    Default The league is majorly lacking in star power right now.

    What the ****?

    Put together a top 10 list of the league's current players and it doesn't hold a candle to players of even as little as 10 years ago. ****ing terrible. 10 years ago.. Hell, not even 6 or 7 years ago even.

    The league is getting worse each year... and it's not simply nostalgia.

    Who we got that would be on a top 10 list from 10 years ago right now?

    Durant, James?

    l.o.l.

    The game is more team oriented now. Back in the old days it was just ISO/hero ball 1v1. For the real fans of the game of basketball this era is great.

    So are you comparing today's basketball to pre Jordan? Haha, yeah right. Because his arrival ushered in hero ball.

    The top 10 list from right now wouldn't compare to the top 10 list from 1984, either.

    It's because your team doesn't have a star player. Quit fcking whining, you spoiled brat.

    There's tons of fcuking stars in this league, even after just KD and Bron.

    Cp3
    Howard
    Melo
    Harden
    Wade
    Dirk
    Love
    Curry
    Westbrook
    Davis
    Griffin
    Wall
    Aldridge
    Duncan
    Irving

    I'm missing A LOT more, too.

    As soon as guys get older (duncan, dirk) people just ASSUME they arent playing at an elite level anymore. This typically exposes the people who dont actually watch. Look at what Nash was doin at 38 in his last year in Phoenix.

    People are always obsessed with whats new or whats next.

    Davis, Lillard, Wall, George
    All have star potential.

    Harden, Griffin, Love
    All are borderline stars

    Lets also not forget that we're going through a "transition". A lot of the stars are young and will be superstars in 1-3 years.
