I'm going to agree with Mr. David, because these players have never in their career had a their Bell rung by a Rodman, Barkley, Olajuwon, Kemp, Barkley, Oakley, just to name a few, for coming into the paint. It's definitely not the same game. Some of today's stars would not have survived in the 80s-90s
It's a recency bias.
Averaging 30 when teams average 100 is more impressive than averaging 30 when teams average 110.
You said that it takes more skill to play defense now because of what you are NOT allowed to do now. By that logic it took MORE skill to play offense back then because of what you were NOT allowed to do back then on the offensive end.
I think the point Sean is making is that players can play longer due to rules changes. If you take a modern player and put him in the 90s…they would have a massive adjustment because players today can carry the ball, travel, no hand checking, spacing rules changes, etc. so are they really more skilled or do they have an advantage because of looser rules that makes it look that way? Imagine if MJ could travel, euro, and carry the ball like Kyrie does. That wasn’t allowed back in the day and some guys who live on those moves wouldn’t always make it with stricter rules. players also come into the league younger and many don’t develop. You have literal teenagers trying to play grown men. Those kids would’ve gotten destroyed in the 90s. Remember Kobe struggled early. T-Mac struggled. Garnett struggled. LeBron James is the only player to come out of high school and really contribute right away. So it goes both ways.
Drop Lebron in 75 and he gets called for traveling and carrying the ball every play. The problem with these kids is they don't understand the evolution of the game not the player. People haven't evolved at all. But the rules sure have.
Rodman stopped Shaq.
Not only the players from the 90,s but also the 80,s. The current players aren't worth watching.
Something else that people often over look is the coaching. Too many players don’t listen to their coaches and took power away from the coaches and no longer use any actual coaching scheme, if a player back then challenged a coach like they do now… they’d be sitting on the bench.
Also LeBron has to turn in one of his chips because Ray Allen is a 90s player lol
Drop leflop in the 80s 90s he would cry and his flopping will get ridiculed
the greatest athletes are not always the greatest defenders.. determination, grit and intelligence go a long way. understanding schemes, rotations, switches, positioning, ANTICIPATION.. PLENTY of athletic guys ride the pine in EVERY NBA era because they cant figure out the defense. so even IF players today are more athletic than before, as you say, it wouldnt matter if they bite on every head fake, miss rotating and are lost on the defensive end.. they getting cooked. im 44 and i was cooking teenagers at the park because they werent used to my mid range and post up game.. meanwhile I knew ALL about their game, fake shot, fake drive, step back, rinse and repeat (they werent driving the lane on me lol).. you got it twisted if you think athletism means good defense..
NBA weights should be taken with a grain of salt, because websites like basketball-reference have their draft weights listed, not their prime or later career weights.
So for example, rookie MJ was like 190 and he is listed as that on basketball-reference, but in his prime he was 210 and in his Wizards years he was closer to 220 lbs. E.g. Khris Middleton today is 6'7 and 222 lbs. Devin Booker is 6'6 206 lbs. All weights comparable to a prime MJ.
The thing that HAS changed is that rookies enter the league with a lot of mass rather than building it during their NBA career.
Also, saying only certain players from the 90’s or80’s would transcend the eras. Has to be take with a grain of salt. Only a handful of todays players could transcend the eras as well. Most of the players today… if they played or acted the way they do back then the coach would be allowed to tell them to shut up and sit down. They’d be riding the bench the rest of the season.
I wouldn't argue about which era had the better players.....the NBA keeps evolving which forces players to adapt....the League is now offense driven to increase the pace to maintain high ratings.....we all have our favorite eras......
Interesting take on “evolution” in that we can see that the league had two eras with a similar pace (60’s and 80’s). Neither era had problems with defensive efforts or star players playing at least 80 games, playing more minutes with far less luxuries at that. So if the league is so “evolved” now, why is it that this era has produced the lowest ratings ever for regular season, all-star weekend, playoffs and finals? How did it get so bad that nba games are regularly being outwatched by women’s college basketball/college ball in general??
Keep evolving?! Though today's players are more refined in their individual skillset, they don't use their skillset as well in a team concept than the 90's players. Today's players have to learn how to play within a team concept.
@@HeathOverledger I guess if the word "evolution" offends you then how about "changing"......I prefer the competitive defense of the 90's, and I could care less who does or doesn't watch the NBA or their ratings, maybe there's just more crap to watch on TV now..... obviously the NBA and NFL are following the same offensive driven trends
@@j-us-t_be-in-g that's true, maybe if defensive minded teams are more successful and become more popular then the league may start "changing" back to more defense
It's hard to say because today defense is trash everybody scoring 40 points that's not because their good it's because of the defense
Athletic doesn't equate to better. Is Jokic athletic? How bout Luka? Exactly, they aren't, but they dominate today when they wouldn't in the 90s. You see this when refs let them play a bit more physical. Mad dropoffs in performance.
There is no shooting guard or center in the modern NBA as athletic as Micheal Jordan and Olajuwon. With the modern rules and floor space 90's players like Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Chris Mulliin, would all average 25 game. Jokic is dominating the current NBA making the superior athletic argument a little lame. I do believe that the talent has more depth in the modern NBA and that is all.
You say players can do more things today... Then why do they all do the same thing???
Yeah they can do a lot of things and they were better,maybe.. Thats why they are all mess up. 1 is trying to be that man individually trying to be someone that cannot be. Thats why it doesn't really effectively works..but i get u for that cuz this is your era thats why.. U know what i mean.. When u look at the bulls team they were effective individualy because they were doing what they were good at..and it was effectively works..todays player they were tying to outshine one another and i get that,and thats why it doesn't works..Not all but alot of them..
