WOAH STOP THE PRESSES ONE MORE TEAM IN TODAY'S ERA WON A CHAMPIONSHIP THAN THE 80s/90s OMG NBA IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COMPETITIVE NOW

yo listen, the only thing that changed is that instead of all the top talent going to Chicago, Lakers, and Boston like the 80s/90s they are going to Golden State, and Cleveland. There are literally two teams that have all the talent and everyone else is just a spectator at this point next season.

Did the top talent go to Boston, LA, and Chicago or were they drafted and developed? Big difference. I think Parrish might have came in a trade but wasnt great at the time.

Edit NM. He was a 17 and 10 guy when that trade happened.
Magic
Worthy
Bird
McHale
Jordan
Pippen

Hell even the Spurs drafted Parker and Ginobbli late 1st and early 2nd.

okay then you are just proving my point more that Today's NBA is even worse because it's just a bunch of hired guns assembling to teams with the 1 of 3 superstar players drafted that are currently their prime. That's even WORSE.

Everyone just flock to Curry and Lebron. Rest of the markets are left picking the scraps of mediocre talent.

You think ChiefsCountry is going to criticize the model that got his team titles?

Fat chance.

And if you think the 80s/90s NBA wasn't 10x more competitive than this product, you clearly didn't watch it back then.
