I, for one, welcome our new space overlords.
While the regular season hasn't been so eye catching the last couple years, I'm tired of this white boy who keeps getting invited to the dunk contest when he's not a pro. It's obvious bias because there are so many black kids who do ridiculous dunks better than him and yet they aren't given any chance. Why him? Go to YouTube search and look for ridiculous dunkers you'll see for yourself. Adam Silver is trash:scust:

Thats more effort than players used before the 00s breh.
Pre 00s basketball had its own set of issues with dumb illegal defense rules that catered to iso ball to the extreme(it's detriment). We can call out all the bad in every era without going soft on what we see today. Luka was walking thru the defense like it was a warm up in shoot around. He looked like a QB in the red jersey during a football scrimmage.

My love for the 3 pt contest will never change.

And I can't even argue with the younger cats about shooting being better today. Bird won a 3pt contest with 17 pts:hhh:

I'm an old head that will ride for my favorite era, but the # of players that are threats from 3 obviously will make scoring higher. Teams back then struggled to have 2 floor spacers on the court

I wouldn’t say “dying”, I’d say changing for the worse

It’s very similar to rap. If you’re only focused on money, you lose the essence. Silver is completely oblivious to the essence of what this game is. David stern was a legit basketball guy. Silver is running the league like a lawyer.

It’s the little shyt you gotta pay attention to

Calling it right now: 15 years from now the league will be majority international talent and bi/multi-racial. Talking over 70, maybe 80+ percent.

Which is great because you want the best players around the world playing the best players around the world.

However, less Americans will care.
