I feel like if you were born in the 80's at any point(maybe up until 90), you have a different view of life by this point than say a millenial.

You've seen more stuff in this world than someone who was in diapers when 9/11 happened or wasnt even born during the OJ trial.

So by the same token, if you missed most of JOrdans career and even early Kobe, then you're opinion on the NBA is just different. You also missed the big man era.

You came in post-Malice in the Palace and it's just not the same nba

It goes both ways. These old dudes don't open up their mouths to say anything positive about younger players, and it was the same for the players before them.
:dahell: Do ya'll just choose to ignore MJ bigging up Bron and Kobe? Hell Chuck and Shaq was giving Draymond mad props for being a good player. Magic Johnson said Bron might be the GOAT. Like stop with the fake news.

The old generation always on some back in my day shyt, they don't respect young players either.

It's the same thing in hip-hop for example Lil Yachty vs. Joe Budden really you see it in all aspects of life in general how much flack do "milennials" get from the older generation.

:russell:
Why should someone with actual talent like joe budden respect lil yachty?

These old heads need to stop hating man. Quit trying to justify being bitter with it being about respect.

The disrespect if any is definitely 2 way cause older guys dis younger players non stop

Which is funny because with all the data and archival footage we have some of their more ludicrous claims get blown to smithereens

Not many people are aware, but every generation of the NBA had superior athletes than the previous generations and the current generation always shytted on the previous eras "lack of superior athletes"

In 30-40 years, I promise you people will be shytting on LeBron's contemporaries. That's just the way it goes.

Pretty much there is just any array of outlets in social media age
Gives the older generation during the 90s/MJ era the type of media coverage we have now and see what happens vice versa....Baron is on that bs....
