Toughness of today's NBA game has been a hot subject for quite some years now and many players of today's generation has been deemed soft or floppers, so they say.

That idea has been reinforced by returning LA Lakers forward Metta World Peace as he weighed in on the subject. He agreed that today's NBA players are generally soft as their family has become too overprotective that they cry foul whenever their kids are close to a physical play.

"I remember I came into the NBA in 1999, the game was a little bit more rough," World Piece said via Yahoo Sports. "The game now is more for kids. It's not really a man's game anymore," World Peace said. "The parents are really protective of their children. They cry to their AAU coaches. They cry to the refs, 'That's a foul. That's a foul.'"

World Peace said that the family should rather stay home and leave their sons alone during games.

"Sometimes I wish those parents would just stay home, don't come to the game, and now translated, these same AAU kids whose parents came to the game, 'That's a foul.' These kids are in the NBA. So now we have a problem. You've got a bunch of babies professionally around the world."

World Peace further stated that today's NBA is no longer a man's game.

"It's no longer a man's game," he said. "It's a baby's game. There's softies everywhere. Everybody's soft. Nobody's hard no more. So, you just deal with it, you adjust and that's it."

Meanwhile, he talked about young forward Julius Randle, who he believes has an immense potential.

"His ceiling is as high as destiny. We don't know because he's only 19. I don't want to predict the future because so many great things are going to happen from now until he's like 30."
