I read the Autobiography of Charles Barkley in 1992. I still remember he wrote a piece of paper and asked to deliver it to Bill Laimbeer before this fight game. It wrote: “Dear Bill. Fuc* you. Love Charles.”

When the team you played for meant something

When NBA players foul, you have to watch the replay to see it. Even if you are right on the floor, you usually cannot even tell if a foul was committed. When Laimbeer fouled --- the fan in the top row could see the foul. Laimbeer made sure EVERYONE knew he fouled. That was GREAT.

They stuck with their team through thick and thin, played their asses off every game and every play, instead of just watching an opponent go in for an easy layup since no one is challenging him, and played under rules that made the play much tougher physically. Today players are more concerned with their own stats instead of making sure that everyone on the team contributed their best.

R.I.P Craig Sager

Jorden, Pippen, Barkley and Bird despised the way the Pistons played. It's one thing to play physical, but it's another thing to try to cause a career ending injury to a star player. They all said that the Pistons would stick a foot under a rebounding player to cause him to break, or sprain an ankle. At the center of this was Isiah Thomas, who pushed the big guys into taking cheap shots. This cost Thomas during and after his career and he lost long-time friendships due to the way he would initiate cheap shots.

I tell ya I didn't like the Thug in the game. But man was it Intense, which to a degree actually makes it more exciting. Kinda like how we all watched and rooted for the Sopranos. I guess it's more a indictment on us as Human Beings than it is them. Without us putting up with it(and loving it if it's our guys doing it) than it wouldn't be allowed. Anyway regardless. I think most of us miss those days compared to the softness of today's game. I think Skill game needed to be more part of the league. but not at the total expense of the big boys battling each other inside.

Lambeer was the dirtiest player in NBA history.

I miss real basketball. It is all exactly the same now. Every play, high pick and roll, force the switch. Then stepback and get a 3 or force a double team from the perimeter and hit the open shooter. Or cross up the defense for an alley oop

Boston and Lakers played the right way. .They would get physical with ya and sometimes it would go overboard. But that was by no means part of their strategy. They were "Hey you can do all this stuff, but we still a better basketball team and we just keep our heads more often than not, We gonna beat ya.
