Are you honestly believing that "back in your day" nba players didn't hang out with their buddies just because your old ass didn't have Twitter and social media? You are loony, BR. Absolutely looney.

Magic wanted Bird to like him and Bird couldn't fucking stand anyone on an opposing team...and especially Magic. That commercial was the beginning of tolerance as Larry insisted it be on his grounds and Magic had to go to his farm in Indiana....Magic's charm won over Bird's mother.

Bird respected Magic more than anyone but he hated him and every opponent, especially on the floor.

Side note....Bad Boy teammate Isaiah Thomas and Magic used to kiss each other on the neck/cheek before games.

the Dream Team. You didn't see players joking around after a loss back then and hugging players from the other team right after they beat you.

Yeah, NBA is soft today tho, bc BR said so despite evidence to the contrary.

Commander of Awesome;1771229 wrote:You don't see that today either. Did you watch the Cavs Celtics game last week? The teams don't like each other. But I guess since LBJ and Wade are boys they're soft?



BR, I didn't realize you have forgotten more basketball than I've watched. You know lotz about sportz. If BR says players today are wimps, he's right guises. He obviously watches lotz of games. Doesn't matter than the biggest guy back in the day weighed 240 lbs and didn't look like they knew what a weight was. They were tougher! No way LBJ could even try and play in 80s, NBA was just too tough. I agree, Seth Curry should be told that under the hoop ain't open. If he tried that shit in the 80s, Bol would have told him that lane ain't open.

Oh, wait:

Cavs played poorly in the 2nd half, and I hated Blatt's rotations in the 2nd half, but I'll give them a couple weeks to figure things out.
