Exclamation For All the NBA Haters......

I was just watching the ESPN 30 for 30 episode which The Knicks (of Patrick Ewing) vs The Pacers (of Reggie Miller).....and what we are seeing now, physicality, is gentle in some ways to what happened back then. Brutal.

"You aren't coming down the lane. If we didn't block the shot, we took you out." Some nasty footage......Smitts, Oakley, Starks, man oh man. Fights, head-locks, ejections, even a head Butt (Starks to Miller).

Ole school? LA and Boston, Detroit and Chicago

In some ways, what we're seeing now maybe tame I guess.....

Different times, different eras, different players, different rules I imagine......different memory? For me, it was eye opening to see what I had somewhat forgotten.
