I enjoyed the championhip series last year, it was rewarding to watch that heartless phony choke yet again.

And i may or may not care about the next one, either way i wont lose any sleep, the nba has just lost something for me, not even 100% sure what it is.

Shit, thanks for catching that. Meant to stick Celtics in after Pistons and left out the Piston part. Bill Laimbeer ought to smack me around for that.

Bad Boy Celtics, Malone & Stock in Utah were great to watch. Clyde and the Nigerian in Houston, even the Cavs were all part of a great time in the NBA.

Michael came just in time to take over for Magic and Larry. Fantastic ball, great rivalries, team play and hard D.

The minute MJ left was the day the music died and the song hasn't been close to the same since.
I grew up in the same era, and it's what planted the seed for my enjoyment of the NBA today. But if you don't think Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Rose, Dirk, Durant, Howard, Paul, Melo, etc. aren't of the same caliber as the names you mentioned above, I think you're just being nostalgic about that era. The exciting part is that some of the names I rattled off are still young with much of their career to play out, and they play the right way and carry themselves well.

Now, has there been another MJ? Nope. Kobe is close, but just doesn't quite measure up.

The players you mention are not the same caliber IMO. Nor do they have near the same likability factor as the players in the Golden Age. Magic Johnson has more charisma and charm in his little finger than LeBron has in his whole body. Bird Celtics, Bad Boys, Showtime, etc. were a whole lot cooler, played a whole lot more as a team, and had "it".
Not so today and their lack of popularity since MJ left reflects this.

So you're going to compare the least likable player to the guy with more charisma than perhaps anyone ever? Seems fair. If you're arguing whether the league currently has one of the top 3 players of all time (MJ, Magic, Bird) the answer is probably no. But beyond that, the league and it's players easily compare to the 80's and 90's. They're a bit younger, so we'll see if they ultimately progress and maintain the longevity of a Malone or Hakeem.

Easily compares to the 80s and 90s in what way?
We are each welcome to our opinions. However the numbers over the years since MJ left tell a definite story.

Maybe not to you, but there are tons of young fans of Lebron, Kobe etc that cant relate to Magic, Bird and even MJ because they never saw them play. Thats how sports works....there will always be a new generation of players and fans ready to replace the old.

Of course there are new generations of fans. The fact they don't know anything about the original product doesn't affect the quality of either product.

I'd love to hear your opinion on why the 80's and 90's was so definitely superior? What numbers prove this? Attendance? It's not really quantifiable.

He bases it some on TV ratings but the NBA had the best season ever for their ratings along with attendance.
