@udith sethu players don’t care about the sport and team as much as they did in the past… players weren’t making millions just to be on the team… u had to fight

@Acid Bath ArchiveWhy do you think players don’t care about the sports or the team as they did in the past? Also there are plenty of players who care about money aswell as the players team.

You want players to decline after 8 and retire after 12 years?
Thats what you get if you dont have Pop and „his“ load management.

Pop style is what hurt the brand & TV ratings.

Todays average NBA player is MUCH softer than in the 80s-90s.-

The ain’t soft it’s the rules and the refs the players gotta adjust to the this new game of basketball dats all dat is

@NOT YOUR AVERAGE 10k
Todays players are softer than their 80s-90s counterparts.
The “why” is irrelevant.
Quit being a clown like SAS and accept the facts as they are.

He Should be Suspended for 2 games. It was a play that broke the Code. 😮

@YT only likes whyt peeple Yes He took out Gary Patton 2 for the series. D Green will be waiting to avenge the code of Basketball 🏀. If that Happens to Ja Morant would you feel the Code was broken.?

Man the game is soft as Scott Tissue, just goes to show you that SAS is a straight up clown 🤡, and never step foot on the court..

The refs are soft
Duane Spruill
May 6, 2022 at 12:26 pm
I’m trying to understand your point because SAS religiously says the 80’s and 90’s were more tougher than today and his favorite line is “you can bad breath and get called for a foul now” so I dont understand your point

@Duane Spruill so watch highlights from those years of fouls and flagrant and you’ll see the difference they made rules fir michael jordan called the jordan rules about fouls against him the bad boys Detroit Pistons and the Knicks when they had Ewing and Oakley it was alot different from now this Era is cotton swab soft fouls 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah because throwing punches and elbows is physical basketball and just what the NBA needs. People forget that those to resorted to that behaviour were the ones who were almost useless on the court.

Lets be honest. Part of the fact that he got suspended has to do with the fact he took out GP2 out of this series with this foul. TBF it is fair to take that into account to some extend.
Keymon Robinson
May 6, 2022 at 12:06 pm
It wasn’t intentional. Dray grabbed a guy his shirt mid air no suspension. Brooks went for ball gp2 just got bodied / fell the wrong way

1) Even if the game is less physical, Injuries still occur that need time to heal, Joel Embiid and Draymond can tell you that after their recent injuries.
2) People are not meant to be worked to the bone, not athletes, not anyone. Which is exactly what the NBA is advocating for, having players work till they get injured, play through injuries and get surgery in the offseason just in time to be work to the bone again next season. It’s not worth it.
3) NBA players had to play through the physical style back in the day because the pay level was lower, and they had bills to pay and people to provide for. The pay is better now, so players don’t have to sacrifice their livelihood anymore to get payed and live a good life, which is a GOOD THING!
