Why do I keep hearing people say today's NBA players are bigger/stronger/faster?

I don't know if this has been mentioned but you have to keep in mind that a lot of young kids now who are built to play in the post, are now preferring to develop perimeter skills.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
this ain't no different than white girls suddenly having asses when in the 80s it was all pancakes... even the black women wasn't THICK like you see some of these women today


there's more steroids in our meat, there's better training, better supplements, better trainers, more research, sports science, guys run whole teams based on just stats

that's not even mentioning kids starting to play earlier.. rec league teams, aau, send away camps, summer camps, nba camps, nba stars running camps.


it's not like people on average have jumped up a foot in height and 100 pounds in weight. nba stars and definitely nfl (who don't test for hgh) are better trained, worked out and play the game earlier in life, then in the 60s and 70s... 80s and 90s you can almost see its comparable
