[QUOTE="Brian Renville, post: 296656, member: 256"] The legal defense now is much tougher now than in the past. These guys are so quick it's amazing. As far as the past goes flagrants didn't get you kicked out back then and then there used to be the almighty hand check. Remember the "be like Mike" gatorade commercial, he even hand checked a little kid. It wasn't tougher D thought just just made back to the basket play much more important leading to more double teams. Jordan changes his game to beat the hand check, remember when 80% of the shots were turn around fade aways. That wasn't the most entertaining either. That kinda thing is usless now with the level of humans playing d. A floater used to be a low percentage shot now its common because its tough to find anything easier. You're right it's training and nutrition, that's why it's really only prudent to compare the entertainment value. Stacked teams is a big thing true, the trades that make the NBA teams now wouldn't have been allowed back then. Those stacked teams like the bulls and rockets, and suns, and knicks in the 90s weren't able to be considered "stacked" until it was shown on the court what these guys could do. Now they go somewhere win then head for states with no income tax. [/QUOTE]
