Ryan Russilo spoke about basketball in the 80s and 90s. Someone posts one clip of a Pistons hard foul and everyone pretends it happened on every possession of every game from 1978 to 1996.
But it was just a really bad foul and that`s how we viewed it at the time.
Guys are bigger and faster these days. They constantly clash in confrontations without the ball. The game is very contact. But people on television pretend that this is not so.
If you watch any of Boston`s playoff games in the 1980s, as soon as the ball crosses the center line, everyone stops. They do not cover the players with the ball in the transition from defense to attack, they allow them to calmly take positions for attack.
Watch half an hour of matches mentioned by sport-tips from that time and you will see everything. It`s hysterically funny how different real basketball of that time is from how it is described now, " the observer reasoned.
It`s much more difficult to play basketball now, " Bill Simmons agreed.
