Lets get back to real NBA bball: 1993 Bulls-Knicks Game 2

I think all the neck tats just scare old white folks, they automatically think inmate when they see neck tats.


I watch the NBA more than ever these days, although i still long for watching the 90s matchups even Otis Thorpe trying to guard Shawn Kemp.

You're right about the stereotyping thing, but it's still silly. People who do that can fuck off for all I care. I have plenty of tats, sometimes I wear cornrows and I'm definitely not the "smiling, acceptable negro" type. If folks can't deal, that's their problem. We don't need each other's approval in order to be ourselves.

Sprewell strangled his coach. Iverson maimed by mob. These guys weren't exactly the victims of stereotyping.

People can argue all they want, but this was the golden age of the NBA.

Charasmatic players, intriguing matchups, heated rivalries, great games, five distinguishable positions (as opposed to playing your best four guys plus a PG) and the John Tesh NBA on NBC theme song.
