90s NBA was the peak, talent level way higher and they cared about the craft
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 21st, 2026 11:07 AM Author: poppy depressive No one cares about the craft anymore they just lob threes. I don’t care that they cum from 57 countries, you don’t have athletes or skill like this anymore

The way he effortlessly glides, his footwork to the basket, his handles—the closest thing you have to him now is Ant Edwards and all he does is straight line stuff to the rim. And Vince wasn’t even known for his skill work.
It’s a shittier sport and I’m tired of Gen Z repeating this fake news that this is some kind of renaissance era for the league. It’s not. They fucking suck. HTH |

He was just the fancy dunk guy that kids thought was cool. No one respected him lol
He never finished higher than 10th in MVP voting. Never made an all NBA first team. |

The best in game dunker of all time, and was a better 3 point shooter than Kobe or just about any other of the elite self-creating scorers of his time. Freak athleticism. Feel like he should have been winning scoring titles instead of being a top 5-10 scorer in his prime (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5848195&forum_id=2 |

And the peak era of his career with the athleticism only lasted a few years. He never made anyone better or won anything. He was basically famous for dunking a lot. Big deal.

Date: March 21st, 2026 11:15 AM Author: chartreuse state The NBA is unwatchable trash, and I have no idea how anyone can watch the games. Even the playoffs.
Traveling, carrying, double-dribbling are almost never called, which makes the league a joke. Virtually every team has the same offensive strategy: shoot 50+ threes or just run toward the rim expecting a defensive foul for the lightest graze. Defense isn't allowed.
The reigning champions (OKC) are SPS and unwatchable. Their gay bottom superstar SGA just foul baits and flops as much as possible. Their actual defensive fouls go uncalled.
I tried watching the playoffs last year but couldn't handle more than like four or five games. The regular season seems unimaginably terrible.
Also, gambling. The NBA and all the other professional leagues have huge deals with sports gambling companies that get you addicted to gambling and make you lose all your money. It's all about money and has been for a long time. At least stars from decades ago were driven by a lot more than just money. |

Date: March 21st, 2026 11:26 AM Author: poppy depressive I co-sign all of this brother especially the part about gay bottom SGA. Prominent journos like Bill Simmons have started comparing him to Jordan and Kobe which is just insane to me and a total mockery of the sport.

The TV deal also feels like a looting job when you consider how few people actually watch the games now. Literally the looting phase. |

Date: March 21st, 2026 1:25 PM Author: poppy depressive Right. And we haven’t even touched the big men. Jokic is great but he’s playing on easy mode against these opponents, he would be a Arvydas Sabonis type back then. Imagine him facing Shaq, Hakeem, Robinson, Ewing, Mourning, and Mutombo for like 40 games every year. Suddenly Jokic begins looking like a mere mortal.

Date: March 21st, 2026 1:48 PM Author: titillating citrine abode 1990s are probably peak time for black assimilation. Decent prosperity across the nation and technology hadn't yet nuked black jobs and attention spans the way it has in the last 10 - 15 years. Even look at the names of black athletes back then versus today. Like wtf is a "LeBron."
In the 1990s people across the board could see what success looked like, but it still took actual work to make it big. Same shit with rap from the 1990s versus today. Nas actually wrote lyrics that said something. Today niggas just say "she fuck dat unnnghh, she suck dat unnngghhh...skrrr skrrr" over The Same beat and somehow get a deal.
When blacks put effort towards the things they are naturally attracted to, they can add real value. Especially when part of a more cohesive and prosperous society. And when held to some level of (white) standards. Blacks completely run the NBA today and it shows - constant traveling, no defense, chucking threes, skipping games, etc. |

Date: March 21st, 2026 12:54 PM Author: nighttime gas station sound barrier The NBA was only good when Jordan played. It is an anti white league and it is completely unwatchable. There was an NBA player who has the same surname as the star of SLC punk who lived down the street from my parents and had constant parties and prostitutes coming over 24/7 basically all the black dudes in the league are high all the time smoking weed and doing percs and codeine cough syrup etc thats why the play is so sloppy. They're just tall. The sport of basketball itself is fundamentally flawed and has been "solved" by computers now its just terrible (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5848195&forum_id=2 |

Date: March 21st, 2026 1:40 PM Author: titillating citrine abode The further blacks get from trying to assimilate into white culture, the worse all of their cultural output becomes. 1990s NBA may as well be a white league given the approach taken by guys like Jordan. I think things took a total turn south when Kobe retired. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5848195&forum_id=2 |

Date: March 21st, 2026 2:44 PM Author: poppy depressive The strategy now is far worse. They figured out that chucking 50 threes leads to higher average points scored than 50 twos, wow brilliant insight let's just walk from key to key while faggots chuck 3s all game. It's 3s and fast breaks, that's it.
Sorry, don't mean to be rude--but can you explain yourself? How is the strategy better now? The half court inside to outside sets they ran in the 90s were more strategic imho. |

I agree that the product is less entertaining. Baseball had the same thing with the shift - dominant strategy is not as exciting as sub par strategy. |
