I remember these good old days. I’m born in 90s so this was my era growing up. Back then it was all about Kobe, Iverson, Tmac, Vince, Kidd, Baron, Stevie, Arenas, Nash, Duncan, KG, Dirk, Young Melo, Bron & Wade. What a beautiful time for basketball man I miss it.
@@rellbgm4473 Yeah cause by the time of 1999 I was watching basketball and if you didn’t know most the the names I mentioned careers really took off by 1999/2000 into mid 2000s beyond so what’s your point? I was 5th grade when Bron, Melo them came into the NBA it was a beautiful time for basketball at those times. Are you slow or sumn ?
I mean, there was A LOT of ugly games and the pace was crazy slow at times....but I agree with everything else, the competition and rivalry was on a different level. I still love the NBA but it's a very different league now. I'd take a slow, close grind-it-out game over 50 three-point attempts easily. Back then averaging 20ppg actually meant something.
@@Macabre124 forget prime time of NBA. That prime time of life bro. Things were just so much different then, you could actually be a man in those times
@@harrissr.615 Totally agree. Life was different than and now. I'm in my late 30s. I constantly find myself thinking about so differences in life in all aspects compared to now (clothing, cars, mannerisms, society, sports, music, characteristics of people, lifestyle etc) everytging6
Man, physical, trash talking, elbows, hard defense, hard fouls, slow T-ing refs, big men in the post, superstars/all-stars on multiple teams, and players truly playing for pride; 😌I miss this brand of basketball.
@@fodetoure1576that’s just good defense that’s what the league lacks these days. At least ball was different and each game felt different. Every game these days is the same thing
Highly disagree Every first round series ended in either a sweep or in 5-games. Only the Heat/New Orleans Hornets went further (Heat won in 7 games) 2004 Western Finals was a dud (Lakers/Wolves) And the Finals ended in 5 games and was mostly remembered for the Pistons upset, and the games outside of game 2 were forgettable
Man if you can keep posting videos like this!!!! It’ll be GOLD!!! You showing story line & showing the beef & some of the game & who won! 🔥 I saw it came out two years ago, but I think the timing for it is now!!!💯
Could you imagine having Sprewell, Isiah Rider, Kenyon Martin, Artest and Rasheed on the same team. Would be like 20 technicals and 4 flagrant fouls a game.
Yup it will never come back. MAn smh I grew up during this era and when I watch NBA like last night, although they changed some of the rules including the JAmes harden rules, still it isnt the same and just so soft and feminine
I remember watching those Mavericks in Mexican TV transmission. They were a score machine and soft defending. Usually their games ending with both teams scoring more than 100 points.
Such nostalgia, not just in the NBA but my own personal life, thinking about how old I was, where I went to school, what hiphop songs were hot etc time flies by as I am now 29 years old looking back on this.
I truly miss those days so much The early/med 2000s was the best basketball what a time to be alive. The NBA today is a bunch of weak crybabies that don’t take no pride of defense
This was when the NBA had a bunch of goons who were blessed with height and athletic talent. Players these days seen waaaaay more easy going. That's not a bad thing either.
Oh for sure. I feel like players being more chill nowadays gets unfairly maligned by a lot of older fans. They still are tough, and put in a lot of dedication to the game. Guys like Jokic and Giannis would still thrive if they played in the 2000’s as well.
Damn...i hated Latrell Sprewell at the time... but I soooo miss that guy! That dude could ball, and he was a warrior. Emotional? HECK YAH! Dude played best on emotion. Spree and Kobe had some epic battles in the day, but there was always respect between the 2.
When men could actually play like men, this was the league I grew up watching where players actually cared about winning above everything, fuck this soft era.
@@btone310 Agree. 80s and 90s were more tense and more hardcore while 00s "scuffles" and "altercations" besides the Malace in the Palace were more entertaining. 80s/90s dude just swung on you with no reason or hesitation while 2000s, it wasn't as mercilus
This is why they all try to be 3 point shooters today. That constant physical pounding back then, would have serious consequences into days league. But hey, every generation has a right to play the game the way they see it. But man I absolutely luv this era of NBA and especially the old NFL!
Mike Bibby is that rapper who’s Instagram bio says “child of God” then makes music about killing people and trying to be a gangster. Didn’t he get a big ass cross tattooed on his arm when got traded?
This era was great. You had to earn points and if a player averaged over 25 ppg it was really remarkable. But because of casuals NBA changed the rules and wanted more easy points and almost no defense.
Basketball was so good before I’d tune it to watch all teams as an nba fan. I’d watch bucks vs pacers and it would be worth. The parity, the competition, the passion for the game. Best era for sure from say 2000-2006. Triple headers on NBC !!
The game is so soft nowadays that if you jump off your seat on the sidelines to celebrate your teammates the league will hold a press conference apologizing 😂 and they call Lebron the goat 😅
I was like "is that Jon Barry in the thumbnail going at it with Sprewell? Or is that a fan going at it with Sprewell?" and it was Barry. I never knew he played for Denver with rookie Melo. His only season with Denver

