I feel personally categorized.
I think what you bring up is an attitude that all generations have in their casuals btw. It looked like a causality behaviour to me.

Hey Doc MJ, you're a teacher aren't you? I've started to notice that "90s kids" or millenials who are around their mid-30s seem to be a demographic who is very resistant to change when it comes to sports. The Marv Albert retirement threads have plenty of posters who want Marv to stay around as long as he wants.
And I've noticed on other social media platforms (and other real life conversations) that people of this age love to talk about how athletes from that generation (late-90s to late-00s) were incredible and should be given chances to stay in the league (AKA Jamal Crawford's fanbase). So to me, it seems as if this generation is almost obsessive in their quest to preserve and sometimes justify their childhood.
Of course, I've also seen Tiktoks made by 17 year-olds who are already romanticizing the 2017 NBA season and Adrian Peterson's 2015 Vikings campaign as the "good old days." So maybe it's just human nature to do this? IDK so I figured I'd ask you about this phenomenon where people wish to live in the past.
PS: I'm trying to make this as unpolitical as possible, as per the rules of this thread.

I'm not sure there's another player who is able to be as dominant in a team sport like a great pitcher is in softball. When a pitcher is in the zone, you're not even putting the ball in play.

That was gold.
Shame that you have to take KG over Timmy. (I should throw some shades at that one, otherwise it'd bother me in my dreams. )

I went camping for 4 days and have had a somewhat life changing event happen in my personal life that I am dealing with at the moment.

The one after the Raptors is the Rockets. That should be a good one to return.

I've recently gotten into guitar (recently being like 2 months ago) and I was wondering if anybody else here likes to play? I waited till after the worst of the pandemic to pick up an instrument so I feel like I may have missed the trendy boat, but I've had a blast. Found an old and free PDF of an instruction book and have been going through it after work.
Ragtime and Piedmont style blues and jazzy stuff just fascinates me. Like, they can play bass and melody at the same time, and some can even mimic percussion and it's like they're a whole band even though it's just a guy on a guitar.
