The NBA is a ***** league now and simply doesn't have the same flavor and pizazz it once did. It's not even because the Knicks have sucked. The sport has changed. The lame fouls, everything. The league went SOFT.

I'll tell you, the Ewing finger roll miss just hurts to watch till this day. What's worse is watching Ewing discuss it. It's clear it still eats at him. He was almost ready to cry discussing that play.

blame it on players entering the league at age 17-19 instead of 21-22.

Couldn't agree more dude.
