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

Hand-checking was mostly illegal by then. But it was a big part of the game in the early '90s (Starks on MJ).
As for these brief clips, someone could easily post highlights of LeBron barreling down the lane like a freight train and getting easy bucket after easy bucket. Not much is proven.
Ultimately you're dealing with two completely different eras in terms of rules and the types of schemes and players to accommodate those rules. It hasn't been long enough for athleticism to change much. Personally, I enjoy the style of play better today (which was the purpose of the rule changes in the early 2000s), but I enjoyed the top tier stars and rivalries of the '90s more than that of the present. Overall I don't particularly think one era is better than the other in terms of talent.
