[QUOTE="Brian Renville, post: 296653, member: 256"] I don't see much tv but this one I'm liking so far. The bulls were awesome but I remember really wanting Barkley, and KJ, and Thunder Dan Majerle to beat them. I really love basketball but NBA today is tough to watch although as much as I'd like to agree with the reasons you guys gave I just cant. The fact is there just isn't enough court for these guys now, too crowded for these dudes. They are so much bigger, faster, stronger, athletic than even 10 years ago, forget about 20+years ago. The ways guys score like they do now almost always well contested is unreal. Things that woulda made me come out of my chair in 1996 are now routine buckets. Case in point in episode 4 I think when there were talking about John Paxon getting open, cool guy btw, that just doesn't happen any more. Those shots are made completely over top of someone now, no one who can shoot gets left open now, too much speed. Shaq "in his prime" isn't among the top 10 strongest guys in the game today and they are all quicker and can score from anywhere. That's why we don't compare eras for anything other than entertainment value, it just doesn't make sense. MJ is the best to ever do it though, not even close, no need to want a magic time machine to compare because the basic human being stats don't lie. [/QUOTE]
