Any fan who says they are glad the NBA cleaned up the rough play is a damn liar. Rough play is what we grow up with on the playgrounds.

I'm glad they cleaned it up. The playground is not the same as playing with Refs. Playing with refs can allow one side to play dirty while the other has their hands tied behind their back until a full blown fight breaks out. You can manipulate this to favor one side.

1:18--ironically, Jim Cleamons, the Bulls assistant coach who had that confrontation with Patrick Ewing, himself had a scuffle with Celtic head coach Tom Heinsohn in the 1976 ECF when Cleamons played for the Cavaliers.

i miss the NBA being played like 5 man Football during the 80's and 90's. Now all we have is Draymond Green's wandering feet hittting other player's testes when he goes up for a rebound. LOL.

I personally never considered the fighting as a part of the game. IMO if you can't stop your opponent with legitimate defense, beating him up is just an admission you don't belong on the court with him. You can't win without cheating. And cheating is exactly what it is b/c those tactics are illegal and require no skill. The game stops when those things happen.

Maurice Lucas had a fight with Darryl Dawkins in the 1977 NBA Finals' Game2 (Lucas played for the Blazers and Dawkins for Phila)....BTW: in the lines on the 1982 Finals "LAL", referring to the Lakers it's not at all correct (the Clips were still in SD)

Heck, back in the '70s quite often players would throw punches and there would be no technicals.

Hello! I represent the project The History of Russian Rap. We would ask you to give for us agreement for using this materials. Is it possible? What we will need to do for this?

This video is nice but it is still overrates the late 80s and early to mid 90s, for obvious reasons: 1. Shaq was ejected out of the game for hard fouling Kemp at 0:44. Funny how no one sees that as the NBA being soft then. That goes contrary to the argument that folks make about how back then hard fouls were seen as just normal fouls and players were allowed to play on. Yet when a player hard fouls another player and gets ejected in today's game, folks would be screaming, "the NBA is soft". 2. The altercation that happened between Ewing and the Bulls assistant coach at 1:18 was nothing more than words being exchanged, what followed was just players separating other players. Another point to notice was MJ, who was the opponent of the NY Knicks, went to comfort/calm his friend Ewing down on the opposing. So much for "there was no friendship back in the 90s". This is something that, if it happened today, y'all would scream "soft" and swear that it would never happen back then. 3. The foul that Cardwell Jones had on Magic at the rim at 2:24 was a typical foul you would see in today's NBA, its not like Magic was punched, elbowed, or thrown down when going for the layup. the scuffle that followed was nothing more than players dragging other players and pushing, similar to scuffles that you see in today's NBA. 4. The scuffle between the two teams, the Raptors and the Hawks from 4:19 - 4:29, was nothing more than pushing and pushing, nothing else. Then people got separated. Both Camby and Terry got Technical fouls, something that oldheads SWEAR would never happen back then, as they claim incidents like that would result in normal fouls, no techs. 5.The foul that was called on McDaniels at 6:54 that made him angry, was a weak call, something that of called today, people would scream "the NBA is soft". Him showing emotion as he did is something we see Draymond does all the time in today's NBA.NOTHING NEW. 6. The rest of the other clips is basically players fouling other players, and then shoving, pushing and separating. There are no elbows or punches being thrown, no real scraps, just the usual scuffles you see in today's NBA. I can go on and on.... This post is not to disregard the beauty of 80s and 90s basketball. Its just made to point out how oldheads or 90s radicals are so quick to call everything that happens in today's NBA "soft", whereas everything that happened in this video, has happened in today's NBA as well.
