Yes? People who lived through an era typically let their emotions get the better of them and view things through nostalgia
Whereas those who didn't don't and typically keep things objective and factual

This is the most ignorant and arrogant thing I’ve ever seen posted on a message board.
If I watch a 2 minute video on nuclear bombs that obviously means I know more about them Oppenheimer ever did. That’s what you are saying. Don’t try to crawfish your way out of this either.

That is not what he’s saying. What are you talking about?
He’s saying that we all tend to think more favorably of the era we live thru, because that’s what we experienced.
When I go put on a 90s game on YouTube or watch an NBA Classic game, I’m sometimes stunned by how poor some of the play is. But we remember it differently, or all we see now is the highlights so our comparison to today’s game isn’t always as accurate as we think it is.

Here’s a great video on the subject.
You’ll see how the game has evolved and the players have gotten better over time, just like every other sport on earth.

A team from 1994 would crush a team from 2094.

Because people who never lived through a time period CLEARLY know more about it than people who actually experienced it. That’s what you and WestCoastFag are saying. Think about the level of ignorance and arrogance in that line of thought.
I’ve never lived in nor visited Mongolia but clearly if I watch a two minute video on it and meet someone tomorrow who has lived their entire life in that country then you are saying I know more about their homeland than they do.
Own your dumbassery. Don’t try to crawfish out of it.

The old heads will never change their minds about players from the past. It doesn’t matter that we have video of these games and we can see how bad the basketball is. Their love of nostalgia is too strong and won’t allow them to see the truth.
Also lol at “he watched one game,” this guy is a basketball historian.

Why are you so against the thought that basketball might be better now than it was 30 years ago?
There are a lot of people like that and I guess I don’t understand it. Some fundamental things are worse now, and I think AAU can create some bad habits. But from a skill and depth perspective, it’s not even close.

Larry Bird seems like a good candidate to be a VERY good player now. As in even better than he was in the 80s.
I don’t think much points to MJ being better now than when he was with no zone defense and favorable calls and more of an ability to guard your man to take advantage of his competitiveness. That era was PERFECT for him.

I think the shot selection is the largest thing here. 1994 is still in the "3 pointers are meant to be a last ditch thing" era of ball - meanwhile players were launching 20ft jump shots, especially that baseline jumper that Parish/Malone, etc... loved that's now been replaced with the corner 3.
A true zone was illegal, but switching off in man were legal and teams pushed the definition of "illegal defense" as close as possible to what would be considered a zone. Especially with so few players being willing to launch a 3 with more than 10 seconds on the shot clock so the back court players could play a few steps off.

Throw in Bill Russell with Wilt and the 64 team would probably have a slight rebounding advantage
