This is more a question for those who keep complaining about the product, that it's watered down, and/or it's boring, and/or it's not being played the right way, and/or it's too easy to score, and/or the stats are meaningless, and/or it's soft, and/or there's no personalities, and/or whatever perception you have that has you turning up your proverbial at it.
Now, nobody is saying you have to like it, or that you can't have any grievances with it, I'm just curious why y'all continue to watch a product y'all can't say anything positive about. Why not just give it up and find something you can take actual joy out of? Take up painting or water sports. shyt, if you still need to scratch that hoops itch - dust off them old tapes when Kiki Vandeweghe was dropping 50 points in the gladiator arena when he had to use a shield and war hammer to get to the hoop.
It's not like the league is going to rewind back to appease your childhood sensibilities.
You know how the story ends, and it's not a third act where the players hold hands and start shooting endlessly from the midrange.
It can be your New Year's resolution - no more "new NBA".
