Me and one of the homies were talkin basketball recently and it dawned on me that this current Era is the best era, and all other era’s are incomparable.
The reason:
International players access to play in the NBA.
In the era before the late 90s/early 00s, the influx of international players begun.
It reached the point where the US lost out on its first olympic gold metal to Spain, playing with NBA players. Then it really took off.
There’s a HUGE difference between playing against the best players in the US, then playing against the best players in the WORLD.
Word to Arvydas Sabonis and Oscar Schmidt, I’ll never disrespect this era like most these ol head haters.
Just my opinion.
