I'm glad someone like Larry Bird finally came out and spoke about this. There's so much hate towards current NBA it's fucking ridic. Larry praises current superstars and current NBA games. Everyone is so blinded by nostalgia that they aren't able to enjoy what's in front of them. I hope I don't grow old and grumpy.

I mean...80s, late 90s, and early 2000s basketball is absolutely better. As someone who watched the latter three live.

Games now are a 3 point shootout.

I dont like how in the current NBA it doesnt seem like traveling is a thing.

Didnt they change the rules recently because officials weren't calling it anyways?

Im not sure why, but the game has become more and more lenient about ball handling and less lenient on fouling.

Seems like there's less dunking now.

Plus the dominant strategy now is throw a ton of 3 pointers

There's plenty dunking. There's just less post up games which is a good thing. And people abusing the 3 has been a thing since Reggie Miller.

The three pointer is good as hell, and the game is more entertaining as a result of its prevalence.

It's one thing if people preferred to watch one era over another but I would struggle to think there's any professional sport out there where players haven't massively improved their fitness and conditioning etc alongside having much improved diet and sports technology regimes helping them

Nah. Threes are far less entertaining.

I don't see how. Beyond the impressiveness of the talent required, they space out the floor and make comebacks more likely.

i like 3s, just not how some teams like the rockets or bucks do 3s. dribbling for almost the whole possession trying to get a 3, or chuck it out for a 3. or trying to drive o the basket for a dunk/layup, can't get it, chuck it out for a 3. it's just ugly to me.

Pay no attention to this guy. He wants another Malice at the Palace to happen.

Which isn't as entertaining. It's literally just watching people swing and do screens and shoot threes.

Watching people actually handle the ball, cook, shake and shimmy, drive to the hole, and dunk is much more entertaining.
