Seeing Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman and Shaquille O’Neal play in the same game is a real treat to look at. So grateful and happy I saw this era of NBA growing up.
@@adewaleibraheem3974 They get to literally drop equipment and fight in hockey...yet you're mentioning NBA players as acting like "thugs". Fights happen in all full contact sports, It's unavoidable, even today.
@@adewaleibraheem3974 Well aware that it's NBA, which is why I mentioned hockey where actual thuggery takes place, not here. Fights were and still far and few between. There is no penalty box in the NBA, and yes, now I'm satisfied.
It was a Man's game back in the day. I really love the finesse type of style that they play today but the old style really made everything personal. Rivalries were brutal the passion was obvious and at least for me it made it more meaningful.
good stuff. lol, those knick and piston teams were tough tough teams, and it always seemed the bulls had to go thru them. a piston - knick series was war... so many great names, love seeing these old clips, shaq and penny with the magic, the davis boys indianapolis, alonzo, larry johnson, karl malone, rodman, antione carr, barkley, mason, oakley, laimbeer, salley, these guys were enforcers, you're talking in the range of 6' 8"- 6-10" 240- 260lbs, john starks got called for more b.s. stuff than anyone i ever saw.
There were real rivalries in the past bec the NBA rules back then allowed players to play fiercely and physical on both ends of the floor. More than allowing handchecking and tolerating hard fouls, the rules back then gave offensive and defensive players equal opportunity to do what they had to within the rules of the game. On offense, players could dip the shoulders and use an off-arm to protect the ball as long as you don't extend your off-arm. Example, watch clips of Shaq-Mutombo in the Finals or Shaq-Zo or Shaq-Rodman games. Players were allowed to set solid picks as long as they didn't move. On defense, players were given the chance to defend their spot and use their arms and legs as long as you didn't grab, hold or trip your opponent. A bit like meshing soccer rules with basketball.
They have some pretty abysmal uniforms now, thanks to Nike and their putting 200 different uniforms on each team, so you can't even tell which teams are in a given game.
@Derek Lowe With Charles Oakley as second option🤣. You must know a lot of SGs averaging 48% for 37ppg in their 3RD season. Next season he went 53% for 35ppg🤣. Great arguments, bro✌🤦♂️
@@morecowbell235 He made 12 3s the whole season, nowhere near 1-2 per game. He made 13/27 2pt shots per game, which is insane for a 3rd year SG, and that's how you draw fouls, by being an unstoppable offensive force.
Back then, not only do you have to have skills, but you have to handle your own as well. You have to really get hit to get a call. Ain't no going to daddy refs.
Yeah, Jordan always broke the hearts of us Knick fans but the truth is Bulls vs Knicks was the championship series. They were the 2 best teams in the NBA in those days
Listening to Isiah Thompson, I played Chicago west side ball with some of these guys, they had the same attitude back in eighth grade, The rule was .. No harm ,No Foul !
These games were so very much fun to watch and the parties as we did were incredible in those days Pizza and Beer.........I no longer drink ...almost 15 years but those championship games and even the playoffs and regular seasons were untouchable!
MO Lucas turned the whole series around with the scary square off with Dawkins. DD nailed his own teammate D Collins because he was scared of Luke and started swinging at shadows.
“Wahhhhhh!!!! Back in my day, everyone was so much tougher and I’m such a macho guy I like shaming other human beings by calling them derogatory terms to convey my bias unproven points!”
"That's playoff basketball right there", nowadays you can get called for a flagrant foul for doing that or even get ejected, or worse, suspended for game.
What an exciting title for a video! Old school NBA moments, especially the heated ones, are always thrilling to watch. It's fascinating to revisit the intense rivalries and passionate gameplay from past eras. These moments often remind us of how much emotion and dedication players bring to the court. The history of the NBA is so rich and filled with incredible stories of perseverance and competition. It must be a real treat for basketball enthusiasts to get a glimpse of these rare moments and relive some of the most unforgettable times in sports history! 🏀✨
Back when the NBA had balls and players didn't cry!!! Damn I miss physical basketball!! NBA nowadays is too soft and bunch of flopping and crying... Dats why I don't watch basketball like dat!!🤦🏿♂️
This was the era of basketball I grew up with. I remember enjoying it and I like watching these videos but .... maybe fans of the game today have a point. This stuff was brutal. The outside shooting was terrible. The inside game was violent as hell.
I agree. The older generation enjoyed it but if you wanna watch fights you could just watch fighting sports. People watch you play and especially kids and I don't want them to think that you can fight your opponents in a bball game. But it's just me
Outside shooting was terrible because the offensive player didn`t have every advantage on the defensive player in terms of how the rules were tilted and its the same thing today just in reverse. There`s zero post or low block game also because of the way the rules have changed and given such a big advantage to perimeter players. Entire skill sets have been lost and the game has gotten easier to play as a perimeter player. If a bit sad watching today`s game and seeing entire phase of the game just not being played.
@Insane Ioe I actually played the game professionally for 11 seasons. The problem here is that you watch basketball but you don`t fully understand what you are watching. Dribble, pass, shoot. That`s all you see and that`s all you understand...
Somebody was once telling Bill Walton that he couldn't be tough enough because he didn't eat meat. Walton observed that Maurice Lucas didn't eat meat. End of that conversation.

