Exactly the only people who hated 2000s NBA at the time was 35+ year old cacs and 40+ year old black men who blamed everything on rap music and telling young black men to pull your pants up to be successful the sports media was older back then and wasn't too many options compared to today due to no social media it was either older black men or older racist cacs that hated the nba in the 2000s

A lot of people overreacted to how the game was presented, but offense was deep in the gutter. Off ball movement had seemingly totally ceased to exist and there were a ton of guys who just couldn’t shoot who were taking a lot of shots in isolation sets. It was rough to watch if your favorite player or team wasn’t playing. By 2001 and into 2002, the best 4 players in the East were Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, probably Allen Iverson, and Paul Pierce. That’s a weak as hell top 4. Half the eastern conference was struggling to average 90 points per game. Then 2003-04 came along and we had the worst offensive season of the modern era. A team won a best of 7 playoff series while averaging 75 points per game as a team.

Top 75 All-Time
You sound stupid as hell. These 4 would probably be the best 4 players in the east today outside of Giannas and a healthy Embiid. The fukk are you talking about?
Early 2000s basketball had a bunch of bad teams but the actually top players were all time greats and skilled as hell. All those guys you named would be 1/2 at their position right now.

I cant get over how this clown nikka said Pierce, Iverson, Carter and Tmac were a weak top 4 in the conference? 4 hall of famers and two top 75 players are weak?
Who is the top 4 players in the east right now outside of Giannas?
Tatum, Kat, Brunson and Jaylen Brown? Or Lamelo Ball and his street ball, unpolished/non text book style of play?
That is shytting posting 101.

nikkas lapped it up because we aint know any better. Same issues were going on. Ratings and interest were down. One side of the ball was marginalized. If you were in your 30s and up this was not the ball you knew. Difference was there wasnt social media, there werent as many alternative options, best players were from America.
There was definitely racists who hated the league. But we cant just say it was just cacs who turned the league off. Because apparently nikkas weren't watching that much too if you look at this thread. Like I said in the thread below I'm shocked at how bad the viewership was for some years from 03-08 even worse than the last few years.

Can't really compare conference finals excluding the Michael Jordan factor when we were kids the majority of the conference finals was on NBC till 2003 after that it went to tnt and ESPN exclusively that would explain the ratings dip and plus I already said niqqas wasn't trying to watch the spurs or nets Tim Duncan was a great player but was boring azz hell to watch
and plus niqqas didn't even have cable like that unless you had bootleg cable 
once they started to crack down in the mid 2000s most people started to get cable my dad was one of them 
That was the lowest point out of the East

50 wins would get you the top seed and a team with nobody who was even a viable #2 scorer (let alone a #1) reached the finals in back to back yearsThat was the lowest point out of the East

. From 1980-1999 there were 3 times a team with no past, present, or future mvp winners or defensive player of the year winners reached the finals. Then it happened 3 times in 4 years, all coming from the east (Marcus Camby was a role player on the 1999 Knicks so he counts)Dem313wayz

It wasn't good. It was pure iso basketball. No off ball movement or action.
