No better than iso ball or midrange or Patrick Ewing baseline fade-away.

Gather provision has made some offensive moves unguardable, which I also don’t like.

On the upside The speed and athleticism of today’s game is off the chain. The shooting skill of every player is impressive, and better than it has ever been.

I tend to exaggerate the greatness of the 80s and 90s because that’s when I was coming of age and I remember how much I loved the game then.

I am more jaded in middle age, so I just generally don’t have the enthusiasm for the league, especially in light of load management and other shenanigans.

I think we see what we want to see with today’s game. I am not sold on it, but I can see why some may be.
