Nikola Jokic: Basketball is better today

[LexDiamonds]

“It would be stupid to think that basketball isn’t better today than it was 30 years ago. That would be like saying phones were better 30 years ago. Technology evolves, everything modernizes, and basketball evolves too.”

Nikola Jokic: It would be stupid if basketball wasn't better now than 30 years ago. It’s like saying phones were better 30 years ago

Retired players are gonna be mad

"Jokic would barely average 15 a game in that era......Oakley, Mase and those boys would lock him up and get into his head"

Adapt or get left behind.

But not everything is "better". Tech is, but other things have suffered/declined with the advances in tech.

But with this shyt and old heads getting mad, it's simply not wanting to be forgotten. Everyone hypes up the era they grew up on and we are jaded and biased because of it.

Players might be more skilled but certain things were taken out of the game and more shyt is allowed. People clown Cousy, but that's how you had to dribble back then. These palming/carrying/travelling nikkaz wouldn't know what to do back then. Being allowed to be physical in the paint without the old whoop whoop with the hands to review with a flagrant foul wasn't happening before either.

shyt evolves no doubt, but better will always be subjective....along with these GOAT takes that are all still opinions at the end of the day.

Yes a league where every single team jacks 30-35 threes a game

& shyt like this is called a foul is better today nba trash

“Better”, is all opinion and preference, and I can’t be mad at his opinion or preference. I can only poke holes in it.

I think 90’s R&B is better than 80’s R&B, however, I prefer to listen to 70’s and 80’s R&B.

Also, like some of us need to stop getting mad at the younger generation for thinking their era of things are better, because we did the SAME thing growing up. Like breh said, evolution doesn’t necessarily equate better either.

Adults in the 80's/90's: "We want our kids to have a better life"

Same adults today: "These kids have it easy"

Yea, it's better.

You can poke holes in anyone's era, but while the best of the best (superstars) can excel in any era, i'd say the average starter/top 8 rotation player is better now.

Of course, old nyggas always think their shyt was better. That, death, and taxes are constants
