Yes the NBA has changed but the sport is far more popular than it’s ever been in it’s history, I too miss the days of Pistol Pete Maravich, Kevin McHale, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Jerry West, Bob Cousy, The Big “O” Oscar Robertson, and an awful lot more, but I think it has to do more now with the resentment of these massive salaries the players get today compared to back then, but you also have to remember that those times were different as well .10 cents for a gallon of gasoline, .15 cents for a loaf of bread, things have changed for the worst, Think about it, In the 60′s these players made $100,000 dollars if they were good, Our society has changed too drastically in the last 60 years to be sustainable, meaning we are doomed to collapse at some point, and everything we hold sacred will vanish, living souls with means got very greedy in the 80′s and we are paying for it with enormous poverty today, who would think that if you work in the U.S.A. you would still need food stamps or a food bank to keep you from ending up on the streets? Some of these people work more than 40 hours a week?? but I’ve gotten off point a little, so yes today’s athletes make substantially more, Why, you ask? because we support it, plan and simple, that’s not the athletes fault it’s our own, we buy jersey’s we buy tickets, we pay for cable & satellite TV and all that is fine. But the players today are more fit, more explosive they push athleticism tho the brink. Keep in mind we used to get trading cards of our favorite players in the 60′s and 70′s before the exploitation of sports in the 80′s, 90′s & now so it is what it is, We’ve created a monster, but I enjoy it all none the less sports are one topic that 60% of people share. Just ask someone about basketball, football, or baseball and they’ll give you some kind of feedback, so like everything else in life we grow with it, Currently I enjoy the Lebron James, Kobe Bryant match-up, as well and The Stephen Curry & James Harden match-ups my point is the names have changed but the match ups are still there...and there’s a lot more of them then ever before, so be thankful we are still here to see them.
