Detroit Pistons Bill Laimbeer
Bill Laimbeer, one of the original Detroit Pistons 'Bad Boys,' who played for the team from 1982-1993, isn't a big fan of the NBA these days.
"I am probably the wrong guy to ask 'cause as time goes by, I don't really pay attention to the NBA anymore," he told ESPN, according to BasketballNetwork.net.
"The league has changed so much. Everybody says that we were in the golden age and I agree with that. The game is different, and it's one-on-one, two-on-two; it's not so much of a five-on-five team basketball game, which I find kind of boring at times. I pay my attention to the sport, WNBA, and keep on going."
Damien Peters of BasketballNetwork.net writes:
When reading between the lines, Bill said what every long-standing fan feels, and that's that, more often than not, the playing style adopted by the current generation is unwatchable.
Truth is, some don't like the way three pointers have changed the dynamics of the game or that it's not as physical as it used to be when the Bad Boys played.
