Basketball is what it is cause they're no more goons

Honestly, you think these players would be putting up these numbers in the detroit bad boy days? these mfs going ape shyt and not getting touched. the league needs someone besides lance stevenson, he's funny don't get me wrong. But these dudes don't have to worry about rodman, oakley, laimbeer, even starks to name a few. i'll take the negs and whatever, but for the most part we all grew up playing where there was no such thing as charges, picks used to take your wind out, and if you came in the paint you paid for it. i'll take the old man jokes(36) but all these "what if" series would greatly depend on what rules were applied. curry lighting the league up right now, but how long before he caught that flagrant from zeke?

Steph Curry is great in any era.

Maybe he doesn't live in the paint as much in the late 80s, but shooters translate any era and style of play

That makes the product shytty. Basketball right now, for me, hasn't been this exciting since Jordan was breaking hearts.
