Thats true....

Only former NBA players consistently tear down the current players. You rarely see this in the NFL

Imagine Prime being like "I'd get 20 picks a year in today's NFL....they all throwing 50 passes a game!!!"

I think there is a level of jealousy there. Former NBA players see that there is a difference in skill level and athleticism on average compared to previous generations, and they feel some type of way about it.

That's why they love Kobe

Kobe didn't shyt on the youngins like dat. Mentored and gave them advice.

The NBA styles drastically change more often and the type of player that succeeds changes more often than the NFL. Because the NBA is such an individual sport you’re gonna have more hurt feelings. It is what it is

NFL players do it just as much they just don't do it "out in the open" so to speak. You can catch hella players talking that shyt but they aren't going to do it on Mational television, pregame shows etc. Go catch them on podcasts or radio interviews and they talking that shyt.

Also the NBA is more of a one on one game so you should expect this.

How many years have I been saying that in here?

im really tired of NBA heads my age and older bashing today’s players. Its tiresome. Other sports dont have a culture of hating on younger players.
shyt is trash

This makes no sense.

bottomline, NFL players don’t have a collective of our era was better crybabies coming on TV or in social media trying to make themselves relevant.

NFL and MLB players seem to have much mlre respect for the fraternity of players theyre in than the NBA older heads, period

How doesn't it make sense? Like you said NFL and MLB players do show more respect and they show it by not sitting on the current players on the pregame and post-game shows like NBA players do.

In separate interviews whether it's a radio show, a podcast or a paper interview they gonna talk their shyt. The just have enough RESPECT to not do it on the pregame of a Sunday Night Baseball or Monday Night Football pregame or post game show.

I dont care about “Separate interviees”.
I think you’re smart enough to know the difference between something that is a consensus and permeates throughout the culture of an entire sport and you giving examples one offs as if the same value to this discussion. :camby:

It is real talk, I haven’t learned anything about basketball from watching former nba guys as analysts.

But learned a lot about football, baseball and on.

People just like these guys cause they are funny and sh like that. The expectations are so low cause their delivery is so low. While in football, people been killing Brady for not giving masterclasses on every play
