TDK, do you think today's athletes are bigger, faster, and stronger?

Thank you.

In Football, sure... bigger, stronger and faster BUT not necessarily better.

In the NBA players have been the same size (virtually) for the past 40+ years, so they're not bigger. As for being stronger, it's hard to tell because there is no physicality in the game today (ie; no battling for Rebound positioning under the basket, no posting up, etc.). Faster? Again, who really knows... and does it even matter in the NBA? Doubtful.

In Baseball you could argue they are, but they're not hitting HR any further than they did 40-50 years ago so again, is it really relevant? Faster? Eh...
I don't see anyone stealing 80=100+ bases today, like many did decades ago. Sure there's more Pitchers throwing upper 90's/100+ today, but is that because of being bigger and stronger or is it because of better conditioning and mechanics?

I dunno...
