What's funny is you constantly hear how better skilled new players are and to some degree that's true on a technical level but that only goes so far. The shear endurance and drive to win these players had combined with how they'd surely adapt to the modern playstyle would be a serious wakeup call. At the end of the day it's the motivation and drive to get the job done that makes all the difference. Hell, that's one of the main reasons Rodman was so key despite appearing to lack fundamental skills that fans today would laugh at. That guy gave 120% every game, risking bodily injury for loose balls and rebounds most players wouldn't even bother going for. You won't find that mindset on a stat sheet but it can make all the difference when it comes down to the line.

​@JJFX- well there's a difference between shooting around in a gym or practice and actually producing with this relentless defense on you. Moreover, 90s players were less skilled overall but that was because defensive specialists were needed. If you were good enough to lock down jordan or shaq, nobody gave a fuck if you only put up 10 ppg. Jordan or shaq would be averaging 50 in this era while opposing teams would be held under 100 because they would slow the pace and control the game.

Actually today's NBA games is more like street ball game rather than a true basketball game. If you want a true basketball game on today's era go watch Euroleague Basketball or NBL from Australia or Japan B-League instead.

I played AAU high-school through college early 2000s...What we're seeing in the NBA today is literally AAU/YMCA style ball. In terms of effort and endurance between that style and the "real" game of old there is a MASSIVE jump in conditioning required. To play an average college game back then 30+ minutes required about three months straight of hellish conditioning drills. Two a day practices finished with lengthy sprints until you felt like puking was normal followed by weight training. My resting heart rate mid-season was 37. ANY sort of dogging in practice on defense was immediately singled out. One lazy close out/rotation and the coaches would stop the entire practice to shame the shit out of you. Sprints...But not for you. For everyone else. Do it during a game and you're on the bench immediately. Keep doing it, you're off the team. Happened to our best scorer mid season..Film sessions dissecting every single move you made...this was the norm everywhere. Nevermind the extra wear and tear that puts on the body. AOH is 100%...these dudes today would be ran out of the gym inside of five minutes

Wow…. You’re are spot on with your critique. I played AAU starting in late 1992 thru early 96. The conditioning by itself was agonizing. You’d be hard pressed to find a player in the league today who’s played 70 or more games in a season more than twice. Look at Joel Embiid, for example…. The most games he’s ever played in a season is 68. If you count his first two seasons in the league, 2014-15, and 2015-16, which he didn’t play because of injury, he averages 43 games played a season. If you take out those first two seasons, he’s averaging 54 games a season. A “superstar”, by today’s standards, who’s never played a complete season….. enough said.

Yeah, between the refs, entitled players, and lack of effort, the NBA is destroying itself.

gotta love nostalgia. Lebron, Curry, KD, Giannis, Luka and Jokic will all most likely finish their careers as top 20-25 players of all time. Along with young players like Shai, ant and Haliburton that could make it if they have playoff success like a couple rings which isn't that far fetched. You talk about who's guarding shaq, ok fair, who's guarding Jokic, downlow shaq can handle him, but Jokic can run offense up top too, shaq, as good as he is isn't a good perimeter defender. A lineup of luka, lebron, kd, giannis and jokic is just as difficult to guard as a lineup of stockton, mj, wilkens, robinson and shaq.

@@nflwatcher2281 A lot these guys are putting up numbers that are inflated because they are shooting literally 8-10x the amount of three pointers that players did in the 80s and around 4x the amount that they did in the 90s. And no, it's not that suddenly everyone has learned how to shoot, despite the explosion in 3s 3 point % hasn't exploded. Teams averaged around 34% from deep in the 90s and that has gone up to around 35-36% today. It's simply an explosion in volume, and the style of play, the way the rules are enforced, etc... it's leading to some seriously inflated scoring, rebounding and assist numbers. The lane is so wide open today, a guy like Giannis who really am not sure is any better than Barkley or David Robinson, puts up massive numbers. I have much more faith the elite players from the late 80s and 90s could fit in to the current game than vice versa. Steph for a large part of his career wasn't even considered an elite player. It wasn't until 3pt shooting startet to baloon to over 25attempts per game that he started to become a star. Steph didn't "change" the game, he was the beneficieary of a trend towards 3pt shooting that started in the late 80s and never stopped. Imagine Reggie, or Bird, or even Mark Price if they played in a league where close to half of all shots were 3pt attempts, extrapolate their numbers and they would be ridiculous, Reggie and Price would both perennially be in the 25-30 ppg range, and Bird would be putting up AT LEAST Doncic like numbers in the NBA today, with infinitely better defense.

We've gone from highly skilled, fundamentally sound athletes competing to win an All-star Game to a glorified layup line.

