paul silas and dee brown: the league is lacking leaders

The NBA is as contrived as "professional" wrestling. Nothing about it
is real anymore. It is now just one big show that caters to the
wrestling fan

A lot of it has to do with the individual players. Players in today's game are not geared for winning. They aren't geared for a team concept. They're basically trying to get into the game and they have no knowledge as to what the game is really about.
i guess scottie is just a hater...

Was listening to "The Fan" (WFAN) the other night and
Tony Paige bought up a good point....He mentioned that
you'll rarely see players sweat anymore. And he's correct
There are players flopping all over the place. And you will
see the occassional hustle play. But on the whole, you
will not see a sustained effort over the entire game like
you did 10 years ago.
I go back then and you'll remember seeing Patrick Ewing
and Charles Oakley sweating bullets. Big men like Hakeem
or Rodman where all OVER the court. And NObody sweated
more than Jordan
But it just don't exist today. One of the reason, I believe,
is because of all these asinine rule changes.

You just don't see players give that kind of effort anymore
I know everybody likes AI, but calling him a "warrior" is
sort of a joke to me. Warriors don't cry to officials and they
don't run themselves out of the defense by gambling
I can't think of ONE player who gave like PE or Oak Tree
Like Hakeem or Otis Thorpe. Don't know, maybe the
stadiums are more air conditioned....

Is there any "big" man who falls down more than Dirk Nitwitski??
But why is the only time he seems to "lose his balance" when he
has the ball?? So reminiscent of Karl Malone
Only these days have 7 foot jump shooting faggots been allowed
this many FTs. At least Karl posted up occasionally
btw, anybody seen "The Warrior"lately??
anybody seen the Marcus Camby commercial?
Where he talks about "they say I'm injury
prone" like it's a lie?? How many games has HE
played this year
