Players today are bigger stronger faster better

[JohnnySic]

In the 90's you had Shaq, Hakeem, Robinson, Ewing, Kemp, Webber, Mourning, Barkley, Derick Coleman, Larry Johnson, Mutombo, Malone, etc.

Today you have Howard, Davis, Cousins, Drummond, Gasols, DeAndre Jordan, etc.

And now compare perimeter players..

None of today's players hold a candle to DRob, much less Shaq, much less Wilt.

Kind of my point.

Kind of my point.

So why'd you put that title? Sarcasm?

Ladies and gentlemen, your last 2 MVPs:





Freaks of nature they are.

We're waiting, Johnny boy.

Blake Griffin is bigger, faster, and stronger than all the guys you listed besides Shaq and Robinson.

Better? Pau Gasol and Demarcus Cousins are more skilled than a lot of the guys you listed for the 90s.

Yes, I thought Rudy Gay made that obvious..

Griffin's like 6-8 without shoes.

I didn't see Malone. Barkley, yeah I'd say Blake is stronger than Barkley.

Both are recorded as weighing 251 lbs., but Blake has the more powerful upperbody.

Except for LeBron's size/strength (who isn't really perimeter anyway) its arguable.

LeBron, Wade, Westbrook, Paul, Harden, Curry, etc., vs Jordan, Pippen, Drexler, Hill, Hardaway, Payton, Kidd, Richmond, etc.

Crack is whack. Barkley is pound for pound one of the strongest players ever. Blake has him beat on hops and height, absolutely nothing else.

Threads like this are redundant. It's no debate that big men in the 90s were better.

But the fact that you tried hard to add names to the 90s list and purposely forgot good names from last season shows your bias. You're comparing an entire decade to one season, that's not a fair argument.
