aggression, balls and a desire for revenge for a lost match. Total fun. But what's important! Because of how the game looks now - fun in the NBA, the USA is weaker and weaker on the international stage. In Europe they defend themselves, in the NBA they don't defend themselves. In the NBA a guy hits 15 three-pointers, in Europe it's unthinkable because he would have left the court a long time ago. In Europe there is no fucking ISOLATION! And in the NBA he hits one across the entire court and plays to himself. In the US it may be funny but someone watching it in Europe can't believe such shit, sorry. Apart from PO there's nothing to watch, seriously. You want to see doggedness and balls? Watch the FIBA Champions League. There's been no balls in the NBA for at least a decade!
PS.. I'm also surprised by the refereeing in the NBA - pharmacy. It's the referees (and therefore the NBA authorities) who are to blame for taking away the players' balls. You punish them with penalties for anything, taking away their manhood. Give them back their balls!!!! You're taking away the players' manhood, which is already dying out. You can't wave your hand because you'll get a technical and a 100k fine for anything. You can't fart during a game because you'd even punish them for it, because it's so unethical. And that's why they run around like xxxx. Nothing is allowed in this NBA anymore. The guy's a pussy... There's more balls in the WNBA already... Give the fans back the 90s and 2000!!!! and finally start defending!!!!
I agree with every single comment made by these great players. JJ Reddick and Anthony Edwards should both be made to wear DUNCE Caps and sit facing a corner of a classroom, and THEN be forced to watch film of ALL the NBA Greats from GEORGE MIKAN on down!!!
I think we know all of this. It’s very restricted. Not to mention you can’t get physical with players anymore. Shaq said it and most of the players that have played in those years said it too. The NBA today sucks.
It's gotten so bad that I can't watch the NBA anymore, only check results occasionally, it is really sad, it is NOT entertaining. Same with the NFL, can't stand all the BS.
Around 2015 I completely stopped watching the NBA. It’s sad, I used to love it, but then it became something I didn’t recognize.
Not just the NBA, international as well. They all need the moving screen to score.
Coach Red Auerbach said to learn the fundamentals of all the positions. It seems they've only learned the fundamentals of one position: shooting guard.
@ruminator3570 what position did they had beside hard fouls.
Today players can play more positions then the past,so what are you saying?
@m.d.maxwell1594 what he's saying is that today's players lack fundamentals and players today cannot play more positions. AND HE'S RIGHT!! Skill level, iq, athleticism and talent are at an all time low. Not to mention the lack of heart for the game!!
@jasonwaznak5825 that's a lie. The players today can play more positions then the 80's and 80's. You got 7 footer now that can bring the ball up and play pg. You have guards that can play sf.Then most of all the players in this era can dribble and shoot. Yeah they travel alot and don't get called but I rather they travel, then try to hurt someone for going to paint cause that's the only way to stop them. That some weak ass shit.
@m.d.maxwell1594 Sorry kiddo but truth is truth no matter how YOU CHOOSE to slice it. Love how you say you prefer them to travel,that explains a lot about what's wrong with the cupcake league of today. And back then, we understood since the 50s that basketball had defense,unlike today. Contact was part of the game and we were used to being challenged every step of the way!! Oh and tell me about the 80s and 80s will you!!??
With today's game leaves a lot to be desired,makes for the treasure archives to become a priceless record of an ancient age..brah!
Adam sliver is responisable for the weakest era in NBA history The kids today in the NBA are getting way too much money to play in the weakest NBA era ever!!..eg nba allstar, shooting more 3, no real defence, players resting policy, game management, no hand checking...players have taken control of the NBA and its continues to suffer....attendance is down, viewership is in the toilet, owners are selling there teams...the bad boys Detroit would destroy many of these players in the first half!!.....its a sad
Some people say players should are more skilled now, some of the passing in 90s, we don’t see much anymore, Rod Strickland, Kenny Anderson, mark Jackson. Some of those skills we do not see no more
These young guys have no respect for the game or it's legends. Its all about me and my money. They never talk about winning championships.
I ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY AGREE 💯percent TRUE 👍
ABSOLUTELY ON POINT 👍!!! TRUE !
Great Video 👍!
An underlying issue with today's NBA is 99% of plays start out with a left foot pivot. The prevalence is the highest in NBA history.
These legends know better
Reggie has it right. When the NBA decided you can’t contest a 3 point shot and end up in the shooters landing area, they had to know the shooters would take over and defence was dead.
Ja Morant punching air right now. 😂
There's something wrong with today's generation, and it's not even the players making the League, the bigger problem is the kids not making it.
Back in the day you had players from all kinds of backgrounds, but today like half the NBA has a father who played pro. Klay, Tatum, Steph, Luka, Wiggens, GPII, Booker, JJJ, the list goes on and it's only accelerating, next year 21/50 top high schoolers are NBA kids. Something is wrong with this generation.
As a coach the reality is these privileged kids with access to top trainers early on are often the ones who become the best players and you combine that with genetics and your odds go wayyy up.
Allstar games were real battles back in the day. Real basketball games to watch very entertaining. Competitive, but nowadays only 3 point shooting, million dollars contracts and load management
13:30 The future could be Wembenyama throwing Kareem Hook Shots from the 3 point line, and the NBA needing to make a 4 pt line 🤣
I agree with the whole video. This is why I no longer watch the NBA
lol blindly believing these guys without watching it for yourself? Talk about being sheep
@jed949 well,no lies have been told!
Great compilation, Gala!!
I believe this is why so many people enjoy watching Caitlin Clark play, she plays team basketball and scores. It’s like watching Michael Jordan without the dunks

Dope video brother ✊🏾
Rick Barry said, “Play smart defense and make the offense work for what they’re getting. . . Today a guy is 20 feet from the basket and drives in for a dunk. What are you, kidding me?”
Is he pretending that back in his day all of the games were nail-biters that came down to a final shot? Were there no blow outs?
And were there never any dunks created by penetration from the perimeter?
I like what Kobe said, "these guys today play accidental basketball."
That shit doesn't make any sense. "Play accidentally basketball"
@@m.d.maxwell1594 Renowned scholar, Kobe Bryant.
i like what kobe said too:
I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.
@pasigiri you just love Kobe cause there are no accidents that a man will make it to the NBA.
And he still won the case after her rape kit had evidence of 3 other men all she wanted was money as most prostitutes do he read a script for the media nothing new
Shaq wasn't the first big guy to go coast to coast.
He's also not Giannis. I remember the coast-to-coast play he's referring to--whole thing, not the edited version in this video. Straight line, awkward-looking dribble; we thought it was as funny as it was impressive that he actually made it the whole way. It didn't even closely resemble what Giannis does as an actual playmaker on the perimeter.
That said, sure he can play today. Surround him with shooters, who's stopping him if he has the paint to himself?
I am so glad MR. West made that statement . RESPECT THE GAME Too many 🤡 & the league.
NOW NBA IS JUST LIKE NOW ALLSTAR GAME !
The bigger question is How many of those guys 20 years ago could play in today's NBA..Embid could guard shack but could shack guard Embid? The Joker could guard Dwight Howard but could Dwight Howard the Joker? Could Tree Rollins guard Anthony Davis? COULD KEVIN GARNET GUARD NAZ REID?
I laugh when I hear Paul Pierce say no one in today’s game has a mid-range like Demar Derozon doesn’t exist
AE will never get anywhere with that karma from disrespect falling on his head.
The only thing the league is missing is a dynasty or a back-to-back champ. Then fans, players, and media would be talking about that dynasty, and not the old generation. GSW was our last dynasty but alot of fans write them off as a super team. I hope Boston repeats just for that reason. Then everyone would repect their playstyle cause it is working,you cant talk down
All they can say is physicality but it’s the same like before. You get called for flagrants now
@@jameskent836 What are a Flagrant Fouls?
I’m be honest with you I can’t watch todays basketball I end up yawning from the lack of skill and no calls on violations that literally happen every play 😂
I can’t watch todays nba ask Lefraud ain’t no party like a diddy party 🎈
I don't think we can only blame players for this, but the league's rule changes and the way things developed. Before it was outside in with packing the paint and fighting for position, now it's inside out where the 33/33/33 game is undeveloped and people just sit around the line and crack off 3's half the time.
We will see the point guards have more rebounds than the centers...
Yes I agree with the legends
Truth is spoken
Yet all of them either cover the NBA, are employed by the NBA or collect a check from the NBA generated by the revenue of the current NBA.
And your point is? You make it sound like these guys are skip bayless and stephen a. smith... these people MADE THE LEAGUE. stop being a clown parrot boi
Jerry West says its all about entertaining in today's nba but todays game ain't entertaining at all,it's quite boring.
Not even half of the league could play today.
????? tf u on???? HAHAHAHA
@@DarknessIss22 where do you buy your weed from??
