Tonight shows the best team in the game today would be bottom tier in the 90s/2000s

I'm not even sure these Thunder could get by the 90's Rockets/90s Suns much less the 90's MJ bulls or Shaq Lakers/Duncan Spurs. This Thunder team is a 2nd round exit at BEST in the playoffs back in the 90's 200s. Yea they would. The league has devolved. . This thunder aint even on par with the 2002 Kings are they?

There aren't any dominant teams like there were at various times over the last 30-35 years. There are no Bulls, Shaq/Kobe Lakers, Duncan Spurs, Big 3 Celtics, etc. And that's kind of crazy to be, considering the Thunder won 68 games.

It's gonna be real funny what you think the rest of the league is if/when they win the 2025 championship.

What specifically makes you say that? There aren't any teams from that era going 20/40 from three.
Only 7 Players in NBA history have 21,000 points, 5,750 assists and 5,750 rebounds. LeBron has double those numbers.
