    If I had a time machine, I would like transport some of the posters to the 90s
    specifically making them the stunt doubles in the Above the Rim street ball scene, the team opposite Birdie's (Tupac) team.
    @Os Trigonum

    then I would break the time machine

    When your grandkids laugh at Harden compared to the genetically enhanced cybernetic basketball players of the future,
    we will appear in your reoccurring dreams laughing at you for dissing the 90s

    You're going senile.... It's time you find a 90s thread to bump so that can use your low ball IQ gimmick

    Facts



    OH my GOD... The intensity and handchecking is UNBELIEVABLE... SOOO STRONG....

    It's also showing their ignorance as hard hand checking was illegal in the 90s.. They called hand check fouls if you pushed or guided the offensive player... MJ got those calls plenty.... Not only that, but you could get away with more if you were the offensive player too.... More pushoffs and offensive fouls were allowed which also benefits Harden who is bigger and stronger than the majority of guards if not every guard.

    Michael for sure. These millennials cry over every tacky fouls. You could put your hands all over the players back in the day. They were out for blood back in the day... then Detroit brawl happen. Then everyone went soft.

    My eyes tell me Harden is better shooter and that's it... Harden needs to win a couple of titles like 3 before we dare compare him to someone who has never lost in the NBA finals (6 times). We always underestimate how good someone really was because those youtube clips don't do him justice...

    This isn’t even hard as a Rockets fan.

    It’s clearly Jordan.

    This thread is about insulting the 90s
    Not even about basketball

    Obviously does not understand history and why we got to this point where everything in society is soft and sensitive now

    look at robocop the original movie vs the remake
    The original was better

    I can’t speak on Robocop LOL.

    I can speak that hand checking in the 90’s was considered good defense and it’s a whole hell of a lot harder to guard someone without touching them.

    No one said they hate the 90s at all... This is simply a matter of fact... That's a strawman from the tinman.

    False... Stop pretending you watched **** back in the day... They called a shitload of touch fouls as well back in the 90s... There were also more fouls called overall... Also more FTs shot... The difference was you could commit harder fouls without getting a flagrant or ejected...

    As I've already said... Hard handchecking was illegal... You couldn't just push or guide the opposing player with your hands... That was called a foul... Handchecking was also not as prevalent as you claim... Just go watch any random game RIGHT NOW... You'll see pretty quickly that is a rarity and that's even in the playoffs... not only that, but players on offense had even more leeway to push off as well.

    @Os Trigonum

    You want to think you know about
    hoops sir
    by making decades comparison
    like back to the future
    millennials want history easy on youtube
    but you are just a Clutchfans newb
    Morey tells the media juice
    cause he's trolling
    you fell for the bait
    we're laughing
    on the floor rolling
    you act like you are small town preacher
    you can't tell us anything
    cause we're like Jesus, we're the teacher
    dumb kids need to get off line
    cause you can't touch Clutchfans members
    from 99

    Jordan, Dream and Mike Tyson
    but they get swept up
    like dirt by a Dyson
    Time changed the apes
    to men
    but apparently newbs
    never seen a pen
    they don't know how write facts
    just spit out lies
    Millenials stuck on an island
    like lord of the flies
    OP knows nothing
    nobody wants to hear it
    We're Nirvana
    and he smells like teen spirit
