“Pure thuggery” might be a bit strong, but it was damn near unwatchable. That was some boring basketball in the 1990s. The most entertaining thing about a Knicks-Heat game in that era was wondering what part of Alonzo Mourning Jeff Van Gundy would hang off next.

Loved the Maxwell quote about crossing the street. What a great analogy. Thanks, Roland. Always love your stuff.

This should be required reading for the Lakers’ current roster.

I think the characterizing the 90’s Knicks as “pure thuggery” is unfair. They played within the context of what the NBA allowed at the time. We could follow this line of logic and call George Mikan’s contributions tainted because of the lack of a 3 second rule or the same for Wilt because of the not yet widened lane. I think the fans of succesful 90’s teams (Bulls,Knicks,Pacers,Jazz,Sonics,Pistons,Heat) might remember that era as “intense” or “physical”. Which is to say that perhaps if Lazenby’s Lakers were any good during that era he might have a different take.
