I disagree with you. I wasn't talking about talking on the floor. Your point of kids being tougher is correct. These guys were tough as nails. They also knew when to shut-up and act like a young adult. My point was they won a lot of games and were respected and didn't get T'ed every game. Plus there's a big difference in talking during a game and being a smarta$$ on and off the floor.
2/3rds of the players playing today couldn't play on those teams but yet the act like they're twice as good. Can you imagine one of them driving on Joey Couch scoring and then saying something smart or giving him a stare? What would happen the next time this guy took a trip down the lane?
Again, my point was the played hard but weren't buttholes.
