Who thinks pro basketball is slowly returning to old school ball?

Well you see that's impossible. It can't return to old school ball because the moment it does it then becomes new school ball.

I do think it has actually improved a bit the last coupla years after 10-15 years of decline. I actually watched a bit this year.

Slowly, yes. And it would be much needed. As someone posted "all the game is missing is a few more Ray Allens" and a couple of centers who can help balance the way points are scored in between 3's and dunks.

It will take time, because the NBA is full of youngsters who come out early instead of guys who play all four years. Look at the mock draft for this year, they are all freshmen in the top 3, and one is sure to flop(Darko). Instead of becoming a better player, they listen to analyst who say their stocks can get no higher, so they leave and take up space. (Telfair?)

That alone has impacted the way the game has change because the league is younger. When the players let themselves evolve more, so will the game.
well i agree with you since some teams play it the old-fashioned way....these are some teams that play similar to the old teams....

utah jazz %26gt; same old-fashioned pick n roll that were being played by the stockton-malone duo....only now, it's the williams-boozer show....the big reason for this is that they haven't change their coach....

pheonix suns %26gt; their play doesn't look old-fashioned but it is similar to the magic johnson led-showtime lakers....they love running fastbreaks and does it with excellent passing from their point guards....

cleveland cavs %26gt; they play similar to the bulls in the jordan-era....where they rely heavily on their superstar player especially in the closing minutes....then their star players does an amazing performances that goes in the record books as one of the best ever....

detroit pistons %26gt; well the old pistons still doesn't lost their identity as bad boys who bully officials when their call didn't get in their way....they also play though defense as before....

spurs %26gt; they play something like the celtics who doesn't really have much style of play but have chemistry as their main ingredient to success....

most of the teams that don't follow the old-fashioned way and doesn't have an identity are mostly losing teams....
I'm for respecting other players on the court - and IF you are a good enough basketball player then you don't have to resort to dirty cheap shots. It's COWARDLY. A 3 year old can kick somebody or get you in the crotch.
Slowly i guess
I agree with you to an extent. The style of play is returning, thank goodness. If we can only get more pure shooters in the game it would be more old school.
hell no man they are calling cheap fouls, old school basketball is physical its the game what we play on street courts right now
Slowly - maybe? I'll believe it when i see Magic, Larry, Isiah, and company return.
