Yet he's just as inefficient today as he was in the 2000s :ehh:
thats the problem with that argument. if you gonna make comparisons that NBA is watered down AND easier to play in, you gotta justify it with overall offensive production going up.

in the NFL for example, its quite clear that passing went up drastically, you got all kinds of bum qbs throwing for #s that wouldve been pro bowl-type in early 2000s.

it's simply not as pronounced in the NBA. take LeBron, easily the most dominating individual player of last 10 years. There is no *significant* offensive production jump in his numbers across that time period. Yet, shouldn't his numbers have gone drastically up, in terms of both volume and efficiency, if the NBA is 'easier' now ?

I do believe 90s were harder to play in, in general. I just don't buy the huge chasm argument. It's not like NFL where defense is literally striped of almost all advantages and put in a losing position to start with.

Only 1 team wins fukk are you talking about..he got 6th man went to the playoffs and is old as fukk I think he qualifies to know what he's talking about.

When is the last time Crawford has been out of the second round. If the game is so much easier now to him why is he not a benefit of it??

And how is the game more watered down now than when bulls won 72 wins with expansion teams??
