I'd say the early 90's. Celtics with Bird and the Lakers with Magic were always good finals. Then along came Jordan and the clown show started. Not that he was
a clown, it's just the way the game was being played.

Basketball, real basketball, doesn't have a three point line, doesn't have players running half way down the court without dribbling, doesn't carry the ball, and many other so called entertainment crap that were invented to make it "more entertaining" for the fans. I haven't watched an NBA game in 20 years, don't follow it at all. Bunch of thugs playing street ball.
Im almost to that point with the NFL also. When is a catch a catch or a TD really a TD?

i love the 3 pointers! don't believe i've ever seen anybody "run halfway down the court without dribbling either, prob'ly watchin' a different game, i watch a lot of spurs, warriors and celtics. i guess i haven't seen any of that "entertainment crap that was invented to make it more interesting" either. You might be watching the wrong games, Owl......i don't watch hardly any of that eastern stuff 'cept, of course the celtics......mac

I don't watch much Basketball but when I do I perceive that the "traveling" rule applies only at the Interscholastic level. Once you get to college and pro it's totally ignored.
"A boy cannot become a girl and a man cannot become a woman, not even if he shuts his eyes and wishes really hard."

I actually like Rodman. I liked him when he played and when he was in the Apprentice. I heard his interview on Howard Stern a couple weeks ago and he is an interesting person.
