    That's not how evolution works buddy. There are more top athlete's now then the 90's but that's only because of population growth. There's 1000000000 million more people in the us than there were in 1990 so your bound to have more of the top anything. The top athlete's of the 90's were just as athletic as the top athlete's now. Mj would still be the most athletic and most skilled 2 gaurd in the league and it wouldn't be close actually. Bo Jackson would be the most athletic running back in the NFL and it wouldn't be close. Don't even get me started on on heavyweight boxing.

    Nope we evolved

    There wasn't a 7 footers from the 90s who were as athletic as Giannis or 7'3 unicorns like Porzingis or 6'11 guys with guard handles like KD

    We evolved as a species.Sports,Music literally everything is much more advanced than it was 20 years ago

    Oldheads can't accept the harsh reality that todays athlets are far superior to the athletes 30 years ago

    Ahhh Shaq and even wilt 60 years ago were every bit as athletic as Greek and the unicorn. No they couldn't handle the ball like either of them but it was a different game. They relied on the there strength in the post because it was a big man post era. Greek and porz came up in a spread out faster pace three ball era. They didn't evolve because they're not better at all there just different because the game is different. You seem to think that just because Greek can dribble and is agile for his size that he's better than those two but he has zero post game and isn't half as strong as either of those two. If you dropped Shaq and wilt in the NBA now they'd both be better than Greek. So would Hakeem and Kareem.

    I won't even go in on porz because he dosnt really belong in the convo anyway. He's overrated for one and if your evolution theory is real it obviously skipped white dudes to begin with.

    There ARE better rappers and worse rappers, fact!

    Rapping is a skill! some rappers are higher level than others. You have to consider flow, rhyme scheme, multi syllables, content, charisma and beat-picking.

    Future can never be as good of a rapper as Biggie, Benny the Butcher, MF Doom or somebody like that.

    Well you never know what could happen a million years from now but human evolution definitely doesn't happen in a 30 year span like Manny thinks.

    Lost Tapes II is better than anything the MIGOS ever could dream up. And those are Nas' throwaway tracks. The only stuff I like that the MIGOS did is the stuff they did with Starlito before they blew up. All this commercial crap they make is trash.

    Their halftime show 2 years back or whatever was so damn cringe and bad with all of the props and dancers and lighting and stupidity needed. As opposed to J. Cole's this year. Literally just a man and a mic, dude held it down.

    Just because music these days is more refined, better produced, better mastered, lyricists of today thinking they're better than lyricists of the past (despite learning the very techniques they know from the same oldheads they're hating on), does that make it better?

    Same goes when comparing eras of basketball, just because these days you have better training, better nutrition, better analytics, iPads on demand on the bench with players analyzing the very same game that they are taking a rest from, does that make players of today better than players of the past?

    Those that bash the '80s/'90s, the same people who were in their respective fathers' nut.sacks during the time they speak of, are essentially saying Migos and Future are better than Nas.
    Great post

    Here's the actual SCIENCE, facts, and historical record supporting everything you said:

    Op clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. Literally almost every sport right now is dominated by old ass mutha ****as. Nadal,Serena, Federer, LeBron, Brady, Mayweather, Manny PAC. The heavyweight champ isn't old but he's a fat ass Mexican who wouldn't have a chance in hell to win a title in any others era. In track Bolt was crushing kids a decade younger before he retired. Where are all these 20 year olds that have evolved past the previous generation at?

    The same technology and education that's giving athlete's of today an edge over athlete's of yesterday is the same technology that older athlete's now use to stay on top. That's why you have so many athlete's staying on top longer.

    I feel like you diverted from the main point and made up your own thing completely.

    Not all. I'm not saying the older generations are always better but the fact that there's so many older generations still on top definitely disproves op's point. Theres Ebb and flows. Maybe in a couple of years it there will be alot of younger people dominating and then change again.