Well besides the off season Blood doping he went to Germany for in his knee.

Youre spot on. And I always say the reason teams today get away with shooting reckless 3s these days is defenses are too low bball IQ and lazy to make teams pay on long misses. I was watching the gm 4 of 97 finals where Stockton made MJ and the Bulls pay big time on a long MJ jumper with a full court pass to Malone for a bucket that put the Bulls away in crunch time. And that was off a long MJ shot that wasnt reckless. I cant imagine what that Jazz team would do to a reckless shooting team. Frankly teams today wouldnt be a able to play with cerebral teams like the Jazz. Hornecak was damn good. And Stockton imo is the greatest PG to ever play. He's just so heady, and unassumingly physical. Anyone trying to downplay Stockton is clueless when it comes to bball.

If it wasn't for the Nuggets, or some of these younger teams who still have the passion to prove themselves, I would have no reason to watch the NBA anymore. Which is sad. Growing up during the 90's in Indiana as a Pacers fan and just seeing how quickly the league has devolved is disheartening. The game is such a watered down version of what he once was. And worst of all, I don't see any actual way it gets marginally better. There are way too many factors as to why its a worse version of what it used to be, that it would be nearly impossible to turn it around.

Heard you talk about doing this video in another video so I went and watched the 1993 All-Star Game and in 5 minutes of play time I was blown away. They were playing harder in an All-Star Game than in the last playoff game I watched 4 or 5 years ago. The opening minutes of that All-Star game reminded me of why I loathe what the NBA has become.

Imagine letting a 90s alpha superstar that's been suspended in cryostasis into the NBA today's NBA like Stallone in Demolition Man movie. LOL The outcome would be about the same. Complete carnage.

After watching this video a 2nd time bc this is gold. It had me thinking these rebound numbers today are inflated. I rarely see box outs or guys crashing the boards. There’s no battling like in the past.

1 minute in and these plumbers would dominate any team today. Plumbers?? Those unathletic plumbers who are all veiny and shit. Why are they all more ripped than most players today?

93 game is my personal favorite. They truly went out there and played defense in that game. I invite anyone watch the highlights of that game. Look at the hustle Mark Price displayed to foul Tim Hardaway, who ended up making one FT which lead to the east tying the game and going into overtime. You don't see hustle like that in a regular season game today

Back then, not only did you have players on the East All-Star team that did not like players on the West All-Star team, many of them didn't even like their fellow All-Star teammates.

Insightful analysis. Especially the cardio part.

The play at minute 10:17, Jordan trips and avoids traveling... Those were fundamentals.

You made a very good and important point that a lot of people probably missed, especially younger people who watch the game today and believe Lebron is the strongest player ever in the NBA. Honestly, i knew something was wrong with the NBA the year Carmelo, Wade, and Lebron were drafted. All of them were young but, they had what i call the "soft body". Meaning, they had no muscle definition so you could tell they didn't do a lot of cardio work nor had a lot of endurance. Wade out of the three probably had the best endurance. A lot of players today are built for show, a lot of the players from the 80's and 90's were built for go. Most of the players from the 80's and 90's looked like strong swimmers, all of them were tall, strong, and ripped. Examples of the best in shape NBA players from the 80's and 90's would be Kemp, Pippen, Jordan, David Robinson, Clyde Drexler, Adrian Dantley, etc. They had an insane amount of endurance and speed and like you said, someone like Shawn Kemp dunking with the ferocity he had, would certainly break the arm of the NBA players of today.

Another reminder, Shawn Kemp was blasted frequently for NOT being in-shape (and then famously showed up 35 lbs overweight in 99, but that was just the tail end of a long battle with eating his way out of the league). That's how stacked the 80s and 90s were. Kemp on his worst day in '99 was probably in better shape still than Zion on his best day since coming to the NBA.

They hustle way more, play way harder in the 1st quarter of an all star game in the 90s than players do in the 4th quarter of a regular season game in 2024.

MJ and all the other great players played their hearts out in the all star games, knowing they are about go into the 2nd half of the season and a championship is up for grabs. They didn't cry, complain or give excuses, they just played. LeBron James weak era be like: that game don't matter or count, i don't wanna risk my body. 🚩 Translation: F@CK THE FAN$.

Yeah I think the 'We don't wit da 90s' has it ass backwards...I think the 90s was the most difficult era. You have guys drafted in the 90s who dominated the 00s who couldn't do anything during the 90s themselves. The Kobe/Shaq Lakers were getting swept by an old Jazz team. Bruce Bowen for example was drafted in 93 and couldn't even make it in the league. He only started having success in the 00-01 season at the age of 29. Teams like the Heat, Knicks, Pacers and Bulls would absolutely abuse the lack of effort and physicality - and heart - of modern NBA teams.

