Spurs vs. Grizzlies Series is a Window to the NBA of the Past

Being born in 1992, I have a soft spot for the decade defined by the rise of the internet and peacetime economic expansion. On the basketball court, the 90s ushered in an era of unprecedented commercialization lead by Michael Jordan. The game was slower, more physical, and grittier than it is today.

Whether you think impeccable basketball is more personified by the 90s Knicks or the current Warriors probably depends on your age. Basketball has certainly changed in the last couple decades, as a rough-and-tumble half-court, inside-out game slowly evolved into the more finesse, quick, drive-and-dish contest that we see today.
