Isiah Thomas Shares Derek Fisher’s ‘WWF To WWE’ Analogy Regarding The Changing Of The NBA

Derek Fisher has gone viral with his latest comments concerning the NBAs change over the years.

During a podcast appearance, Fisher strangely compared the same to the WWFs change to WWE, an analogy that many reacted to.

One such personality who seemingly agreed with the five-time champs peculiar take was Isiah Thomas.

The older era of the NBA is widely regarded as much more physical than the current generation.

Fisher used a WWF to WWE comparison while agreeing with the same narrative.

According to the former player-turned-coach, just like the WWE, the modern NBA was also focused more on being entertainment.

Whereas, the WWF era of the league had a higher competitive value.

He further mentioned, Like we, in previous generations, it was designed as though it was a battle, a war, gladiator, so to speak.

And it doesnt mean the guys now arent tough, theyre soft.

Thomas , who is a huge advocate of the previous generation of the league, seemed to be content with Fishers comparison.

IT used his Instagram Stories to share this take.

The leader of the Bad Boys Pistons has been vocal when comparing the different generations of the NBA.

Hes often expressed his admiration for current players.

But, for obvious reasons, it seems as though Thomas believes that the players previously were more dominant.

On multiple occasions before Thomas has chimed in on the old NBA v.

new NBA debate and supported the former for being more physical, having better rivalries, and better defense being played, among others.

Thomas believes that the current NBA doesnt have rivalries as bitter as they were in the past The NBA has had many more rivalries in the older generations than in recent history.

While it may seem as though the players across the league have a great bond, Isiah Thomas once explained how this might not be great for the game.

Yes, Thomas isnt inaccurate when claiming that the league had more rivalries earlier.

Rivalries such as the Pistons-Bulls, the Celtics-Lakers, the Lakers-Pistons, and others, made the league more exciting to watch.

However, these rivalries would extend beyond the hardwood.

Despite being retired for more than two or three decades, players are still feuding with each other.

Friendlier rivalries of the current era such as the Warriors-Cavaliers, the Mavericks-Suns, the Celtics-Bucks, and others, are just as exciting to witness.

Fortunately, players dont even hold any grudges against others beyond the basketball court.

While fans like Thomas might be missing the older rivalries, Adam Silver seems to have done a decent job of keeping the league united and maintaining peace..
