The athletes are better. I'll defer on Guy. Just can't watch the NBA. Maybe im just old and like the way it was. I liked watching the Celtics run the fast break without the ball touching the floor. I loved Showtime. I liked watching tough defense which isn't allowed today. I liked watching rhe low post moves of Mc Hale and Olajuwon and so many more. I dont see that now. At least when i tune in. I appreciate the the awesome shooting of the Warriors and the crazy athleticism of a Lebron or Antetekoumpo but for me its not the same.
