Can't find a video, but back during Dad Killer's gambling suspension, the Bulls lost to the Spurs, and Pippen got ejected and threw a chair onto the court like he was Bobby Knight.
Some of you may not remember this...jaws were dropped when it happened

90's NBA.. so bad that basketball was almost not a sport.

First thing I thought of when the thread started.
That gives me the feeling you didn't even watch the NBA during the 90's. There were more great teams with notable future HoF's than today.
And you guys forgot about the NBA on NBC as a positive. The 90's were the NBA's golden age.
CN and the entire 90's suck crew are about 22-25 years old. Im pretty sure they were all ranging from 4-9 years old at best the LAST time MJ won a ring. No one that was alive to watch 90's ball actually think its anything shy of the greatest era in NBA history.
They also think May is greater than Ali
Can't possible top Vernon maxwell charging into the stands to beat up a heckler (that lowlife heckler deserved it).
Great stuff. Dude had a bad temper he was still a fan fave. Though they never won anything of consequence enjoyed that Van Exel, Eddie Jones backcourt as a kid whenever me and best friend played he was NVRE and I was Eddie ...and we tried our best to wreck shop on the playground (didnt always work but we had fun).
I remember when Magic returned, for the second & last time. After what, a couple weeks, he got so frustrated he pushed that referee, wasn't it the old white guy that Barkley raced, Bavetta? And to tell the truth Van Exel had something to do with that frustration. Magic came back and needed his job and I imagine Van Exel didn't want to just give it up. He'd worked hard, I don't blame him. It was bad times then, with many dark days ahead.
If he'd just not rushed to mic after the HIV positive test and retired. Just wait for five in' minutes, but, Magic never had restraint. That trait probably was involved in his contracting HIV. Then he let Malone talk him about of "immediately" returning. By the time he decided to come back for the last time it was too late, he was too old, too fat, too frustrated, too humiliated.
People crap on the 90's and the 80's here but it was one of the best coneergence of great players we may have had ever.CN and the entire 90's suck crew are about 22-25 years old. Im pretty sure they were all ranging from 4-9 years old at best the LAST time MJ won a ring.

IF you start around MJ's Rookie year (mid 80's) To say circa 1987 you had these players at or near their primes or just heading in to it:
1. MJ
2. Magic
3. Isiah
4. Nique
5. Malone
6. Stockton
7. Bird
8. Worthy
9. Chuck
10. Ewing
11. Hakeem
12. Drexler
13. Mullin
And that's just off the top of the dome ...
Then in the next two years we have entering the league: Pippen, David Robinson, Reggie Miller (iirc). Being added to those guys so by the early 90's even as Magic Bird Isiah leave you have so much HOF caliber talent. Now I do agree that the 90's suffers in the mid to later part of the decade because the drafts at the end of the 80's sucked. (The 1989 draft had 8 of the top 10 become busts including Never Nervous Pervis) Plus the early 90's had some clunkers too ...From 89-91 Only GP is a lock for the HOF. That is why the 90's dipped in quality the 80's stars got old and the drafts were horrid until 1992 When Shaq, Zo, and Horry (not a HOF'er but helped the HOF'ers win les) came in to the league ...
Also how Magic lost it as a coach when a player's (was it NVE?) pager went off during a film session or something. Magic grabbed the pager and threw it against the wall in frustration because the kids were respecting the game.
Imagine how Magic would feel when he sees his players in the locker room tweeting non-stop (or even during a game). He'd go all magic johnson on them.
This is the ONLY spot on planet Earth that downplays the 90s era. If you tell anyone 90s ball was the worst you would get laughed at. I'm pretty sure the 90s ball sucks crew think Drake>2pac
Ironically, the '90s era is the Drake of NBA basketball. Horrible product, but still popular because the media shoves it down everyone's throats.
erm, how so?
Well said
I don't get why Starks is being laughed at so badly.
Why was he that bad?
How were teams like Atlanta with Kyle Korver and Jeff Teague any better in terms of star power?
Paul George? Roy Hibbert?
Draymond green projected to get the max?
Kawhi being a no brainer max player?
James harden?
Jimmy butler?
A 39 year old duncan?
An ancient MVPau?
And again why Starks? He was a second option on a team that got to the finals twice because jordan went play baseball/retired.
