90's bball was the , not sure wtf Harlem is talking about. In the 90's there weren't really any divas or atleast if you were you'd get tossed up. Fouls were harder and the game was more about who is the alpha dog. Today's game is about who is the best at flopping and being a little .The 90's on today's NBA

I prefer 80s basketball because that's what I grew up with, it was still a time of hard fouls, just wasn't as thuggish as 90s. even Bad Boys Pistons didn't seem as ugly as some of the in the 90s, outside of the Bulls.
lefty why you have that overrated as your avatar?
Derrick Coleman got on the cover of SI in '95 for being a whining, petulant diva.... Chris Webber held out and forced a trade after his rookie year, Scottie Pippen pouted on the bench when Phil didn't draw up the game-winning play for him.... players would skip practice, try to get guaranteed playing time clauses in their contracts, , Chris Morris even wrote "trade me" on his sneakers....
The revisionist history about the '90s NBA is hilarious, people really do believe everything they hear from the media
The 3 time SB champ ?
Troy Aikman has 3 rings, he's not as good as Brady but he ain't a whining like him either.
Add Brad Daugherty and Rik Smits to that list. There is literally a handful of bigs in the league now with any post moves at all. All face up Center's.
Isn't HH gay? Not surprising he likes soft basketball.The 90's on today's NBA

When the season ends, you'll be bored, wishing the season was on.
1996-2000 IMO is one of the most boring stretch of basketball. You have the league on life support hopelessly banking on Jordan's appeal to save them from bankruptcy. They were so desperate, that every athletic wingman or NC grad is pegged as the next Jordan
Personally suggesting one era is better than the other is unreasonable IMO. In every decade or era, there is a timeline of bland and uninspiring basketball and there are seasons that completely stand out. For example, 91-93 was dope. I don't care what you say, but Jordan in his prime was a once in a lifetime, especially against the Knicks.
2001-2003 was decent until the Finals rolled in, the league invested heavily in Shaq-Kobe. We did saw Iverson and Carter duke it out in the playoffs and McGrady delivered the lulz against the Pistons. 04-05 was a snooze fest but Spurs-Pistons series did save it from going down as the worst.
2006-2011 were the finest years IMO. You can all disagree but that was the perfect storm for me. Lakers-Celtics, Dirk putting on one of the best post season run by annihilating the Lakers and the Heat. Wade, Lebron, Arenas and even new comers like KD and Brandon Roy were giving us plenty of highlight reels. Not a fan of them? No problem, Duncan and Gasol were schooling everyone in the post. And if you feel like going retro,
Shaq, Mutombo, Zo and Kidd were somehow in the mix.
This season is the obligatory stink fest. Just look at the Eastern Conference and the watered down talent representing another uninspring All Star event, braise yourself for another $hitty season
I was thinking the same !Laker fan detected
That pales in comparison to the amount of "divas" the current generation has though.

Also, Coleman deserved the S.I. cover at the time. If there was a definitive season that turned his career, it was 93-94 where he led the Nets to a playoff team, was selected as an All Star and helped USA capture gold in the FIBA World Championship. It was fools gold, sure, but the time S.I. rolled with that issue, they were acknowledging DC's best season at that point in his career.
he earned the right to
That's not what the cover was about, dumbass
DC, lazy POS
Such a talented player, he could have dominated most big men for a long time
I know him taking s on Shaq for 2-3 seasons
Oh, me then. I should've checked the cover firstThat's not what the cover was about, dumbass
he is the best player in your franchise history got
Dominos Durant >>> Payton, tbh
you're a cheese but props for digging up something most of us overlook
Co sign
He's right…….. when you have teams like the Spurs out there that will always be the case.
Theyre bad news for tomorrows athletes at the time which means todays athleteThat's not what the cover was about, dumbass
noDominos Durant >>> Payton, tbh
Wrong again, the actual article listed diva-esque that Coleman and other players at the time were doing

Did you even watch 90s ball? There is no way anyone who watched night in and out prefers todays ball. It was tough basketball, today you got guys like Blake Griffin who flop just for the taste of itWrong again, the actual article listed diva-esque that Coleman and other players at the time were doing

I hope that is a rhetorical question. Because judging from his response he obviously hasn't.
