re: Watch this video, and tell me NBA superstars didn't have it easier in the '90's

Players could actually shoot back then consistently throughout the roster.
Go to an NBA game early enough to watch a shoot around, get back to me on this one.
Watching an NBA shoot around is one of the most astonishing things I have ever witnessed.
I have. It is incredible to watch.
They could do the same in the 80s and 90s too. The difference is, when the game action starts, those guys were better throughout the roster. Now, there is a lot of freezing up, missing wide open shots, and even missing layups.
I remember that when guys used to get open looks, they would usually make them. The whole thing was about getting a guy open. Now, guys have wide open shots and miss consistently.

Your entire argument is anecdotal. They missed a lot of shots back in the 90s too.

It's honestly just a really tough argument for either side because the rule changes have caused a difference in the way the game is played. Maybe we would view the big men of today differently if not for those changes. I feel like there are a ton of bigs in the league that would dominate without help defense much like the bigs of the 90s.
Players are much bigger, faster, stronger in today's game, that isn't a debate. I do believe AAU Iso ball has caused some development issues with a large number of the players in the league now.
