hk brightshadow u rlly think the worst teams today would beat the best teams of the 90's?! U outta ur damn mind smh I would love to see the best of today vs. the best of yesterday that would indeed be very interesting no doubt
Best era in basketball without a doubt. Perfect combination of physicality, skill, and athleticism. You can’t blame the modern players, because they are more skilled and athletic in general, which is expected as the game evolves. The problem is the current nba rules. They have gone way too far not letting men be men. Bring back hand checking and let defense be a thing again. Incredible three point shooters, but it lacks the raw passion that happens when there is a little contact and toughness.
And young people claim the guys during this era weren't skilled. SMH. Having grown up watching NBA basketball from the 90s to now, the skill has dropped, IMO. Everybody just wants to shoot threes and play ISO ball.
@@splashh4633 Simply shooting threes is not skill. Guys can't move without the ball. They don't box out for weak side rebounds. And they don't have any post moves. All the game mostly consists of today is ISO ball and drive and kick for three. I've seen players literally be wide open for a lay-up in the paint, and they're solely focused on passing it out for a three, which is lower percentage. It's why this year's playoffs have been so boring, as most every game is a blowout because a team just hits threes.
@@pomerlain8924 you do understand scoring from farther away from the basket is a much better skill than taking a layup, boxing out isn’t a skill btw bro 😂 please learn evolution. There’s 70 dudes in the league rn who would smoke 99% of the competition in the 70,80,90 maybe even the early 2000s comp. You don’t understand how good modern training and medicine is
not if you rooted against him.. im a knicks fan from back then.. and while he is the greatest, i still hate his guts and would tell him exactly that if I ever had the chance to meet. I hate you, even IF you are the greatest..
I will forever say the 90s was the best nba era ever. But with that nostalgia, I regret that those Pacer teams didn't play in another era. Cause I'm convinced they would have gotten at least one if not for St Michael and the bulls. Viva la 90$ nba!!
As a David Robinson fan, this was painful. For what it's worth, he has plenty of highlights of his own, and did much more than just get faked-out by Hakeem or pushed around by Shaq.
Basketball in the 90s without zone defense and all this help defense was soooo much more entertaining. If you couldn't defend, you didn't play. Now, if you can shoot, you make $90,000,000, even if you can't gaurd a lawn chair
In Jordan's last game and 6th title to close out Utah the bulls scored 87 points (and Mike had 45 of those point's)he got the steal and in that same posession he hit the game winning "title winning" shot....damn
back when the NBA was sand & blood... now we leave the era of money, Instagram, tattoo and that bullshit... globalization and and equality... Those guys back were playing for the adrenaline!!! now they play for likes...
@Logical-thinker there’s more scorers in the league today that’s why. Players are playing more seasons Lebron has been playing for so long mj retired and aged fast not like lebron
Which ones? The red and yellows? Or the navy blue with the thick silver stripes and the cartoon rocket? I was feeling those for a few years but the red and yellow Rockets jerseys def aged better lol
Iverson's highlight against MJ was the beginning of NBA guards being able to carry the ball on the crossover. Jordan didn't get beat. He just went up against a player that exploited the new rules. It is still in the NBA today. Jus watch Kyrie, Trey, and Fox.
Great compilation but Iwoild have liked to see more dunks. Some Grant Hill and Kevin Garnett dunks come to mind right away. Maybe you ought to do a 90s dunk compilation. Great compilation nonetheless.
That's what i call basketball.These are fantastic games.Even i was born in 1991 i have huge respect for Jordan,Barkley,Ewing and all the others.Jordan is my favorite and the best NBA player of all time.Today's games: "Oh you can't touch me i'm made of glass" or "I must score so back of".They've turn one of the best sports into game for women.Give it back old NBA not this "baby shower party".Live the 90's!!!!
No totaly this game has no point.They gave Harden 228 mils for what ? To have free way to score whenever he wants.Man with these rules today everybody can play basketball.Come on lets have a ball not lets have a doll.Kids can play manlier then these guys.Give the game old species and food will be delicious.
I don't think it has anything to do with cowardice but rather two things - 1) There's that "5-second back-to-the-basket" rule which has significantly changed the post up game and add in modern defensive sets 2) the evolution of 7-footers being able to hit from the perimeter and that's just basic math: 3pts > 2pts. Work smarter, not harder =)
akU c TATZ no, you're wrong. Shaq was not unstoppable center in 90s at all. Remember when Dennis Rodman did lockdown defense against Shaq in their matches when Dennis chose to switch to be a Center position to stop Shaq from scored. So Shaq was not unstoppable Center in 90s at all. Dennis could stop him and the other greatest center player in 90s too like, Scottie Pippen, and Hakeem Olajuwon.
akU c TATZ.. do you remember the rockets sweeping shaq and the magic in the finals? Yes that would be one of the greatest centers of all time Hakeem Olajuwon.. Dont forget him.
My top 10 players 👌❤ 1: Michael Jordan 2: Scottie Pippen 3: Jason Williams 4: Kobe Bryant 5: Iverson 6: Ron Harper 7: Dennis Rodman 8: Manu Ginobli 9: Drazen Petrovic 10: Shawn Livingstone

