Looks like defense to me
Anybody know what sport this is, tbh? What the is this trash?!
Some great grind-out basketball. Work the shot clock, pass up your open shots to get a contested mid range look, then get right back to playing D because scoring isn't essential to winning.. defense is!
man off ball movement in the 90's was non-existent.
Who started using off ball movement heavily?
I know a few teams started using a lot of weak side movement around 05...But I only really started watching ball 2002..Maybe someone did it in the late 90's...?
just horrible basketball, not even great D, just jacking up terrible shots...
Early 2000's Kings team comes to mind with all their backdoor cuts and off ball screens.
They sure scored more than a combined 15 points in the quarter though.

Gotta love the superior pace and space era of ball.
^^that's a pretty fair comparison, tbh..Knicks-Magic of today in their penultimate games of the season on a b2b to the top East contenders of the 90s outside of the Bulls..
Speaking of low scoring....
'90s basketball
After last year's finals, i couldn't watch even a minute of 90's & 00's ball. Heck even the 2005 le run games looked horrible. I'd love to see how the 2014 Spurs would do against the 90's Bulls.
We are witnessing greatness with Pop.
Good post, tbh..
DK is lucky that he didn't have to go through Pop's motion offense. The fact that it negates elite defense is what makes it all the more impressive.
Phildo would eventually have to hide DK on the likes of Enrique and Airs, and it still wouldn't be enough to avoid getting swept.
Man's basketball
I know that OP and CN are like 22-24 years old, I say this not in an antagonistic manner because being young is ing awesome, but did you guys even really see 90's basketball? I mean its one thing to watch it night in and night out and its an entirely other thing to youtube some of the greatest moments and assume you know what it is.
So wait..That ISO ball video is one of the greatest moments in the 90's?
wow how anyone enjoyed basketball in the 90's is beyond me..
I watched a lot of Jordan-era games, that's when I actually started liking the game... it was just a different era, with different rules... I don't really miss it, tbh, there's some things that suck on every era (I know I already hate the 10+ min replay reviews), but I really like today's basketball overall.
At least it's better than watching Oscar Robertson trying to dribble with his off-hand, or Bill Russell trying to make a layup, to be fair..
Heat ran double picks and back screens as weak side action off of pnr and postups. that was their offense. Knicks were more that triangle high post low post bull and they had ty wing talent.
It's like you want to agree with the OP but really don't know how so you just talk out your ass.weakside motion is new to the modern era.
The early 2000s was brutal as well. The Nets-Spurs series is by far the worst display of offensive basketball in NBA history.
Pretty much this. There's little difference between mid-90's basketball and basketball from 00-05, before the rule changes. Right now, the overall game is at its peak in that great offense and great defense can co-exist harmoniously. The 80's saw the offensive extreme with terrible overall defense. The 90's-05 saw the defensive extreme. The rule changes have made wing players untouchable, but other than that, they've really been a boon to the game.
No smart ass, its not, but if I went the direction and said this is one of the worst videos then their counter argument would be that the greatest hits is the same . Read my brotha