The nba rivalry back then is way better than today’s game
Way less talent
@@DonnellKaneless talent more competitive now games like 130-150 are common
@@999triple4 you’re right
Glory era of the NBA. Not only were these players skilled, they were menacing, tough AND the league allowed them to play physical.
no shit...and i don't ever remember seeing anyone flop back then like they do now...
Crap basketball
But the media were crying like bitches. A testament to why today the game is so soft today.
@@joejackson9986u haven’t watched very much cuz Rodman was the flopper of all time
It was a weak, unskilled and untalented era, so they had to compensate with BS physicality.
When basketball was SERIOUS..REAL RIVALRY
The teams, personalities and rivalries from these days I really miss.
Man the NBA was fun to watch in the 90s. This LeBron era sucks compared to then

Those East teams in the 90s really destroyed each other just to lose to MJ in the ECF lol
Good times
Funny but true lolz
Larry Bird sweep Jordan twice hehehe
Easy when you have the refs protecting you like they did to Jordan
The Bulls, you mean. Jordan was scoring in the 80s and still getting beaten every year until Scotty and the boys.
70s and 80s ball was the last time I got excited to watch the NBA. Makes being as old as I am almost worthwhile
I'm with you...days gone by. I'm glad I grew up during those times. It's hard to adjust to today's way of things
70's NBA was awful
Lots of all-stars and hall of famers during that time 😊☝️
@@AnthonyRobinson-dc3pq70 people in the keague
@@Shockkings0714 what all the great Hall of famers and all stars going against each other every day and night 😃☝️
Maurice Lucas was one of the best of the old school enforcers .
John Starks played with pure heart and spirit
Tom Chambers got in a fight many times in his rookie year. He had to prove himself under the basket, a really scary place in 1980.
I know he had several with Maurice Lucas.
It was a Man's game back in the day. I really love the finesse type of style that they play today but the old style really made everything personal. Rivalries were brutal the passion was obvious and at least for me it made it more meaningful.
The ONLY thing I might have an issue with, during those days, were the excessive flagrant fouls, which at times, were dangerous.
Most of these guys don't have the skills that players have today so they smacked each other around and threw elbows and fists.
It's still a man's game.
@@MrBogus213 they showed so many all time greats and top players of their ERAS in this video.
Shawn Kemp was one of the toughest power forwards in the NBA, ever. Guy was a brute, even Rodman had trouble with him.
Rodman was a SF turned undersized PF late in his career. Of course he'd have trouble with prime Kemp, who could also shoot the midrange very very good
He so tough he got with a charge for assault with a firearm
Not to mention Anthony Mason
@@WolfHunner but before you knew you didn't know which makes your troll argument irrelevant.

