Wondering what happened to basketball. No hard fouls, no stares, no emotion, no teams, just players. David Stern has tried to turn everybody into robots, he took away the soul of the game.

Epic.

[FreshSlippp]

assholes who disliked this

[globalplayer1988]

because of mj they changed the rules to make it harder to score but he would still dominate

[heycolslaw]

Were Carl & Moses Malone cousins, or related in some way?

[uberathlete]

@heycolslaw no relation whatsoever.

[mightyPants]

Back when the NBA let guys play physical defense.

[NummiSoldier]

what shoes are those exactly? dunk highs? or what?

[noelh98]

@NummiSoldier they look a lot like the Air Force 2's but for some reason i doubt that those are them

[NummiSoldier]

@noelh98 yeah my initial reaction was air force 2's. the person who posted the vid needs to put what shoes they are in the description.

[TheZeke1974]

[emtec2111]

the 90's = better music, better NBA , better heavyweight boxing

[tkcwu]

i would not even go inside the 3 pt like with those catz patrolling the paint and playing d the way they do in the 80s.

[CHARRIS5550]

late 80's to the late 90's was when the basketball shoes were at its best. Nike actually had someone to compete with

[GunGemini]

@CHARRIS5550

exactly! Reebok and Converse actually stepped up and even lesser brands like Aivia,BK, Ellesse, and even L A GEAR threw there hat in the ring aswell

[pl0xpl0xz]

the old school legends

[Hernia901]

Gotta get me a pair of Moses and Buck's late career goggles

[noelh98]

david stern considers all of that flagrant fouls... current nba = wwe = fake

[NallePu83]

@noelh98 You know why they changed the rules....to help Kobe so people think he is the new Michael jordan.

Woow 81 points
