LOL at young people telling the 90's league was water down based on stats, then there is this "no elite guard in the 90's" reasoning. For people like me who grew up with 90's basketball, we know this thread don't give justice. We respect the great & remarkable talents of today, but to say that the 90's basketball is watered down, now that's disrespectful.
anybody in this thread 21 or younger needs to exit.

Hence "Apples & Oranges"Originally Posted by dmbrhs
This isn't an apples & oranges argument. We're talking about the effects of expansion (among other things) in the league in a particular era. When you add six new teams over the course of 8 seasons, the league becomes watered down. The talent level at the top didn'tdip and nobody should be saying one era's stars was better than another. The problem is while the top tier talent remained high, there was influx of bottom-feeders that diluted the league. Add in ridiculous rookie contracts and the beginning of the era of overpaid role players and borderline All-Stars, and the league took a hit OVERALL. The W-L records from '96-'98 back it all up.Originally Posted by TheCoolestGuyUNo
