Watching this video just reminded me of how soft the NBA currently is. Rule changes have erased a lot of the physical play that produced some of the best basketball in the 80s and early to mid 90s, and with that it seems that real rivalries are on the decline. Teams back then used to HATE each other and it was evident on the court, where as nowadays it seems like all the players are good friends. I'm not saying the league needs more fights but I'd like to see a return to the gritty basketball of years past where it was OK if you hated your opponents...all the more reason to settle it on the court.
Just an observation but enjoy the video, especially Jerry Stackhouse giving Jeff Hornacek a few shots to the face (pause).
