Channing Frye: “Nostalgia is killing the NBA. The ‘90s weren’t that great”

Doesn’t make sense because every sport has nostalgia. Why isn’t nostalgia killing soccer or the NFL? The answer is obvious - because people root for teams instead of players so your interest doesn’t wane when your favorite is gone.

So are gonna act like the NFL isn’t filled with nostalgia too? shyt I remember the mid 2000’s people talking about how soft it was compared to the 80’s and 90’s.
Say it louder for dem folks in the back.
Nah every league is filled with nostalgic fans its just NBA players are entitled brats. To an extent so is the MLB which explains why there has been such a dramatic decrease in both those leagues standings on the Big 4 list of American sports

Oh it’s nostalgia? Not these terrible sports media guys like Frye?
The media has spent more time this season talking about Bronny James than Cade Cunningham, maybe that’s the reason. These people are failing to get people excited about the game and blaming it on nostalgia. I didn’t give a fukk about nostalgia during the 2000s, was more interested in the game. People are simply not interested in this product.

The NFL has nostalgia but the media and ex players still celebrate the present and don't put down the game.
The NBA has a major issue with narrative. They have legends constantly degrading the players/product like their words won't eventually infect the mind of the audience.
The quality of NFL coverage is far superior. They put guys like Ryan Clark, Foxworth, Swagu, and Jason Kelce on TV. They can show personality and speak on the X's and O's. Meanwhile the NBA will put Shaq on TNT to be a buffoon. SAS is an NBA guy and we know his schtick. ESPN hired Perk.
I don't agree with Channing saying the NBA is going back to teams over players. That's not happening when we've had around 40 years of pushing players.
Spoken like a true sucker. Bringing up Kobe wasn’t necessary, bringing up MJ retiring wasn’t necessary. He could’ve used other points to not sound like a sucker. The comparisons of eras comes from BOTH sides, not just the old heads.
