There is no skill or competitiveness most of the time in this era. No I'm not an oldie , I'm 21 and have enjoyed watching hardwood classics than most regular season games.


lmao, this how lots of my frenz feel NBA is just another WWE these days.

wondering how they are making money:
coz a steve ballmer with 20+ billions (only coz he was gates + allen frenz) to throw away overpaying a crappy team does mean anything anyone will follow suit.

we know that cleveland owner has lost ard 500million plus in paper money after bron return.

I'd say 90s ball was a lot more entertaining, especially when my team was winning, lol.

Honestly nothing from the Magic/Bird eras compared to the never-before-seen greatness and utter dominance of the modern era Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry. What they're doing is great for the game of basketball.

Last year they were essentially one of the top 5 greatest teams in the history of the league, and they're significantly better than that this year, likely on their way to having the single greatest season ever.

Curry himself is having the most dominant individual season the game has ever seen as well, shattering records that he set himself.

While Magic and Bird were great, their style was nothing like Curry and the Warriors or even peak LeBron.

LeBron at his best was more fun to watch than Bird or Magic, and Curry right now is probably the most entertaining and best player to ever play the game.

This will all be even better if Durant joins the Warriors next year. Then you're looking at 70+ win potential for over half a decade.
