    The 80's were an era....
    Magic, Bird, Irving ectc.

    The 90's were an era... Jordan, Barkley, Hakeem, Kemp, Payton, etc.

    the 00's were an era. Kobe, Shaq, Mourning, Nash, etc.

    The 10's are an era, Curry, Howard, LBJ, etc.


    That's how I view it anyhow.

    I will still take the 90's against any other decade.

    And that's fine. But don't try to say that people are less talented today. That makes no sense.

    I said that if you deny logic you're an idiot. If you think you're not denying logic, then I guess that doesn't apply to you.

    Do you not understand that just deny, deny, deny isn't a rational or reasoned argument?

    When there is not a viable scientific means of comparing the players, I'll take the consensus of the professionals who rank them. And that happens to agree with me :)

    After you show me the science to prove that people were born more talented 60 years ago, can you show the science proving that Jews are born cheap, or Asian kids are born good at math? Thanks.

    I'm not saying they are born more talented today. I'm not saying anyone is better today than they were 30 years ago. I'm just saying they aren't less talented today.

    That's a strawman.

    Nobody's arguing about talent. Just how the quality and distribution of the talent and how skilled that talent is at fundamentals of basketball.
