I Think its the Lack of the strenght of NBA Franchizes in Markets Like New York Boston and Phildephia tradtional NBA Powerhouses in the 80's and 90's and a True Superstar in the East in a Big Market as well Like Jordan in Chicago also the best Teams are in the West in Smaller Markets like San Antioino and Dallas When the NBA was in its hay day Of Bird Magic and Jordan All in Big NBA Markets. And The Diluton of HS Players into the NBA and the lack of Fundemental Basketball Passing Defence and True Team play is out of the Leauge What do you Think

Couldn't have said it better myself... well done, you have it exactly right.
Fundamentals are so bad now that NBA all stars are going to the Olympics and getting their heads handed to them. A total disgrace.

The style of the game has changed, the players are all about themselves now, its all about the duck, the show off play. There no more team game, its all about the individual play. The game will never be the same as it was 10-20 years ago.

Because all the players care about nowadays is money they could care less about defense or any other aspect of the game

Jon thats a dumb answer. If all most players cared about was money, then they would complete one contract and retire.
