True/False: The NBA has less talent now than years prior.

Obviously, we're going to need to see a birth certificate to resolve this L3bron.

If that really is your real name...

Right, I'm the one typing nonsense.

Put your tin foil hat back on and continue to educate the masses on the PED conspiracy the NBA is operating in order to saturate Lebron's legacy to compare him with the basketball Moses, Michael Jordan.

How many 260+ pound centers were there in the 90's?

With today's PED's training and medicine....MANY would.(as if weight is the end -all-be-all).

Slightly bigger, stronger and faster doesn't = better basketball player.

Jebus get a clue.

Depends on how you look at it.

Patrick Ewing was a pretty damn good post player when play in the post was a more integral part of the game.

But, was he really a better basketball player than Chris Bosh? In my opinion, Bosh has more SKILL than Ewing did. They just have different strengths.

Yeah but the also play different positions and different styles than their respective traditional positions are/were known for.

[Y2K]

Marc Gasol, Roy Hibbert, Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard, Brook Lopez, Noah, Cousins, Horford, Al Jefferson, etc.

Those look like some talented centers to me. There's no Hakeem or Shaq's but compare as a collective group I'd say they're every bit as good as what the 90's had to offer.

You can name all of the centers in this league and I'll still say that they are not better or even on par with the Cs from the 90s. As a group, They are simply not.

In 1994, the NBA had 27 teams. Here are the starting centers/combos on 15 of them.

Benoit Benjamin
Tim Perry/Shawn Bradley
Kevin Duckworth
John Koncack
Cartwright/King/Purdue/Williams
Brickowski/Shayes
Polyniece/Anderson
Robert Parish (40)
Mike Brown/Luc Longley/Stacy King
Greg Dreiling/Lorenzo Williams/Sean Rooks
Cage/Sam Perkins (4.5 reb per game)
Oliver Miller/Mark West
Victor Alexander/Chris Gatling
Peplowski/Causwell/Polyniece
Elmore Spencer

Heck, Olden Polyniece and Stacy King were so good/bad... they each had more than a dozen starts for multiple crappy teams that season. It's amazing what nostalgia can do to our memories sometimes, huh?

So is this one season indicative of how the entire decade was? I wouldn't say so.

You're free to pick any season and compare them. You won't because you'd realize how right I am but the option is always available.

I randomly grabbed a single year in the 90s. If you think it changed significantly... be my guest and do your own homework that shows more than 1/2 the league's centers weren't stiffs in another year.

Abe,the discussion isn't whether there were below average centers though. That's every era in every season. I've never denied that.

That's why when comparing the two eras, I find it silly to say that the group of Cs that Rondo listed as being better or even on par with the 90's top 10ish group.

This is the biggest difference between the two eras and she's in denial.

You mentioned "PED's." I don't think you understand what that implies.

I know exactly what it implies.....the PED's of today that Bronz and a good portion of the players are on are FAR more advanced and beneficial then those of the 90's and before. This isn't up for debate.

I think the 90s group had 4 or 5 elite, all-time great centers. I don't think anybody today matches them. But very few eras can. That was the signature position for most of the 90s. After the first 5 or so, I think today's era compares just fine. I just wanted to assure others out there that the 90s weren't stacked with centers from top to bottom. As I showed, it was extremely top heavy.

Do you have a list of PED's of today and doctor's testimonies on the effects of said drugs? Can you expand on what makes them superior to the PED's that Jordan took?

Thanks.
