OT: Gary Payton dropping truth bombs, today's NBA is boring and sucks

Theres no shame if he likes todays ball more, its just my opinion, but I liked the sport more when these guys used to overpower eachother and kind of rumble. Thanks to dumb Artest and Stephen Jackson, from the moment the Palace incident occured, Stern and the NBA made these guys softer so that their image would change.

You can credit corn rolls Iverson and Spree for much of that. The NBA negro was always a bit raw boned, but these wannabe ghetto chimps took it to a new level, they tried to bring gangsta into the NBA and it backfired on the league as whitey stopped going to watch streetball.

lol gettin arm sleeve tats to stand out from the players on the court

then getting arm sleeve accessories cause the tattoos might offend/attract gangbangers...

fake ass chimps in the league....

imo they should get rid of all accessories...fkn scrubs have no business wearing all these gear to show off....

pretty much. other than Spurs ringing in late 90s, that era sucked to me. no Jordan but plenty of "new MJs" the league wanted to prop up, with Stern finally settling on Rapist. Kobe was appealing to some though for not being a thug and I understand that. Stern's dress code was one of his best ideas, they had to do something before it turned into Django Unchained out there.

Grant Hill was the new MJ until he got injured. I wish he would have had a complete career, dude was a beast.

At one point in a press conference, I was waiting for some big nail pulling negro to stand up and say "give to us our freeeeeee"

Grant Hill would've been the best MJ clone or knockoff. Better guy than Rapist or MJ and was a great player before injuries.

Can't forget 2006 and 2007 when Stern tried desperately to make Wade the new MJ. The NBA sucks today because the league tries too hard to improve itself and care more about making money and gaining new fans than trying to keep the dedicated and hard core fans that actually give a about their teams and players. The NBA is trying too hard and changing too many things.
