Kevin Durant doesn’t necessarily agree with claims that the NBA in the 1980s and ’90s was more physical than today’s game.
The ‘80s and ‘90s, in particular, were filled with much more noted physical play – especially for teams like the Bad Boy-era Pistons, who gained notoriety over their aggressive style of play.Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
Kevin Durant expressed his thoughts on the NBA in the 1980s and ’90s during a recent podcast episode.Joe Dumars, the NBA’s head of basketball operations and a former member of the Bad Boy-era Pistons,that the game has evolved since the ‘80s and ‘90s, saying there is much more pace involved. “The floor is more spread, probably a lot more cutting. All of those things are factual. I don’t think there’s any argument to that,” Dumars said. “What it does to the body, I presume, it probably stresses the body as much as anything. I don’t see how someone could argue against that.”
Durant, in particular, has watched the game evolve since he joined the league in 2007, with on-ball defenders getting less of a chance to be more physical with ballhandlers over the past decade through a slew of new rules. He agreed with the idea that the floor is more spread in today’s game but still rejected the notion the game was more physical back in the old days.Share this article:
