Why didn’t he spend this time talking about current players? Talk about the guys that came AFTER Bron, Curry, etc. there’s some current guys killing right now. Talk about them. Lebron is 40… curry is almost 40. Elevate the current players now.

One day y'all goofy ass nikkas will stop using absolute best teams to speak for that entire era
Mediocre teams didn't even get exposure outside of their local market back then so it's easier for you to claim everybody was so unique because you only6 saw the godd teams.
In today's game, Memphis plays totally different from anybdy in the league for example. The problem is y'all are too stuck on the shots that end the posessions and not the actions leading up to them. The essence of 3-point shot complaints really just boils down to nikkas bytching that players moved 3-5 inches back on their shot attempts

Every era of basketball after the shot clock has been high scoring...except for the late 90s to early 00s. It was an anomaly.

Look at the league averages starting from 1958. Now which era sticks out like a sore thumb for PPG?

I’m not arguing the 90’s was beautiful/great basketball cuz it wasn’t ,but neither were the 80’s,70’s,60’s 50’s why is everyone focused on 1990’s basketball? cuz Michael jordan is considered the Greatest? At least back then you had different styles now everybody plays the same. High screens/jack 3’sno post game,no mid range ,no triangle, no nothin stop actin like this wakk current advanced era is good these dudes just been told to shoot more 3’s. The playing style wakk just like the 90’s it’s just more “efficient” and analytical.kareem would be a relic today that’s how trash present nba is
I already said that

Really if you think about it, 08-17 was really the only era of basketball where the on-court product was basically flawless and balanced - you had something for everybody. You liked high scoring 130-124 shootouts you had the Suns, Warriors, Nuggets, Rockets, etc. You liked 90-84 rockfights you had the Pistons, the Celtics, the Bulls, the Grizzlies, etc. And then you had teams like the Hat/Cavs, Spurs, Lakers, and Thunder that could do both. Every area of the court was damn near evenly distributed. The real problems with that era were largely off court, injuries (which does impact on-court obviously but still) and league culture brought about by hot take media, which itself was crystallized by the internet and the way it enabled the 90s to become the most mythologized decade in pop culture (it's deserved, but entirely because it was the bridging point of analog/digital and the 90s generation were the era enabled to preserve/immortalize themselves on the internet and had a headstart on everybody)
