Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1734616, member: 40"] Agree to disagree. The 90s players were athletic as hell, too. It isn't accurate to paint them otherwise. Were the physical players? Sure. There are today, too--plenty of them [see: Randolph, Zach]. And there are fringe guys from the 90s who wouldn't be able to make it in today's game, just like there are fringe guys today who wouldn't make it in the 90s. I'd be willing to bet that if we took the entire NBA from the 90s and magically transplanted them to today, that 95% or more of those guys would be able to make teams today if the roster numbers somehow worked out. Maybe more. I'm not sure that your example of system fit extrapolates to the rules. Those eras weren't defined only by the way games were officiated. But at the end of the day, just a difference of opinion and certainly not worth arguing. [/QUOTE]
