Nobodyxis talking about the top talents. That's the fatal flaw in a lot of poster's arguments. The thread is about the average NBA player. So if 9 through 12 from the 90s aren't good enough to make it any more the talent has increased.BernteB wrote:lebron james has been playing in the nba since 2003. he basically played against many players from the 90ies in his early years. he is still, as a soon to be 40 years old with almost 1800 games on the clock, putting up (raw) stats, which he couldn't put up, when he was playing against 90ies players. so how much more talented can todays player be if that is possible?
what todays player are better at is definitely shooting. they all can shoot nowadays, because it's valued way higher than it was 30 years ago. but this is only due to a focus on what is being trained, not necessarily talent as such.
what is also true is, is the fact, that the talent pool is way bigger. but this basically only means, that certrain bench mobs, that made the nba in the 90ies, would maybe not make the nba today. we are talkeing about roster spots 9-12. but even today, these roster spots are more or less irrelevant, to define, how good the top talents are.
