Oh yeah, they can actually shoot, they have a concept of what it means to pass the ball, there's defense (of course with the shooting percentage in today's game I can see why nobody bothers to play defense). The NBA needs a lot of help.

I remember back then it was considered a great defensive accomplishment to hold a team under 100 points.

Remember when Bill Russell used to block a shot under the basket, and DID NOT swat it away with venom, but merely blocked it to one of his team mates?

Nah, you're too young (maybe).

It was a beautiful thing!!! No selfish crap with Bill Russell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill Russell is God.