@@jed949 These guys today would absolutely get destroyed by the players from the 80s. Put down the crack pipe. They are nothing but beta males.
Antman is a beast pause in thought in this era.
if you put ant in the 80s he will be out after 5 posessions with 3 to due to traveling.
Rules have changed to benefit and 'create' superstars over time. They practice shooting more now and, as such, are better overall when they're 'open'. Here's the thing though: even great shooters today wouldn't get as many clean looks back in the day. There would be more bumping and body contact, and the carrying and double-dribbling would be called, limiting that separation they so clearly need for the clean look. Even the people in this video don't mention the defensive three in the key rule. The league legislated rim defenders out of the game.
Back in the day Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf rarely scored 50 points as a pure long range shooter. Even in 1994 Western Conference first round playoffs Game 5 against the SuperSonics he scored only 8 points because of Gary Payton's defense. Now the same Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf can score 60 every three days.
They'd get plenty of clean looks if they game-planned for open threes the way they do now.
Rules changes are only a small part of it; ask any "back in the day" player who's a coach now and they'll tell you that teams were much more restrictive with regard to who was allowed to shoot threes, and how many.
Once the lightbulb went off and everyone finally realized that, because 3 is 50% more than 2 and, therefore, you don't need it to be a higher percentage shot than a mid-range jumper in order for it to be a more efficient shot, shooters at all five positions became a priority. In turn, defending shooters at all five positions became a priority. Your rim protector can't do much rim protecting if he has to come out to the perimeter to guard his assignment.
@@jordansoviet231) worse players than Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf had 50 point games "back in the day".
2) better players than Abdul-Rauf aren't scoring 60 every 3 days now.
I been playing ball since I was 10 and the first thing I was taught was a mid range jumper
Everything has a "rise and fall" ask the Roman Empire (my favorite)
I stopped watching basketball after Kobe retired
and they say that today's players are faster and more dynamic. Yes - if you don't defend but run to attack and shoot threes, you will probably have more strength than normal defenders, intercepting and playing the attack, right? Not long ago, in the 80' or 90' someone was covering someone with a plaster to exclude him from the match, etc. And today? I wasn't told to defend! Because I'll get tired! I have to have the strength to score 50 points on the newspaper. Did we lose? What do I care... Something has to change, but someone has to care about it. Another ASG like that and no one in Europe will watch it. I recommend doing some kind of survey on this topic. Maybe it will teach you something. In the past, you waited all day and night for a match, and after the match in the morning you went to the pitch to play. Today, who is going to watch this circus?
When you make LBJTQ the face of your league you get soft softest era in NBA history.

Reggie was amazing but I think he forgot what his career ppg was lol...never over 25ppg and career avg of 18ppg so maybe he averages 24ppg in today's game for his career and 31ppg for his best season but he was glazing at 45 lol

What if the NBA added two lines like in hockey of which you have to be past the center Court line and that line in order to take a shot? The league needs to cross back into physicality without going full on into bad boys mode.
-Players too friendly with each other now
-You’re not allowed to defend
-They want players to run around without being touched
-It’s too easy to score
-Too many three-pointers
-It’s getting predictable and boring to watch
That is why the view rate keeps dropping years after years!
I totally agree
Agree with all the above
make the paint 3 point for scoring in the paint bring back the thriller
All the traveling violations! NBA - No Bouncing Allowed! The softness of the NBA today! NBA - No Bruises Allowed. All they do now is shoot the ball from the moon and hope it goes in. They may be more athletic but MANY OF THE CANNOT AND DO NOT PLAY DEFENSE! NBA - No Barriers Allowed! Because they do not study the game or the players they will play against. They are too busy spending their millions and of course doing Tiktok, Instagram, and other social media stuff. For many of the NBA players today and even their coaches, basketball IQ is lacking. All they want to do is out-shoot or out-score their opponents. No defensive strategies whatsoever. NBA - No Brains Applied. And LOAD MANAGEMENT! WTF?!
In 1992 the NBA was the exact opposite No Babies Allowed. Now you see babies and pussies rule the game.
Travelling,carrying,no real defense,flopping and the awful 3 seconds rule. And I almost forgot the inconsistent referees.
nba should change their name to nbe instead,
Today's NBA is watered down I been lost interest ever since Tim Duncan retired nothing like the 80's& 90's I sure Miss all of those Great players who played for the Love of the game not just a paycheck 💯💯
Luka said FIBA is more difficult than NBA
You really dont know, do you?
