I kinda wonder where it stems from. Why do these 17 to mid-20s year-olds be so obsessed with over-dramatizing past events they weren't alive to witness? Maybe it's because of these older retired players that they see as "objective" history teachers when really they're just the stereotypical drunken uncle with half-baked tall tales about "back in my day.." shyt.
"The nba today is soft with players flopping and trying to bait the refs instead of playing the game the right way..."
as if Rodman, Danny Ainge, and Divac weren't flopping like fukking fishes 25-30 years ago. Horry, Ginobli, Fisher, etc. 15-20 years ago. Reggie Miller flopping on 3s before Harden. Duncan doing that swing through bullshyt to bait the officials before Harden and Durant were in the league. Baron Davis was doin that Chris Paul shyt before Chris Paul lol.
But shyt, 10 years from now these born in 2010 nyggas really gon think Chris Webber was better than Tim Duncan tho because a 60 year-old shaq still gon be running his mouth on TNT
It's an attempt at vicarious cred.
They the kind who feels insecure if they get in an argument with an old head, because they sense the old head knows more than them and so if they the young ignorant whelp who ain't been around than they probably wrong. So instead they adopt the arguments of the old heads, assuming it gives them cred to be the ones pushing the shyt that they old heads they insecure around were pushing.
