Are we currently in the golden age of the NBA?
Players today are required to be skilled and efficient offensively, and at least solid defensively. One dimensional teams who have to pound it into a big or iso a wing every single possession are no longer prospering. Teams need multiple threats offensively, multiple guys who can dribble, pass, shoot, etc. and multiple guys who can defend multiple positions for PnR defense to succeed. Complete nothings on offense like Mozgov and DeAndre are forced to watch from the bench in crunch time of Playoff games. Liabilities on defense are completely picked apart and exposed and can't really be hidden as much.
I think this is the highest level of basketball I've seen. It will especially be more apparent when Kobe retires, and the inefficient, one-dimension iso star is completely eradicated from our game.

He isn't a star. Solid 6th man I guess. Could've won a ring in OKC if he wasn't terrible in the Finals.

'84 - '94 was the golden age.

I don't think he's a star either but he's treated like a star. . . so that means he's a star.

By the refs maybe. Outside of that, it's pretty common knowledge at this point that he's a number 2 on a team AT BEST (and not a very good team at that).