Great video. Excellent points made and shown. This stuff is so glaringly obvious in these clips it's hard for me to understand how an argument to the contrary can be made. I appreciate you uploading the entire game. It was a good one.

YEA THEY F'EDUP THE BEAUTIFUL GAME

8:18 "as we get tired, the game will speed up a little." - MJ People who don't understand basketball will not understand this statement.

On point as always. Thanks dude. You could at some point do a video of the late 2000s. How the game was played back then for example. Since 90s are long gone. But pre 3 point era was also solid. When Kobe won in 09 and 10. For example Lakers and Boston. Defense was good there. And the other day 2011 finals video was good. Even then the game was way better than today. They actually called Lebrons double dribbles. Also you could do the 04 finals. In game 3 pistons held the Lakers at 68. Do like finals every 5-10 years so we can compare the game, and pinpoint when exactly did it all went down the toilet.

When I read "posterized" in 2024 I wonder if the defender is at least less than 3 feet away. 😅😂

Back in the day, players were hitting the gym every day, therefore were actually stronger and didn't have to deal with injuries every now and then

Man Jordan moves so quick and calculated. Still haven't seen anyone else play like that.

Dudes wasn’t about to get embarrassed in the past, they had dignity

Been saying this for the past few years. The NBA is essentially REC BALL. It's a glorified free shootaround. It's what kids did during Gym period in going to the 3 point line and seeing how many they could make in a row. Of course people could shoot 3s back then but you had specialists who shot them like Reggie Miller, Glenn Rice, Mark Price, and Chuck Person. You actually had position basketball where now everyone plays like a two 2guard and stands out on the perimeter.

I'm so glad you showed the difference in muscle its not even close Giannis is probably the only one

Even if the modern players had more muscles, they sure don't have the balls of players in the past.

That 1993 all-star game was great, competitive until the very end. 1990 is my favourite. The entire Dream Team except Laettner was selected, although Malone didn't play but 'Nique, Zeke, Dream, Worthy and KJ were there. It was high-scoring but not boring!

Great job, man. Really made me miss the 90's. I think your on point about the athleticism. Definitely not plumbers and firefighters on that court.

This is refreshing asl to watch

Great video. Absolutely the golden age. Sadly we’ll never see again unless there are major changes starting at the top

Out of all the old NBA superstars, I think Shaq would be the one averaging like 40... his stat line would be like 42 and 15 with 3 blocks.

If he were used correctly. The analytics nerds would have him rebound and set picks for shooters all game.

I think he could have averaged 40 and 15 with the lakers if stayed in shape like he is here and improved as a free throw shooter. Even though he was dominant, he was always fighting minor injuries and the extra weight didnt really help. The free throws often made him a liability at the end of games too. Shaq himself has said that he felt he only reached 70% of his potential and I think he's right

I don't think he would do 40. 35/14/4 blocks. Easy and steady

Exactly! And what pisses me off is trying to explain this to people. And I share your videos and try to get my boys to see the truth, and they just refuse man.

AOH thank you Sir. I forgot how intense those 90s Allstar games were. That’s when Allstar MVP actually meant something.

It's so refreshing to see real basketball played the why it was designed🙏🤔

This 1993 all star game has more intense, offense and defense as much as all teams in all games this season combined. They are so hyped up against each other to the level of insane And then you have the 2024 all star game 🤣🤣🤣 This era SUCKS BIG TIME

These videos rule! Thanks for making ‘em!

thank you for these videos!

Exactly. When I used to play a lot of basketball, eventually when we would get tired we would just jack up 3s. The style of play that you see in the modern NBA is how we play when we are exhausted.

Point guards used to call out the plays with hand signals as they cross half court. With everyone chucking up 3's, does that even happen in today's game anymore?

Dude ❤️ the channel. Realy made me kinda go back and look at alot of things. One of the best channels on youtube.

Totally agree with you. Players in the 90's were juiced to be stronger, and to compete at high level on defense. Players today are getting juiced just to walk up and down the court.

That was very informative thank you. Wow I’ve never thought of this. Excellent points

Thanks AOH for putting a video out that captures this obvious truth. They were bigger, stronger and in better shape in the 80's and 90's. Today's NBA players are playing against Tik Tokers, Hulu pitch men & podcasters.

great video and analysis. those points really can't be argued against

If they want to generate interest in today's NBA all-star game, replay any all-star game from the 90s on Jumbotron and make the modern players sit and watch it. Fans would enjoy it more. Lebron can even wear his hat. He's used to watching from the bench.
