Nice goal post move + hypocrisy. The same argument you’re making applies to 2024 and I didn’t make the argument your straw man suggest but the 96 team is bigger and that is a fact.

No those aren’t the only two options. Every post you make further shows your basic lack of understanding when it comes to sports in general. You cannot be objective because your bias is all you can see.

My “bias” is athletics get better with time. My generation won’t be the best

Your unbiased opinion is your generation’s the best

I mean front lines in basketball are smaller so earlier when he made this same dumb statement and I pointed that out he just deflected to some irrelevant nonsense. Then he comes back and says it again lol. As far as his “future is always better simply because it’s future” argument, the post MJ era of the early 2000s was much worse than previous eras. This is something he and others point out incessantly but how could that be since it was the future to those eras? These arguments are so weak because guys like him only have a couple of surface level talking points that fall apart under the slightest of scrutiny.

I won’t disagree with athletes today being better as I’ve already said, but for you to dismiss what’s teams and players have done in the past is just stupid. But look who I am talking to.

Never have I ever done that. Ever. For example 90s tennis to me is by far THE BEST. has nothing to do with me thinking the players today are better

Comparing across eras is dumb because the players of today have massive advantages over their peers from before.

LSUPride87 actually said “individual greats transcend eras”

Madking lies and says I made the statement every athlete from today is better than every athlete from years before

But yeh, keep going with your facts only non biased reporting

Let me explain, bot that it matters because you will simply lie anyway. Billy cannon would be a stud today. But the 1958 team would get arse blasted by the worst sec team today

Also let me do one

“Madking says Grant Hill is a better athlete than LeBron”

So you can make all the straw men you like but I can’t make a joke? Why am I not surprised you can’t take your own medicine.

He’s made so many double talk statements it’s hard to keep up. The guy is flailing because his premises are like wet toilet paper.

Did I say Cannon would be better than the best football player today?

Sampras could absolutely still play pro tennis today, just like cannon could play pro football today. Neither would be the best like they were in their era

How is that double speak?

In your opinion is 1990s the magical pinnacle of all sports where everyone has gotten worse since?