😂
While I agree with the defense part of all they say, what the hell is their issue with 3 pointers,.3 pointers did not breakdown the defense or the hand check rule. It opens up the defense I think that is a good for the game.
They forget to mention that this NBA generation does not play Defense.
Wilt brought coast to coast with ease
I'd like to see today's skills with the aggression and defense of 90s combined and be a great league again..big man crashing the boards but 3s stil raining from good shooters...hand checking .. true ball handlingl less complaining...i guess itsbjust to much to ask for....too much money makes bigger babies over all
6:15 FACTS they lazy this generation. NO DEE.
Magic johnson...michael jorden..larry bird..Allen iverson patrick ewing Kareem jabar..james worthy ..scottie pipen..reggie miller jason kid ..jason williams kevin garnette ..stephan maurbery ..Tracy Mgrady..Isahia thomas ..hakeim the dream.and Shaquille o neil ..And Kobe bryant
You See these names right here if they made my list it means they were all no joke ..damgerous and serious ballers ..they need to respect the past ..and i like the older generation because the game was played more competitive it got real during playoff season..it was like ok Kobe cool with Tim duncan untill play off season and both teams are top 5 western confrence playoffs you best belive they Are NOT FRIENDS ANY LONGER GAME ON GLOVES OFF..LETS GET IT . .nowadays its not so much today its like lebron is friends with steph during playoffs he is like oh wow steph great shot bro way to go thumbs up.wth is that ..😅😅😅
JJ will never live down that awful take on Larry
The game is a joke Today, every game seems to be played like the All Star game, Score, no Defense.
19:20 she's soooooo into him
Don't consider baseball much of a sport, but that, hockey and for the most part football players play with intensity and the right way. Even North American soccer is played with the skill and intensity it deserves. NBA basketball is a bunch of showboating and has lost its integrity as a competitive interesting sport. The average fan wants to see athletes go all out on both sides of the ball. Why go to an NBA game if you can go to the Cirque de soleil and see better entertainers.
another point is everybody want to be like Golden State Warriors.. yet not everybody should be them or Steph Curry.. let them be them
Silver is stubborn, he thought he was improving the product but did exactly the opposite. It works for short clips online I guess but the NBA is far less watchable then it was before he was commissioner. People wanna blame the ratings going down on other things and while some of that may factor in the fact is that it was far more entertaining before they started trying too hard to fix it. Reminds me of musicians that lose their core audience by trying to please the masses or follow a trend only to have it not work the way they thought it would.
both young and old talk their a..es off. if you put old timer to new rules, he will adapt, if you put new guys to old school basketball, they'd adapt too, and have playing style and stats in accordance to the rules of the era they play.
My personal complete discretion about the game that i love and the NBA, came after the Milwaukee Bucks - Miami Heat 1st round series when the 10nth seed Miami Heat - which is whom i'm supporting actually, way back from the 90's - beat the 1st seed Bucks, favourites to win the title.
Last 6 seconds of regular time there's a jumpball, Milwaukee is 1 point ahead - plays, referee calls, everything was getting more ridiculous with every next possession. After the jumpball, the ball was in the hands of Milwaukee's best player who simply doesn't want the ball and just tosses it away and hopes for the best. Last 2 seconds Miami puts up a bucket to tie the score with 0.5 sec left. Milwaukee's coach didn't take a time out. To win the game.
After the game Antetokounmpo gave a larger than Disney speech, when asked the seemigly stupid question ''Was it a failure?''
The Nba will get more and more paradox.
Players are getting injured not because of competing, but because they don't know how to play physical.
Referees wathing videos during the game and since they don't know how to comprehent rules, they' re just lottering calls.
Spectators competing about the loudest - and creepy - way to commercialize their phrases and enumarate stats lines and new records just to make themselves feel important in national broadcast.
We're talking about basketball, where the concept of dribbling has no meaning.
In this text, it comes as natural for the Nba Commissionaire to have an argument about the competitiveness of the game.
It's hard anymore not to watch them players as just millionaires who get offended if someone tries to stop their way to the basket. We 're having conversations that are out of context.
Thank you for giving me the chance to say these stuff.
P.s. My loyalty to players like: Buck Williams, Otis Thorpe, Jerome Kersey, Antoine Carr, Mike Brown, Michael Cage, Anthony Mason, Terry Cummings , Derrick McKey, Ricky Pierce, Dale Davis ...the list has no ending...
The game starts when the Big Man asks for the ball and gets it.
Is that era when some guy shitted him self and acted he got injured?