That Dawkins/Lucas standoff was epic.
For real! They squared up like they was at local park. 😆😆

The 90s knicks were tough as nails. Ask Michael
They sure were but Michael had some of his best game against them too 😂😂😂😂
They always lost and they nba tough guys foh
And the pistons 🏀😬
Starks was such a headache and annoying af. But I'm very disappointed the NBA hasn't inducted him to the hall of fame. He deserves it.
Knicks might have been tough, but the Pistons, Bulls, Heat were even tougher and better in the 90's.
RIP Maurice Lucas. No. 20 will always be remembered
The players for todays game would be playing summer league as back ups in this time era.
I agree.. flopping and crying for fouls is not allowed back then
This is when basketball was real
Those were the days!
such happy memories - thank you
15:11 Magic was a classy guy... it was funny seeing him so worked up during his comeback especially since he was NOT fouled there lol.

NBA had some daaaaaaaaaaaark years with some of these logo/jersey designs. Daaaaaaaaaark years indeed.
They have some pretty abysmal uniforms now, thanks to Nike and their putting 200 different uniforms on each team, so you can't even tell which teams are in a given game.
this is cool..Ive met Derrick Coleman and Corliss Willamson...both big guys both tough as nails...never knew they fought
You don't push ZO around and get away with it.
NBA Ole Skool Highlights are more entertaining and action packed than New Skool’s
actual live games 🤦♂️.
That's the point of a highlight...
The best basketball era 1985-1998.
Excellent video quality 😆
😄 I love the phrase "A few unkind words"
The NBA was like boxing back in the day.
0:54 When basketball was so much more physical a player can literally wear a face shield like a helmet lol.
I love how "He went for the ball" meant clothes lining, hooking, or elbowing the sh!t out of someon😅😅😅
I was in the house in Orlando when Scotty Skiles got into the scrap with Kendall Gill 🤣
Kendall Gill is a boxer you don't want to scrap with.😊
Bully ball at it's 👌 best. You buy a ticket for a fight and a damn hoop game breaks out.
Maurice Lucas vs Darryl Dawkins, mayhap two the the strongest dudes in NBA history.
2 men boxing during a basketball match in the middle of court. Americans: This is great basketball
Perfect thing to watch before dinner.
Miss this basketball
"We're done with the 90s!"
The 90s:
“That’s playoff basketball right there “ 😂
i miss those old 90s Knicks teams
MJ averaged 37 points with almost no 3 pointers in one season of this era , let that sink in
Uh….he wasn’t a very good 3pt shooter?

@@golfmaniac007 When he decided it was needed to practice 3s, he was. He shot 40% on 3.4 3PA per game in the 96 playoffs.
He was shooting the rock 24-31 times a game his first 6 years in the league. Didn't get him to an NBA finals, though.

@14:00 MJ fouls the crap out of dude and even the announcers say good block lmfao
This was the real tough and tumble brand of basketball. Today's game is a ballet. I won't be surprise if I see tutus and ballet shoes one day. 😉
This isn’t even tough fr half of this vid was bullshit calls
Yeah, Jordan always broke the hearts of us Knick fans but the truth is Bulls vs Knicks was the championship series. They were the 2 best teams in the NBA in those days

hi there hpw much is the thickness of the vinyl you are using?
MO Lucas turned the whole series around with the scary square off with Dawkins. DD nailed his own teammate D Collins because he was scared of Luke and started swinging at shadows.
You're exactly right. And had that happened these days, Lucas would've been suspended and the Blazers probably get swept.
This is really just a Bill Lambier highlight reel 😂😮
The dweeb at 13:51 is killing me 😂💀😂
ah the days when you could defend the lane. basketball needs to go back to this.
If todays NBA played the old school NBA they will all lose their virginity.
I'm sorry but did Karl Malone absolutely knock out David Robinson with a elbow???
Sure did.
Yep. And to this day, the name Karl Malone is still a curse word in San Antonio.
Ahh,the good old days ,when real men played basketball, not the little princesses we have in the NBA now.
