The golden days of Wilt, Kareem, Oscar Robertson, then Dr J, Jordan, Magic and Bird are forever gone.
Very true statement. And most of the younger generation doesn’t realize that the NBA had 8-10 less teams in the 80s, early 90s (What I consider the heyday of the NBA) and every team was good due to no dilution of talent and the lack of unproven and even bad would be college sophomores and juniors (drafted on potential).
Bird/Magic coming into the the league revitalized a dying NBA. Ratings soared and interest was as high as it had ever been and maybe since. The Laker/Celtics/Bulls teams of that era would have swept any Golden State team of the last 7-8 years. Even then, a team had to have 3 super stars to contend for NBA championship. Magic/Worthy/Jabbar, Bird/McHale/Parrish and MJ/ Pippen/Rodman (among others).
Also, the game was not flop city, superstar call driven as it is now which is one of the things that is so irritating about today’s game.
