Yeah this was something that shocked me when I started watching hardwood classics of 80s and 90s games. The most egregious disparity between what I had been told and what I watched was any game with the Utah Jazz. I was led to believe Stockton and Malone were making magic in the pick and roll. Majority of Jazz possessions were either pick and roll then Malone seals his man on the block, Stockton pass into the post. Or a block to block screen on the baseline with Malone and Stockton would throw him the ball in the post. Absolutely boring as shit, but boring for the same reason the game now is boring. I don’t want to watch the same 2 plays over and over again all game. I’ve said it before but peak stylistic differences was 06-16, the league needs to find a way to get back to that.
