Shooting, passing, and movement are skills. All are at all time highs


Shooting is improved in that any appearance of contact is a foul, so there are way more open shots. Metrics actually say that 3 shooting is way up, but midrange shooting is all time poor. Is that really skill, or just specialization ? As far as movement, that is just funny. You have guys whose entire role is to stand in the corner to catch and shoot.

Why is playing smarter such an insult to your delicate sensibilities?

Smarter? They are playing the way league rules have encouraged them to. The game evolved. Sorry you get your arse chapped by the fact that modern game is boring.

Now do free throws

As opposed to 80% of the offense standing around?

Nothing prevented offense like this in the 90s

Bad coaching/strategy is why they were limited.

No rule change (since the 80s) has shifted the offensive or defensive balance more than the partial zones giving defenses huge advantages.

Opposed to 4 guys watching one guy in isolation? I mean I get the whole today’s era sucks thing a lot of people have, but let’s not ignore obvious things to prop that argument up. Movement is most definitely at an all time high across the league.