what the NBA doesn't realize is scoring is more fun to watch when you have to earn the points
Exactly
Preach
This when basketball was exciting to watch !! You can even hear it in the noise of the crowd ! 80’s baby so I saw the best era live !!
Me too. The 80s was lit!!!
Yea I agree this and the Detroit bad boys that's where I grew up
If you think 80s basketball was the best you trippin, what’s more exciting then seeing players like Kwame Brown in the 2000s play
Nba was best when it was on nbc
90s were better 🍻

Yep man what a time
How you remember the good old days and you were born in the ,90's 🤣😂 you were an infant. How you remember any if this?
You forgot shaq, pierce, ray allen, jermaine oneal, and if anybody still remembers michael redd

a controlled pace is real basketball. Chucking up shots and playing fast no matter what isn't basketball@@Ivander85
When the league was grown men 😂😂
And now consists of boys and clowns. 😊
Back before the advent of the 35 foot three pointer.
Latrell Sprewell, a man who once turned down a $30 million contract cause he said he has kids to feed.
A $30 million contract is still more than enough to feed the kids and then some even in this day and age.
No one ever blamed Latrell for being too smart thats for sure
And he never got another offer of any kind in NBA again
@@aquilla303The league messed up. He could play and was a 2 way player
@@matthewgabbard6415 true but the league stayed rich, meanwhile he had to sell his cars and boats

2000s in general was an awesome decade (outside of the recession and 9/11)
Simpler times and way better entertainment.
@@Macabre124 don’t forget MTV was fire as well 🔥🔥 jacksss, mtv cribs, mannn you name it
2004 was a pretty heated year, I think it was the last whey protein year before the NBA went soy.
Well the next year is when the brawl happened

Imagine Curry trying to do his ballerina dances after he hits a 3 in this era
OhHhH ThIs eRA....it's 2004 man
@@diegomata3624 17 years ago could be considered a different era 🤷♂️
Curry would get laid out on the next possession, lol.
Curry wouldn’t even be allowed to play the way he plays in this era.
The coaches then would bench you for taking 30 footers.
You have to be fair though. If Curry came up in this era he would probably be tougher.
The 2004 NBA Playoffs were so good in every round and each conference.
Teams with 45 points halfway through the 3rd quarters. Inefficient basketball. Boring offense
@@fodetoure1576that’s just good defense that’s what the league lacks these days. At least ball was different and each game felt different. Every game these days is the same thing

That was cool of Sam Cassell to recognize he was a lil outta line.
I can watch these clips all day. Miss this era
Me too man more 2000’s heated vids in my pinned comment
Amen to that
That energy was different when the loose uniforms was in style
Bring back those players and i would watch them in standard definition even today
I would too.
Love this era of the NBA especially that 04 Wolves squad
I fuckin hated the wolves and spurs always knocking the nuggets out first round
Not a wolves fan but these jerseys were the best by far.
In fact jerseys were so much better back then. Baggier, looser and cooler.
Look at the intensity back then compared to today. Even the fans were more intense.
More tester one in the general populous
Could you imagine having Sprewell, Isiah Rider, Kenyon Martin, Artest and Rasheed on the same team. Would be like 20 technicals and 4 flagrant fouls a game.
I remember Robert Parish knocked out Bill Laimbeer in a game, and the game continued on, with Robert Parish for the next game.
@@GisherJohn24 Parish was an O.G.
I remember when MJ tried to punk him but Chief put him in his place. 😂
@@yvans.No one punks Chief.
They had Portland Jail blazers, that was close enough with Rasheed, Bonzi Wells, Zack Randolph, Ruben Patternson, Dame Stoudamire, Woods etc.
@@yvans. didn't parish win rings before he got to chi? And he knew what Jordan was doin
Ok anybody named Latrell is going to be crazy 😂😂😂😂😂
As a Mavs fan, those early 00's games against the Kings were always fun, I don't know why those two teams had so much beef 🤣🤣🤣
True lol I remember being in middle school and just screaming everytime Dallas would beat my kings 😂😂 oh man to be a kid again
God I loved watching Latrell Sprewell play
I’m a knicks fan. I loved his play. He never choked either. Unless it was his coach. Different story.
The league has evolved into cupcake city. This was near the end of the basketball we grew up playing and watching.
Exactly I miss those bad boy pistons they played it right lol 😆
@@jerrybeloin4985 They were tough and had one of best point guards ever. Other great talents as well.
@@agentallstar7 I agree they had a great run till Jordan figured it out
Latrell "I can't live on $14 million a year " Sprewell.

