I don't think it is any better just different. I doubt many people think the NFL is better today than during the 80-90's just different.
Alot of that has to do with rule changes to make more offense and less defense. [Reply]

It's both different and a lot better. Much higher efficiency offenses than ever before and better athletes at all positions. [Reply]

If they played by the rules of the time GS would be destroyed not only by the great teams but by most of the average teams as well. They couldn’t guard anyone and would get knocked on their ass.
Today’s NBA is like a flag football version of the NFL. All guards jacking up 3s with 90% of the offensive play taking place on the perimeter. It’s a completely different game with no centers and greatly reduced post play and defense. It’s just a 3 point contest. [Reply]

Congrats, might be the 2nd worst take in the thread so far after Kevin Durant is "basically as good as" LeBron. [Reply]

Not only do all of these guys suck but it seems they are choking too. Somebody else on the team might want to hit a shot if this game is going to stay competitive. [Reply]

Here's someone who doesn't understand the game. There's a reason why Pythagorean records are considered a better estimate of the team's actual skill. [Reply]
