They didn't play defense in the 1998 All-Star game, either.
The whole game is on Youtube

No wonder Jordan went to the finals so much.
The East sucked.

Old days? In my stuck in the past head, those are the “new logos” for the wolves and the pistons.

I miss the even older days. The crossover of eras is tremendous here. Dr J representing the ABA/NBA merger and the 70's and the birth of the game going above the rim, Bird, the other Celtics' and Moses with the halcion days of the early to mid 80's, Thomas and Lambier the thug, lockdown defense era of the late 80's, and of course Jordan and the dynasty of the 90's. Hell, you even have Michael Ray Richardson, who was on his way to a hall of fame career before becoming the poster child for the drug addled early '80s.
By far, the biggest distinction between these eras and those of today is the post player. Players like Parrish and Malone would be an afterthought. It is strange to say, but a player like Lambier would likely thrive today as he was by far the best shooting center in the league at the time.
And an NBA where Bill Lambier is more valuable than Moses Malone is why we have threads like this 2-3 times a week.
