Players stayed with their teams for much of their careers, and fans could really bond with their teams.
There were REAL rivalries, many with bad blood. LA-Boston, Boston-Detroit, Detroit-Chicago, Indiana-NY, and the list goes on.
There were stars (Magic, Bird, Jordan, Barkley, Drexler, Stockton and Malone, Worthy, etc.) . There were interesting role players with personalities (Laimbeer, Rodman, Manute Bol), even huge stiffs that sucked but were part of the fabric (Paul Mokeski, Shawn Bradley.)
It was a great time to be an NBA fan.
