    I understand that Rodman was absolutely the guy that the bulls needed and I'd possibly would consider him as MVP but Rodman on any other team is not an MVP, not for the pistons and not for the spurs. I understand Rodman on the bulls is a different beast but all the same MJ is MVP. Rodman is hard to replace but not as hard as it is to replace MJ. The thing is Rodman is so good at his position that he basically takes up 2 positions of PF and C but MJ is so good that he takes up PG, SG, and SF. Rodman is great but without MJ they lose and without Rodman they still possibly win. Like if you take out Rodman and insert Hakeem then you win but if you take out MJ and replace with Penny or Grant Hill then it's not a guarantee but still a likely possibility. Grant Hill is probably the most MJ at the time but he was a baby. No disrespect with the baby remark, he was just new and inexperienced compared to MJ. Mitch Richmond would probably be a better replacement but does anyone think either would be enough? Wherever you send MJ will be a finals contender IMO. Not the same with Rodman. I respect the acknowledgement though.

    The NBA of the 1990’s may be overrated in some regards as far as a talent pool goes. But there is one thing that isn’t criticized here that that generation should be praised for after the last few years: The presentation of the league through the NBA on NBC in the 90’s was much better than the way the finals are covered now. Even the ABC of the 2000’s did a better job than they have lately.

    yes its not the 90s anymore.. seems like the youg kids are the ones stuck on this.. the old heads are just saying it was better before. thats not a fact and its not false either. ratings have been the lowest in the last 5 years, with 2020 being the LOWEST EVER.. the 90s had the HIGHEST ratings EVER.. the highest period of ratings for the NBA was from 1982 to 2001. since 2001 not ONE year has had higher ratings than the LOWEST YEAR from 1982 to 1 2001.. you guys talk about how good todays NBA is but nobody is watching. you guys just catch the highlights.

    To be fair, 01-02 was the last season where the bulk of the playoffs was on network television, and most programs are lucky to be able to replicate the ratings they put up in the 90’s or even 2000’s now with how fractured media consumption tendencies are. Not saying that it automatically makes the current generation better, but if you go off of raw ratings with no adjustments, you’ll sell more recent shows and broadcasts short.

    @@soramirez5473If you want to go by that, then I could see why you would say a greater share of NBA fans consumed whole games in the 90’s as opposed to now. But part of it might also be the general evolution of the average attention span. If people’s attention spans were as short as they are now in the 1990’s, then more people would probably have watched SportsCenter highlights like people watch KZread clips or other social media feeds now. Either way, the way people approach the league has certainly changed.

The teams he referred to as good but with inflated records (Sonics, Suns with Barkley, Heat, Spurs, and I’ll throw in the Jazz who are shown at the end of the segment): How good should those teams be considered for what they were, and how many games do you think they could have won in an average league?

    "NBA has 70% ownership of the WNBA." This is the ONLY REASON why the WNBA is still alive today. NBA is losing a lot of money to keep the WNBA business alive despite WNBA being a losing business. 22 years in a row and losing millions each year, and these WNBA players have the audacity to get infront of the national television and complain about not being paid enough. Aren't these ladies thought of basic economy before they get to suit up a jersey and dribble a ball?

    Your video is disingenuous…there were only a few teams that played bully ball as you describe! By your logic if all they were all committing flagrant fouls, then there should have been more scoring from fouls shots and shooting technical fouls! The game was more physical and harder to score overall because you took less three and there were more players penetrating to the basket into legit shoot blockers something you don’t have today!
