It started on TikTok and has now become an open rebellion online, with young fans inflaming NBA discourse who say they were cheated on about '90s basketball.
TikTok user @esquiresports showcased a play from the 1991 NBA Finals. Michael Jordanwith the bulls magic johnson's Lakers suggests that era was overrated. The debate quickly escalated as fans questioned the quality of his past play.
Here's NBA Twitter's reaction to the “'90s are over” trend:
After the 90s, curry will be number one in FS 🤷🏾♂️

So, since apparently the 90s are over, you're calling Steph a top five? 🙂

“So, there I was, just a kid from Akron scrolling through Tik Tok. And they're saying, 'MJ didn't have any left!' We were in the '90s and is over,” and I tend to agree. The marathon continues. ”

I've never been a fan of We Done with the 90's trend going on, but I've seen the footage and it didn't look very good

More proof that we made it through the '90s
This is Game 4 of the 1996 NBA Finals.
All this happened within eight minutes of the game starting.

I really enjoy the 90's “WE DONE WITH THE 90” trend and I've watched the NBA through that era too, but I agree that it was garbage compared to today's players. pic.twitter.com/25nSxzV9u6

Everyone says the 90's are over, but some midfielders from the 1950's and 60's are in the top 75 😭 If you include Corey Brewer in this era.
he would look like a wizard pic.twitter.com/XZV2qQJ8g5— Hoodkage233 (@hoodkage233) March 9, 2024
What's crazy is that no one can show me a single clip from the 80's/90's with a defense like this.
The 90s are over
