First off, there was no Mid 90's Lakers championship team. 87 was the last time before 2000.

Second off, you can't find a guy on those old Laker and Celtic teams that coulden't shoot a 15 footer. Make the bounce pass, play basketball to play ball. It was a team game, alot less isolation, and was very popular. You can argue defense wasen't played them, but you can also argue almost every guy could knock down a 15 footer.

Today's game, while quite different, can be entertaining, but to me, it's very dull, poorly played, and just generally bad basketball. They don't shoot as well, but drive and dish better. Don't play offense as well as a team, but defend better as a team. It's changed with time...

It's faster, and to some better. I just enjoyed watching Bird, Magic and Jordan. To me, that was good basketball.
