The NBA According to Lakers Legend James Worthy
Posted Jun 25, 2020
James Worthy played in a different NBA. Fouls were harder. The game was inside the paint. It was physical and mean. And then the game evolved. “They've been forced into a softer game,” Worthy says of the modern NBA aesthetic. It’s quick. It’s high-scoring. It’s long-range. It’s a frantic ballet, beautiful but missing the bludgeoning of the 1980s and '90s.
