It was futuristic and you could literally blow people up on the court. The game took place in the year 2030. Bill Laimbeer had become commissioner of a basketball league, fired the referees and created a style of play without rules and shoving was encouraged. There were no fouls and the use of weapons was perfectly legal. It was actually pretty fun at the time haha!! gino2paulus2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine Curry or Durant winning a shoving match with Rodman, Akeem, Laimbeer, etc. And if those 80s teams had to play by modern rules they would all foul out by the half. Also the lesser training/conditioning make me think a run and gun offense would wear out a lot of those older guys even in their prime. gino2paulus2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very valid point -- also, we gotta remember, many of the Old Guard were frequently on booze or drugs or both. No superstar today in his right mind would risk that kind of lifestyle, for reasons of performance and image.

Aman619 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I don't think the old teams could beat the best teams of today. These guys are far more athletic. And they have absorbed ALL the best moves of ALL previous players who were so special in their day. The moderns teams guys are (nearly) all like Jordan's, making moves that very few could do twenty years ago, let alone 30 or more. time marches on. It's like Doomsdays origin (in a small way!) time has honed today's kids os they are making moves they've have seen on TV and improved them. heres a better example-- extreme sports. Used to be you could to a flip in the air and make people ooh and ahhh. Now you have to do a triple with rotations and twists and let go of whatever you were jumping with just to be average.

Unfortunately, my Predators couldn't stretch it to a seventh game. You wouldn't believe how electric the city of Nashville has been ever since the sweep of the Blackhawks. It has been a wild ride.
