games between the Ewing led Knicks against the Jordan Bulls... or the Olajuwan Rockets against the Drexler Blazers? Karl Malone & John Stockton coming into the Garden to take on Mark Jackson & Patrick Ewing in the middle of February...

I just can't get into today's NBA... at least not until playoff time and even then, I change channels and tend to not come back...

AGree 100%
Its soooooooooo bad.......
How about the Lake Show against the celtics in the 80's?

No doubt, the league is watered down right now. About 4 teams need to get cut, and kids out of HS shouldn't be playing. Make them pretend to go to college for at least 2 years, like the NFL does.

This is sad because it means I'm getting old. But I completely agree. My father never watched basketball when I was growing up because he didn't get it anymore. To him it was "a bunch of millionaire niggers running up and down." The game is still great...the players just aren't.

Ever since the player strike of 98 I believe, I haven't gotten back into basketball. And since our so called "Dream Teams" started loosing I realized that getting into our basketball is a waste of time since it isn't the best basketball in the world. Yes, I miss those days.

Absolutely. Watching Jordan in his prime was the best. Today's NBA pretty much bores me.

The good old days of team ball and defense. And white guys on the celtics.

Bird vs. Magic was the greatest, most entertaining basketball ever. Celtics vs. Lakers in the 80's will never be topped.

Bird vs. Magic was the greatest, most entertaining basketball ever. Celtics vs. Lakers in the 80's will never be topped. Agreed.

P.S.-- Fuck the Celtics.

nba basketball is horrible now, although i dont mind watching lebron james, great all-around player

I was interested even through the last 90's, but now can't do it.

Umm, have you guys watched the Suns or the Mavericks lately???

old NBA was great every knicks game was a nail-biter!!! loved close, defensive games

What does defensive mean? The concept must've slipped my mind.

Have you watched the Suns play defense? That's not basketball. It's an all-star game.

Your father is pretty liberal with the N word

Your father is pretty liberal with the N word

Yeah, he could be. He'd fit in great around here.

I'm not so sure

Watching Iverson play is a treat

I think college basketball is where its at. The compairson of the NCAA tournament and the NBA playoffs is unparallel

I can watch Dwayne Wade, AI, Steve Nash ... Oh, and Artest when he's off his meds.

The rest though ...

I miss the NBA from the 70's, Walton vs. Jabbar.

just last night I was saying I'm glad I'm not much younger (33) and that I (barely) got a chance to see basketball at its best. Good thing I was watching at a young age, too...

oh yeah... and I thought that if I bet on a couple of games, I might be able to get back into it.

Nope.

The league was much better in the 80's when there were fewer teams. The teams were not watered down and the passing game was 1000 times better and more entertaining.

Since Mike left, and the Sixers run in 2001 I just can't get into it.

Give me Price, Daugherty and Nance playing at the old Richfield Coliseum. With Howie Chizek, who as a PA announcer blew away these clowns of today saying, "Mark Price for THREEEEE!!!" Don't get me wrong, I love LeBron and he will lead the Cavs to the championship Jordan CB'ed Cleveland from. We Cavs fans still think if only Ron Harper would have stayed instead of the owner trading him away because he grew up and actually talk to a drug dealer or 2. LET'S GO CAVS!! SHAKE IT UUUUUUUUUP!!

The NBA has been headed downhill for years. Games used to mean something. Players used to mean something. Now it's all bullshit. Jordan, Magic, Larry, Dream Team etc.... I miss it.

It's still alright sometimes, but it'll never be as good as the 80's-- most of these bastards are just spoiled now. My old man is a lot like Howard's and many others from the Baby-boomer generation (and before)-- teaching, but not really bonding. One of my favorite memories growing up, was sitting in the family room-- my Father, Brother and myself-- watching the "Showtime Lakers" and listening to Chick and Stu commentate; a lot of yelling and laughing. I still remember when they announced the Dream Team going to the Olympics; I bought all of us a copy of that Sports Illustrated. The shit's just not the same.

I just can't get into today's NBA... at least not until playoff time and even then, I change channels and tend to not come back... yeaup, i'm still mad about the knicks lost to the heat in the 97 playoffs....but really basketball has declined in terms of stars. Whoever was the PR guy for the nba in the 80's /early 90's, should be brought back for all sports because all sports now are not the same since 2000.

Orlando use to be such a quiet place until all the spics and redneck started to live together. I miss orlando....

I sure in the hell don't miss those Hot Pants they used to wear :p Lord Have Mercy :kiss:

Earl the Pearl and Dr J..............

Nice photo of Dr. J. I loved the poster that converse put out of Dr. J with his arm fully upright soaring through the air enroute to a slam dunk. I don't know if people remember that poster, it was pretty popular. I suck @ the internet otherwise I would try to find it.

You said it-it's been real hard for me. I don't watch nearly as much as I did. It's a diffrent game. This guy is one of the high spots in the league.

i can say that i seen the old nba live back when i was in san antonio in 94 during tech school.

i went to a few spurs games, about 3 and saw the knicks when they had Ewing, the sonics with the real shawn kemp, and manute bol when he was on golden state. Seeing david robinson was a plus also. one of his best highlights thats still shown to this day, was from a game that i was at when they played the knicks. avery johnson alley-oop to Robinson for a ONE HANDED SLAM!

I miss the old blazer teams, 89 90, 90-91, 91-92. that was a great team, clyde, porter, kersey, busk, duckworth. But I also miss old players like bird, magic, jordan, drexler, pip and way to many better players then anybody today.
