that all-atlanta allstar mess was some of the most egregious shyt i've ever seen in the NBA since I've been watching this league :mjlol:
Kyle Korver was an all-star that year too. Roy Hibbert was an All-Star too. Yall can see those role players making the all-star game and still not acknowledge how today's game is more talented.

I’m not a huge supporter of the whole rewarding winning in the All-Star game thing.

read your own thread bro :mjtf:
Nah talent is way up. Its not about snubs really. Jeff Teague made an all star game averaging 16/7

I'm not even sure Devin Harris would be a starter in today's league either.

People want to talk about the talent in the 90s but they forget that BJ Armstrong was an All-Star in the 90's. The NBA used to have a lot of questionable all-star players

I think the NBA had a rule where each team had to represented like the MLB for a while that’s why guys from random teams would be in competitions

More skilled in general.
Based on what? All-Star games was basically when players could display "skills" outside of standard play. nikkas would get yanked out of games quick for doing bozo shiit that is considered skillful in todays game. That's part of the disconnect with the product. Everything most of learned about basketball has been erased. 3 has always been worth more than 2. But now a low percentage 3 is stressed instead of an easy 2 points.

Lol

These dudes couldn’t fight through a screen to save their lives

These dudes can’t slide their feet on defense to save their lives

These dudes can’t stop a baseline drive to save their lives

There’s way more screening in todays game and further away from the basket at that same dudes that complain about illegal screens then say there’s no physical play :comeon:
