Maybe free agency affected this generations long standing rivalries.
IIRC the west was 3 team top heavy during the Bulls run... Similar to how it is now
Obviously the Bulls vs Knicks were awesome back then. The kings vs Lakers vs spurs vs suns vs mavs in the early 2000's were awesome also.

There were periods though in the 90's where the NBA stepped in to promote the free flow you speak of. Stern pretty much turned the NBA's back on the Detroit bad boys style of play. Riley's Knicks were slugfests, fratellos cavs specialized in slowing the game down, and the NBA instituted the 5 second back down rule when Jordan retired

I've felt they've always fudged the numbers to avoid embarrassing situations after they started accepting votes from Chinese fans so this is another way they can manipulate the vote with an excuse. Overall, I'm glad that they are starting to realize how fan voting isn't such a great idea
i never said all the time.
like Olajuwon having to be doubled almost every play

The Rockets were a bust. They gave Pip that huge contract and had high expectations heading into the season. Barkley was one of the big reasons the 5 second rule was instituted. Pippen even complained/hated the offense because he was being forced to be a spot up shooter with Barkley and the dream hogging the touches. A hall of famer, named In the 50 greatest players, played with Jordan... Calling the iso post offense crappy. Just saying haha
I've been following the NBA since the 90's also. What gives lol . This isn't a pissinG contest
I didn't say anything about TD
