Check mate.
Arbitrary video clips of one (1) game don't define an entire era/decade AND it most certainly doesn't refute what the current NBA Commissioner, current VP of Ops and several current players/coaches said about today's NBA/Defense being soft and weak.

I noticed that you (among others) repeatedly avoid addressing their words.

Wonder why?

:noidea:
This was literally your hero’s highest scoring game. Watch the video! The defense and reffing is as soft as it gets. :lol:
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

Love the pillow fight.
FWIFW it took the NBA 15 years to grasp the 3 point shot. It took another ten years to start what it is today, maybe longer. Dont care. Chicken of the egg. Evalution of the 3 point shot in the NBA, or the evalution of the 3 point shot in college. Or was the final acts, the Evalution of the 3 point shot in High School.


Now, back to the pillow fight.

More like 1.2%, for the record.
99% similar if we are rounding.

Kinda. It depends specifically on certain measurement issues.

And of course there are human beings like Artman that share 100 percent match with pig DNA, so there's that.

Cleveland was actually pretty soft on Defense back then... aside from Nance and Hot Rod, who would make guys like LeBron cry today. In fact, I used to call them the Cleveland Marshmallows back in the day because they were nowhere near as physical as teams like Detroit, NY, etc. Still, those Cavs would EASILY be the best Defensive team in the NBA today.

PS... I saw the game in full as it happened, no need to watch isolated, cherry-picked videos. Not every second of every game of every season was full of tough, physical, hard-nosed Defense back in the late 80's - early 00's... that would be like you claiming every 3-point shooter today is Steph Curry. But overall, to a man/game/season the league was vastly more physical back then than it is today... and it's not even close.

...and you don't have to believe me, just ask Commissioner Silver, VP of Ops Dumars, the Best Defensive Player today (Gobert), current coaches (Kerr, Rivers, etc), and other current players (Luka, Trae Young, etc). They'll tell you how soft and weak today's Defense is, only you refuse to talk about it.

Wonder why?

"Today's NBA is soft, the Defense is weak, and the rules 'really' favor the Offense."

"Lebron doesn’t guard for a full game and our game plan was to get him to play defense and he left me open all game."

Dodging it again. This isn’t cherry picked. This is literally Jordan’s highest scoring game….and it shows every make he had. It’s a great video….and it shows you everything you need to see.