@@vipethewipe4290 just because the game today mostly includes or fancy moves and all that type of shit doesn't mean it's way better than the game before bruh even defense in today's games be lacking
@@pointbreak747it’s easy to play defense when players can’t shoot 3s and when you can just sit under the rim with no 5 second violation, your actually delusional if you don’t think basketball has evolved , players are way better then they were back then because of basic evolution of having better equipment and research to make athletes preform better
The uniforms in the 90s from all sports were fire
>the 90s were fire
Like some of the logos, Houston rockets logo inin the 80s and 90s were awesome now it sucks
everything about the NBA in the 90's was fire, doesnt look like we will ever see a greater era in basketball.
I thought they were ugly af. I never liked the aesthetics of the 90s. But if younger people like them that's fine.
Yes
The Kemp stuff after the dunk, would be like 300 technical fouls today.
In the PUSSYFIED NBA.
Yep
Facts
So nostalgic, 90's NBA lives forever
I feel so honored that I could watch many of these live on tv.
Goddamn Hakeem was a beast. They don't make centers like they used to.
Kendrick Perkins

bart2823 I know

duron bryant he was joking hopefully
That Jordan shot on Byron Russell still me the chills. That Jordan guy is a BADD MAN
I honestly don't know how Shawn Kemp didn't get into a fight every game.
I was never able to actually watch him but I can tell he is one savage
shawn kemp was strong as shit no one wanted to fight that man
Rodman wasn't scared of anyone, and he could back it up. That man was 90% muscle.
He kinda overdid the celebrations after his dunks
Nothing Much Malone and Robinson would fold Kemp
90's basketball was so explosive, more teams, everyone playing like it was there last game
3:35 has always been my all time favorite NBA play! MJ breaks about 3 defenders and dunks on the 4th for the and 1.
best era of NBA
But basketball is about shooting 3s from logo, 90s basketball is outdated and every 90s team would be beaten by the team nowadays

They took out trash talking if you trash talk is a technical foul
Oh stfu you couldn't breathe on jordan
dadillonful Pistons and Knicks punished Jordan physically. How old are you?
Thomas Sankara Have you seen and heard of bad boys pistons and knicks? They punished Jordan physically in the 80s and 90s.
Why do y’all want nba players to be fighting instead of playing anyway
The NBA will never be this great again.
The dunk of Kevin Johnson over Hakeem is one of my favorite in game dunk ever, Hakeem has never been humiliated like that!😁
I miss the old "40 games in 30 nights" on TNT/TBS during the playoffs. The rivalries were fantastic, as was recreating them playing NBA Jam.
Respect to Mutombo and Mourning they were never afraid to get posterized 😃✌
Never afraid what other people thinks. Thats a true men.
The 90’s is the only era where basketball was the best ever!🏀🏆✊🏽
I can't stand the NBA of today, but I'd be damned I could watch 90s NBA 10 times over again.

Thanks! I had the pleasure of watching many of his games until 5 or 6am without getting tired...
It was a great era of basketball.
Lol
Love how it shows David Robinson laughing on the bench, then back to back clips of him getting dunked on viciously
That moment when Iverson crossed Jordan and hit that jumpshot in his face ...
I think the league actually fined him for that
+Christian Regalado LMAO, are you serious?
+bart2823 no, he's joking. he's referring to how people dickride jordan, people probably got mad.

Jesus, can some people really get like that? Iverson even admitted once that even though he crossed Jordan, Jordan nearly blocked him anyway.

Ahhh! The 90s; no boring 3s! Real men slugging it out night after night. When highlights were real!
There better be john Stockton sends the Utah jazz to the NBA finals!
This simply does not exist in todays NBA…not even close. This was truly the Golden Era.
Every team had cool jerseys in the 90s
Such an advance high level of competition from all the teams in those times when defense was defense and offense was offense.
80% of Shaqs game was committing an offensive foul lol
Back then, no. Nowadays, it would've been.
I miss these days of real basketball. Real competition. Real heart. We will never have this again smh…not with these new generation weaklings
As a David Robinson fan, this was painful. For what it's worth, he has plenty of highlights of his own, and did much more than just get faked-out by Hakeem or pushed around by Shaq.
Shaq and Hakeem are one of the greatest centers, and Robinson is on my favorites pf all the time, great memories.

The only way to take a ring in 90s is to beat jordan and his absence.
And a migraine for Pippen.
And LeBron is still the best?😂. Jordan is the reason most hall of fame players from the 90s are ringless
@@jknumber5138 amen to that
mj retired 4 years in 90s...if he didnt its a full decade of rings and 10 years of dynasty
Cabrera highly doubt that he barely won the last chip they were falling apart. And he had a decent chance of losing to Hakeem
80s-90s NBA was a golden era. Wish they would fix the rules to bring back this level of excitement / star-power / personalities.

My favorite play ever is the very first one that Kemp does
0:49 Watch poetry of a fast break of the GOAT and GOAT back up player. One dribble that’s it. Next thing you know it’s a dunk! Peak of NBA #90’s!
Basketball in the 90s without zone defense and all this help defense was soooo much more entertaining. If you couldn't defend, you didn't play. Now, if you can shoot, you make $90,000,000, even if you can't gaurd a lawn chair
Almost every team got one or two superstars in it making the rivalry between teams so exciting to watch. Boy , i miss the old nba！
Now its all about getting a powerhouse team.
Best basketball ever played was in the 90’s hands down 🙌🏾
Nothing like the good old school 90s
