Holy 90s defenses were ass tbh

I do not hold or own any of this clips,
I just compile the clips of the others and make a highlight series to the great players.
Michael Jordan averaged 31/8/6/2 with 50+% FG
and lead the Bulls swept Pistons and defeat the Lakers and end the Lakers Dynasty.
He won the MVP+FMVP+Champ+NBA 1st team+NBA 1st D-Team
And then he started Bulls dynasty and concrete his GOAT status as the ONE ABOVE ALL
Hope you guys like my video.Thanks a lot!
Why do you think so, bro?
Those defense is ing physical
Not like current pussy league....
Defenders not really challenging his shots, letting him goi to the rim no rotation, and definitely no physicality
its funny how with all the clear evidence, people still think 90s and prior defense was supremely brutal all game every game, when in fact the single biggest difference is more tolerance for flagrant fouls and fighting
i dont disagree that there was a higher level of physicality and tenacity, but much of that has to do with 1) players/coaches dont care about regular season nearly as much as they used to, and 2) rule definitions being exploited by offensive players making it much more difficult for defenders to be physical without the offensive player finding a way to initiate a foul
thats why the playoffs still have very tenacious defense since refs usually will allow a more physical game and players actually care
anyone who says "durhrhrh hand checking" just @ believing the propaganda of old school players who want to stay relevant by whining about how hand checking is the only reason jordan didnt average 100 and why steph is any good, and in turn exposing themselves for not even knowing the rule or how its enforced themselves
do research on the rule, and you find since it was outlawed (in 79 i believe) its basically been up to referees to call it or not, and news flash - they pretty much still enforce it the same way now that they did in the 90s. players mostly dont use it as blatantly because of guys like Kobe and KD who popularized the swing through move
But narratives and “Come Fly with Me” !!!!!!!
It's not as if they even had to guard the same amount of space. Blowing rotations when the sport is played virtually inside the paint lol
Not the GOAT - Jabbar is and not even close.
Hey bro seriously you think Jabbar is better than Jordan?
Yes same les 6 MVPs and more unstoppable shot and from HS to pros truly dominated. Not as flashy as Jordan but more valuable
This
Also Finals MVP at age 38
I don't necessarily agree with this, but I won't argue against it because I feel he has a case to be made. More so than Lebron, tbh.
The kind of longevity he had was incredible considering that his era was not as adavanced.
And , 1980's FMVP should have been Kareem's
I just argued with a guy that Kareem is a GOAT-tier-guy and better than Hakeem
That guys even told me Kareem get smoked by every dominant center
I was like WTF...lol
Malone would pulverize him. He was too tall for Malone and we had nobody purposely concocted to play him which was a disastrous miscalculation. Kept shoving him in there, but to absolutely no avail.
Kareem should definitely have won FMVP in 80
Yes Magic had an epic game 6, but what about the first 5 games where Jabbar was obliterating the entire Sixers frontline?
Reporters hated Kareem because he didn’t talk much whereas Magic was super telegenic and media friendly so they voted for the latter
Moses was the only one who bullied him. Kareem held his own against Hakeem in 86 ... oh wait.
Playing against the plumbers union all stars.
Barring a bad back maybe was Bird who was at least equal Jordan head to head?
