Skilled but soft as shyt. Them nikkas was sniffing coke and getting clotheslined on the court in the 80s. These dudes get tired from playing in back to backs. Meanwhile John Stockton missed 19 games over his 19 year career. 19.....games out of like a possible 1200 games

Every single sport is more athletic and skilled than it was 30-35 years ago. If it wasn't you would have to ask serious questions on what theyve been doing in all that time.

Hmm idk if you could include boxing in that
.
Has a star from the 60s, 70s or 80s ever retroactively admitted that their own era was trash, less skilled, and/or would be food if they had to play in any decade that proceeded (or preceded) their own?
Everyone thinks their era is the prime era right?

Players now have more stylistic freedom. Rules were different back then, 2 steps MEANT 2 steps, Euro steps were called travel, couldn’t palm the ball while dribbling it was called carry, big men weren’t allowed to play out of the paint (even though some could), wasn’t allowed to shoot 3 pointers at a high rate no matter how great of a shooter you were.
Not more skilled, they have more freedom.

To be honest you have to defend your era, if you don't people will try to downplay it

Those 90's bums indirectly acknowledge their era was weaker. They just take heed in saying that their era was more 'physical' and that whoever is beasting today would've been layed on the floor back then and wouldn't have been as good.
They somehow omit that 5'3 Mugsy Bouges had a long, sustainable career back then, and Dweebs like Mark Price were frying nikkas during that era unhurt

Steph can play 20 years in The NBA and spend another 20 being a pro golfer if he wanted to.
You're going to rep your own
Durability is highly questionable in this era
No one in this era dare speak on that though

Yup. To be honest i feel it all balances out. Sure player movement is advantageous, but do you know how easy it would be for Curry, Luka, SGA, etc to score in an era where (1) they moved the 3point line closer bc nyggas couldn't shoot (2) you weren't allowed to zone, double offball, or crowd an area (illegal defense) and (3) there was no 5-second back-down rule below the freethrowline. i.e. Embiid, Jokic, Giannis, Kawhi, Luka, Butler, etc could get deep post position and back-down dribble 1v1 forever until a predictable hard double comes or an illegal defense is called for a technical freethrow or they're right underneath the basket.
All those guys I mentioned would be averaging 27-30ppg just like Malone, DRob, Shaq, Mike, Hakeem, Dominique, etc., did at different points in the 90s. Maybe not Kawhi and Jimmy, but only bc they don't be trying to score like that in the regular season. Ultimately no matter the era, star players typically level out at 20 shots a game (give or take) and 30ppg (give or take) with the occassional outliers for a year or two like Mike, Kobe, Harden, Luka.
