What's the difference between the NBA now and the NBA in the 1990s?

In real life, people often like to say that the times are progressing, the living standard is improving, and the physical quality of human beings is much better than before, but now it seems that this sentence is right or wrong, because it is right among ordinary people, and it is wrong, because it cannot be applied to any field, such as NBA. Why do you say that? If you compare the active players with the superstars in the 1990s, you will find that there is a big gap between them in physical fitness, antagonism, athletic ability and technology.

As we all know, Embiid is called? Big dream successor? But how does he compare with Big Dream? Let's start with physical talent. Embiid is 2m 16 in height and 2m 28 in wingspan, which are better than the official dream of 2m 13. But aside from this aspect, whether it is sports ability, confrontation strength, flexibility, speed, explosive power, etc. Although Embiid is excellent enough, there is still no comparability in front of dreams.

There is no comparison between the two in terms of offensive and defensive ends and the ability to lead the team. The big dream on the offensive end is really unsolvable. Dream dance has become a recognized personal stunt in the history of the league, whether it is turning jump shot, attacking with the ball, or single-handedly. Although Embiid knows a lot, none of his offensive skills have reached the first-class level in the league. To put it mildly, in terms of offensive skills, Embiid and Dream, one is the best defensive player in two sessions, ranking first in the historical blocked shot list and top ten in the steals list. The single-core team won the championship, and the other one?

Tsai En Williams, the No.1 in the 19 draft, is considered as the next Buckley. Let's compare the gap between him and Buckley. Although Cai En is still a rookie, antagonism and strength are among the best in the active NBA league, and his athletic ability, flexibility and speed are almost impeccable, but Buckley is really not inferior in these two aspects. In college, Buckley was a center with a height of 1.98 meters. After coming to the NBA, Buckley took the position of power forward with such a height. You know, the NBA in those days was not the current level of confrontation. Few excellent inside players even play outside. At that time, entering it was an era of melee. Buckley can quickly gain a foothold in the NBA, relying on excellent strength confrontation and athletic ability. After all, flying pigs in the air.

As the warrior coach Cole said, Zion is comparable to Charles Buckley in strength, athletic ability and explosive power, but there is a big gap between them in technology. Zion's offensive performance this season is amazing enough, but it can't hide Zion's technical defects, such as back-to-back singles, such as shooting. Now Zion relies more on his physical talent to attack, but what about Buckley? In terms of technology, it is almost impeccable. Whether it's a thief who plays with the ball and jump shot, backhand singles has become a nightmare for his contemporaries, combining his own skills and physical talent, and his rebounding is far superior to Zion Williams. Although their physical talents are almost the same, technically speaking, Zion Williams is only a younger brother in the use of physical talents, even when he was a rookie.

In addition, in the last two seasons, Brother Alphabet's performance has become more and more outstanding, and the media is also speculating that Brother Alphabet's dominance is comparable to or even more than O 'Neill's at the peak, but many fans who have really seen O 'Neill play football regard these comments as jokes, because the gap between the two is simply too big.

Let's talk about the physical quality and athletic ability praised by the media. Brother Alphabet has the height of an inside player, top explosive power, good antagonism, speed and flexibility of an outside player. These are the roots of the rise of the letter brother, but in terms of physical talent, O' Neill can even be said to be better. It is estimated that among all the inside players in the history of the whole league, only the legendary Zhang Dashuai can compete with it. Can you imagine a person who weighs nearly 300 kilograms and is 2.655 meters tall? And the explosive power of O 'Neill, who is born with divine power, is even more amazing. At the peak of his life, it was as simple as taking something out of his pocket.

As for the offensive end, the last two seasons have also proved that Brother Alphabet's attack is not unstoppable. His ability to hold the ball is not top-notch, and he doesn't have a three-point perimeter, which gives his opponent a chance to limit his attack, and O 'Neill doesn't make a shot at the offensive end, but unlike Brother Alphabet, O 'Neill really doesn't need such skills, because O 'Neill is on the offensive end because you know what he will do next, but he can't stop it. A simple backhand singles and small hook is enough to solve all opponents, so what shooting ability is needed? The only way to really stop O 'Neill is to foul, but only if you don't mess with this big shark, otherwise you may not even have a chance to foul.

After reading the comparison of these three groups, I don't know what you think. In fact, many top players in the league are almost incomparable with the top players in the 1990 s. The only advantage may be the three-point ability of the perimeter. As for the remaining technology, antagonism, strength and gap, the most important point is that the players in the 1990s are far more resistant to manipulation and can bear hardships than the active players. Stockton, for example, can become an iron man in such an era of fierce competition and confrontation. Now the antagonism and defense in league matches have come down, but more players have been injured.
