dude that's fine...and I don't disagree
you have to understand...when I was 8-13 years old...the NFL was an afterthought for me...I used to watch every Bulls game on WGN and I'd get pumped for the weekend and the NBA on NBC...I'd ****ing sit in my living room and watch the games all day and shoot socks into a ****ing laundry hamper and pretend I was Michael ****ing Jordan
I'm just realistic. There were a billion black kids that would see MJ on TV from their shitty little projects and be like "holy ****" and now all of those kids have grown up (I'm 28) and the ones that wanted to emulate MJ and saw the NBA boom MJ caused have just turned into SUPER ****ING FREAKS...
I'm not saying the players today are better basketball players...fundamentally, it isn't close. I'm saying they are most likely far better athletes.
Again though...I think it's amazingly unfair to compare eras...and I don't like doing it. I appreciate the differences of both eras.
