There hasn't been a radical jump in human evolution in the past ten years. Yes, the guys now are bigger and stronger, but that's because they actually, you know, lift weights more. Put the 80's and 90's guys on a modern team with a modern training staff and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Maybe, maybe not. It's not about getting to the NBA with these bodies, most of these guy start that training in grade school (same as football players).
The only people that state that the NBA was "better" in the 80's and 90's are people that don't and haven't consistently watched basketball this millennium.
