Maybe it did have more substance back in the day, but those things largely weren't basketball related. You can't even describe why it was more beautiful back in the day, you just list out some broad words to describe a feeling it gave you. You're doing mental gymnastics to avoid using the word nostalgia. Nostalgia is just an affection for the past which is exactly what you are describing. Nostalgia is linked to personal associations, not quality. But for a plethora of reasons, it’s lost the charm, beauty, and substance of the 80s/90s. The game today is more advanced and it’s definitely more skilled. There’s a charm, beauty, and substance to older movies that is harder to find now. In so many ways, filmmaking has taken an amazing step forward with CGI, special effects, budgets, etc., but they’ve also taken a big step backwards.

But again for context, that would also have made them the 3rd highest 3 point shooting team by rate in 1994 before the shorter line. So much so only 2 teams in the NBA had a 3 point rate less than the league average in 1998, the bulls being on of those two teams all be it by.

They were 12.7 in 1998 after 3 years of a shorter line which did increase attempts.īut teams going from 15.9% of their shots being 3's to 22.2% is a pretty massive jump. If you go back to 94, before the shortened 3 point line for better context attempts were at 9.9 per game vs 18.1 in 2010. The league was transitioning, sure, but it wasn't significantly different yet.ĩ7 when Reggie hit 229 the league had the shorter 3 point line. The previous year, Reggie Miller made 229 threes.Īlso, David Stern is still the commissioner at this point. In 98 (the last full season of the 90s), Wesley Person led the league with 192 made threes. In 2010, Dorrell Wright led the NBA in made three-pointers with 194. Through ten years of the 90s, the league average was 100 ppg. The average points per game was 99.6 in 2010. Average three-point attempts are just up by about 2-5 attempts versus most of the 90s. League-wide pace is comparable if not slower than much of the 90s. They're comprised of one real three-point shooter (Korver), a blend of traditional big men (Noah, Boozer, Gibson, Kurt Thomas, Asik), and a PG that dictates the show. Record-wise, the best team in the East is the Rose-led Bulls. We're talking a decade removed from the 90s here. The rules changed significantly from the 90's to the 10's, to compare them and deduce they aren't significantly different is very wrong. That's when the game really started to mature. He was a very good player, but wasn’t anywhere close to being an all-star lock.Ģ010 wasn't significantly different from the 90's? That's crazy talk. I mean, Brook Lopez early in his career played in an era that wasn’t significantly different than the 90s.
