Charles Oakley says the NBA has no heart

Exactly, this might be the 2nd greatest era of basketball after the 80s and early 90s and the jury is still out on this generation to equal it with so many guys either not in their prime yet, entering their prime or still in their prime. Watching the Heat vs Spurs Finals in 2013 was easily the best brand of basketball displayed in a Final since the Celtics vs Lakers in the 80s. The best in any series since the Kings vs Lakers in the early 00s. We talked about this a couple of years back when all these young bucks were getting better and better. Now, it appears that almost all the stars that have entered the league have either met or exceeded expectations placed on them. That is what you need in order to have a strong league.

Dog....I've been watching ball since 84

This is the 2nd greatest era of ball we are witnessing imo

Competition is always a better watch when both teams/adversaries dislike each other. 80's had more of that than today. That's why I liked watching KG and that Celtics team because he was old school like that and it rubbed off on all of them including the other team.

Exactly breh. This hands down the 2nd best era I have seen. The only thing is that it is weak at the Center spot but that could be because a lot guys that would have been centers in the 80s are PFs. even then the C spot is not that weak with the Gasol brothers, Demarcus Cousins, Andre Drummond, Dwight Howard, DeAndre Jordan. Joel Emblid if he is healthy could be a monster too. Same with dude from Kentucky coming into the draft. Yes, most are not as skilled but they are not the worst era of centers.

Breh, this is the WOAT era for Centers.

If Sampson played today he'd get 30 a game.
And if Malone played today he'd get 40.

I'm pretty sure even Smits would get 25.

The mid 90s to the early 2000s, had some of the worst centers...Michael Olawakandi, Eddy Curry, Big Country Reeves, Michael Doleac, Adonyl Foyle, Kelvin Cato, Joel Przybilla, etc. It got so bad that nobody wanted to be known as a center anymore. In the 80s and early 90s big men embraced the center spot.

Every player you mentioned played the majority of their career in the 2000s. And a few were drafted in like 98/99.

The only guy who was a 90s center was Reeves.
