1980- era sport

          The playing level in the NBA is different in the 1980's from now because they played a lot more animated in the 80's. The player played with a lot more enthusiasm when dunking and made watching the game more interesting. Today player play more of a serious game and it doesn't seem to be as exciting as back then. Now they play don't go so much for the play that looks cool when doing it but do the play that will get them the points. This makes watching a boring at points but it is exciting when games are close. As for the uniforms the shorts were much shorter and they also wore knee high socks. Basketball players today wear looser shorts and shirts with lower socks and more likely than not with Nike shoes instead of converse.
