We have had this discussion before, and I've explained it before. Which do you think is the bigger adjustment, going from physical defense to no defense, or vice versa? Ok then. My bias against today's game is obvious because I've openly stated it many times. The difference is, I've seen basketball in real time in the 80s and 90s and today, so I know the difference. Klay Thompson is Dale Ellis (a very good player, hardly a legendary talent) in the 80s-90s, Curry is Steve Kerr. That's my opinion and you can disagree with it, but it isn't fantasy. It's an argument based on experience from being a basketball fan since the 1980s. I watched basketball in real time back then, and I read books about the history of basketball. You should try it sometime, maybe then you'll outgrow the goofy 'old heads' stuff.
If todays players played in the 80s and 90s, they would have trained according to the playing style of that era, in order to withstand the physical defense.
