Take a look at the 60s or shyt even the 80s. You got dudes in the 80s that were dropping 30 every year that no one even talks about today...that weren't even getting talked about in the 90s. A lot of us came of age during mid-late 90s and the early 2000s where the game was slowed to a crawl and watered down due to expansion and don't understand that was actually the outlier period. A faster game=more possessions=more opportunities for guys to get numbers. That is basketball...not the quasi football that so many of us came up watching.

Basketball is supposed to be an up and down game not a crawl. Dudes stay confusing bad offense (low pace, forced post ups, poor ball movement/iso ball, long two’s over threes) as good defense. The league was also flabby back then older players on average.

Also, players in the 2000’s also had inflated stats from playing 40+ minutes on one man offenses.

Real talk hearing the dynamic between him and Clyde keeps you tuned in

Nah. Let Anthony sink or swim.

In reality this Magic team is operating on borrowed time. They should've blew up this core years ago. It'll happen whether they like it or not.

Well the 40 plus minutes thing was the norm from the start of the league. But you are right. People really underestimate the impact of adding 7 new teams to a 22 team league in a 7 year span. That's 25% of you league that was considered not good enough previously. And they hadn't tapped into the foreigners yet and they had started letting HS guys in. There was a serious talent issue. So what do coaches do? Slow the game down. Make it a slug fest. It's easier for lesser talent players to adapt to such a style.
