This old boomer has become annoyed at being told how bad the 80’s 90’s nba was. How bad can a sport be when you have 2 champions combined that have defeated a total of 1 50 win team.

Thinking shit used to be better is fine. It’s incorrect but you’re allowed to believe whatever you want. The problem is when you feeble old FUCKS start trying to pull out the “back in my day men were MEN” card… when most likely you guys as individuals were weak and feeble back then too!

After a while of reading boomer comments and listening to boomer takes the rest of us literally start to think like this gif…

You know that 80s teams played....80s teams, right?

Having 50 (or whatever) wins doesn't mean you are great in absolute terms. It means you are great relative to your competition.

Having a lack of mega-ultra-super teams (minus the Celtics last year) doesn't inherently mean anything about the talent of a league on the whole. It could simply be that there is a lot of talent that is spread amongst teams and somewhat cancelling each other out (as opposed to more of a concentration of talent in the 3-4 top teams).

More generally, people who view their value/esteem/image through their generational cohort instead of through their own accomplishments, character, and virtue, are some seriously sad individuals.

I'd love to trip them to the ground and stomp on their fucking skulls until their brains leak out of their head.

On his way to to the title where he led his team in pretty much everything, one of the teams Jokic beat was the Phoenix Suns. Those Suns had Durant and Booker, two absolute sure fire HOFers in their prime and Chris Paul, who was past his best before date, but another sure fire HOFer who is considered one of the greatest pgs of all time. Are we seriously going to denigrate that because the Suns only managed 45 wins?

That kind of thinking is retarded. Meanwhile, some 90s Knick teams that are relative dogshit won 60 games. Who cares that they won 60 games. They were still very mediocre teams and beating them wasn't especially impressive.

And almost no one denigrates the 80s. They had absolutely iconic teams like the Lakers and Celtics and to a lesser degree, Philly and Milwaukee and many iconic greats, led of course by Bird and Magic.

The 90s are different. The Bulls had a disproportionate amount of talent and really had no great rivals.
