Bad practices over time can make anything decline, including basketball

Poor coaching/training at the youth level via AAU, politics and money in the sport, league direction, etc

Today the league is the most one dimensional it has ever been, and the players are the least durable The league itself has had the most injuries in league history over the last 6 years, players dropping constantly because of non-contact injuries.

Roughly 70 to 90 threes go up per game, with a very little to no increase in % over the last 20+ years.

Media members, players/former players, and people in general constantly criticize and tear down certain past eras of the NBA.

Followed by placing multiple players from the era they are ripping apart in their top 10 best players of all-time.

All of you are ridiculous. Rodman for example stated that he believed LBJ wouldn't even average 10 ppg in the 90s.

Followed by saying he is a top 10 player of all-time.

We have people that CONSTANTLY rip on a past player. Calling them low skill, weak comp, etc

Followed by placing them 6th all-time.

1970s ABA

People would look at the NBA in the early 70s entirely different if it had the ABA talent. People would consider it a much stronger stretch for the league.

63 of the 84 ABA players entered the NBA at merger (1976). 10 were all-stars in the 1st season.

@PeterVecsey1 And with that ABA talent in the NBA, you could have seen results altered. Including champions, all-stars, stats, accolades in general, etc

It also would have made the NBA more exciting in general, as the ABA was fast paced, fun, and had a style that the NBA overall was missing.

I can't even begin to tell you how exciting it was to watch the Jason Williams Kings.

"The first impression one gets from watching the Kings play basketball is the right impression: the razzle-dazzle bunch enjoys the game and eachother and it shows" - David Dupree I put that team against any team today (Same with the Bibby, Webber, Stojakovic Kings) and they win in a 7 game series

Era, depth, competition matters

No team today plays with close to the same exciting style, you kids today just don't get it. You missed out on some great hoop.

This is how people are talking about the evolution of athletes today.

I just can't.

People are sending me these tweets. You guys are cracking me up.

Listen, if 6'3" SG Lu Dort is the hill you are going to die on trying to prove evolution of the game, you lost the debate before it even started.

Not only did the NBA have overall bigger SGs than Dort in the past (Like 6'6" Jim Jackson below), but guys who were FAR more skilled. Nobody said that Dort isn't rugged, or that he isn't a great athlete.

But don't be ridiculous. Dort is not proof of anything.

And if you think Dort is an evolved athlete for the NBA, you don't know the history of the game.

So stop it with the BS.

Haha, you made this so easy.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

And everybody in the NBA today is ripped and jacked? Boy, I have some news for you. "Ripped and jacked"

People, you need to STOP using player weight from basketball reference and other online sources that pull from it to say players are BIGGER today.

Tomas Satoransky
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 210lbs

Kevin Willis
Height: 7'0"
Weight: 220lbs

These wild inaccuracies are constant.

#NBA ImageImage Proof.

This is the information that makes up the graphs the media and kids use to tell you players weigh more today. ImageImage

Want to know why we are still in awe of Michael Jordan?

👇Because since he retired nobody has matched what he could do on a basketball court. Double team? Triple team? didn't matter.

I've never seen better from an athleticism, skill, control and determination standpoint. Go ahead... double him... triple him... it doesn't matter.

His movement was so smooth..... nobody has moved liked him since.
