That's absolutely not true. Total assists are at an all-time high so the team game is flourishing. Scoring is up because three point shooting is king.

Free throw shooting % is at an all-time high as well so players can shoot better than ever before. The offensive game has never been as skilled with as much ball movement as today.

I was more referring to the players all being buddies and wanting to play together instead of beat each other like competitive athletes are supposed to do.

Of the top 20 best seasons for assist per game 17 of those seasons are late 70s to mid 90s. So far this season has been the top avg but the next 10 seasons are all from the 70s and 80s.
