Kevin Durant Criticizes ’90s Defense: ‘The Paint Was Wide Open’

Durant said that he watches a lot of video from those years, but always thought that it was the lack of calls, rather than a higher physicality that led to this reputation: “I go back and watch a lot of that those ’90s film, that ’90s film, ’80s stuff, and they play physical, but I just think they got away with a lot of flagrant fouls. I think that’s why they call their era more physical than ours because we play physical here, too.”It’s more space, but guys play physical. We got strong, athletic guys here, too. But I watched some of those games. The paint was clear. Nobody was getting touched. It wasn’t a lot of help defense but you did get a lot of flagrant fouls that didn’t result in fines or getting kicked out the game, so it just seemed like, you know, it was a little tougher.”
