I quit watching after the Bird/Magic era. Lost interest watching the Bulls dominate and then when all defense went out the window and the flopping started I would rather watch lawn darts.This may be the worst take on the NBA I've ever seen. Magic and Bird created low-scoring thug ball? You evidently never saw the crazy scores in mid-80's NBA, especially from the Lakers. Sure the league was physical, but it was DETROIT that created the thug-foul style starting in the early to mid-80's (when they added Laimbeer in '82 and Mahorn in '85), not Magic and Bird.
I still prefer that style of ball over the garbage we see now. I can't watch the current NBA.
