Nah that's nostalgia. The talent spread was very even during the 90s and both conferences were very well balanced while it was heavily tilted to the West during the 10s until this year. The Western Conference Curry had to go through was a damn bloodbath bro
The conferences were balanced in the 90’s, but the West was no cakewalk
There were several championship caliber teams throughout the 90’s decade in the West that would’ve won chips if it weren’t for the dynasty lead by the greatest player of all time. And other teams that were very talented
The Portland Trailblazers
Seattle SuperSonics
Utah Jazz
The Phoenix Suns
San Antonio Spurs
The West in the 90’s wasn’t as deep as the West in the 2010’s. But the upper tier 90’s Western Conference teams had powerhouse teams
It’s funny cuz Hakeem came out of the West more times than Curry and the Warriors did before acquiring KD. And he has a better win percentage against those Eastern teams he faced in the Finals
But I suppose that wouldn’t be fair cuz he played more years than Curry didnat that point