I've never seen any of these rare clips before, thanks for uploading bro!
No problem man check out my pinned comment for more
Latrell Sprewell had a beautiful game. It was like water! What a time! High school days
Yeah these were my high-school days too. I remember almost everyone wearing headbands and high socks when we played basketball. 😂
Damn that 2004 Mavs team was stacked
Ah man, those Kings/Mavs series!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Denver vs Timberwolves foi foda heim....
This was a real man's game not this bs nba today
That Maverick team with Nash was 🔥🔥
I remember watching those Mavericks in Mexican TV transmission. They were a score machine and soft defending. Usually their games ending with both teams scoring more than 100 points.
Yup i remember that MAvs team. All 5 of them were scoring machines
Word up!!! WE need more of heated moments
Such nostalgia, not just in the NBA but my own personal life, thinking about how old I was, where I went to school, what hiphop songs were hot etc time flies by as I am now 29 years old looking back on this.
Youngster
I truly miss those days so much
The early/med 2000s was the best basketball what a time to be alive.
The NBA today is a bunch of weak crybabies that don’t take no pride of defense
Forgot how dope Latrell was…
Awesome how Barry called sprewell a mother fucker and told him to fuck off and sprew did nothing, LMAO
He was a choke artist though… get it?
Amazing video! Continue the great work!
Good video man this a real gud video and it's lengthy too
Thanks and look at my pinned comment for more rare 2000’s heated moments
People really don’t understand how much of a Goat player Sprewell was
Crazy 6:00 seeing KG on Bench during playoff game there.
11:34 lol love how you added that 😂
From this era to whiny Westbrook in a dress.
It turns u on doesn’t it?
I wish i was around for this era
Just some classic solid basketball in every series especially yao ming vs shaq
no flopping , pure defense , exciting to watch . miss this era
You can thank Count Dracula himself, Adam Silver.
Crazy how back then we thought this was hd. Now lookin at this it looks vintage. Lol. Good times in 04.
Yall forgot about how my man Sprewell had the game in a choke hold. Classic!
this is the league we've missed for! ❤️
Damn that Dallas team had prime Mike Finley, Nash, A Jamison, Dirk, and Josh Howard. Forgot about that team.
And Walker
I loved this lol 😂
Appreciate this footage 🍿 Classic Content!! can u find Sprewell’s first game against the Knicks when he went back to the garden w the Wolves???
I stopped doing nba content man but I have one of my best street ball videos dropping tomorrow morning
Basketball will neverrrrr be like this ever again the feeling the hard engery the toughness its was gritty back then wow time changes things
💯
6:32 "HOLLA" 😂😂
This was when the NBA had a bunch of goons who were blessed with height and athletic talent.

Man I miss so much the trash talk. That Pacers fight took a toll on the freedom of speech on the court :D
Mike bibby lmao. Dude is wild
What a time to be alive
That Denver vs. Minnesota series was great.
Pops up on my recommended
But of course I’ll watch this
Back when basketball was fun to watch. The 90’s and the early 2000’s were the best eras for basketball
2004 was the year detroit reigned supreme!
Hell yes!
Man i forgot all about the NBA 04 playoffs intense.

Got damn, basketball was great back then... that Wolves team STILL my favorite. Monster squad.
I think the 00s has the most entertaining fights imo like 80s and 90s their fights was bc a dude rather swing to stop a layup than play defense
There weren't that many fights after the 90s. 80s and 90s were more tense and more hardcore than the 2000s and up

its sad that SpreeWell is broke. such a dynamic tallent
Damn I miss watching Latrell Sprewell 😂😂😂
Man, I miss 90s and 2000s hoops.
If you’ve ever had the opportunity to be around Sam Cassell, that charming, ugly ass smile is no myth. Bro makes the whole room gravitate to him.
