mid-to-late 2000s.
So, maybe there's hope.
However, the 90s were still better.

Not really. The NBA today doesn't seem as "real."

Also defense in the 90s weren't that physical. Lots of stuff out there on it.

Yup. Do you know how weird it is to hear that the Hawks won the East and the

Exactly. Since new teams are winning the product on the court must be inferior.

Sure--it proves that I'm consistent.

No argument there. You are consistent.

Why do you think that the product is great right now?

Reason 1: Priority of team basketball.

Are you talking about how everyone is now trying to copy the Spurs?

I think you are remembering the 90s a lot better than they really were.

Huh. Good to know. I may give it a look-see at some point then.

Sure, but the 90s were still much better.

IMO, less star power now. But, the bottom 25% of the players are far better
