which one of these names doesn't belong with the rest of them?
Did Jordan play in a watered down era ?

This thread is hilarious because most but not all the fools that you guys are currently calling stars wouldn't be so good if they played back then. Threads like this annoy me because some of yall just say anything for the sake of posting

Players from jordans era still playing and contributing without their athleticism in today's game says a lot about the 90s. Too early to say but I don't see too many guys in today's game doing the same once the next era/gen comes along.

Quick comparisons...
Wade > Drexler by a hair
S.Smith > JJohnson by a nice margin
Barkley > any forward except Duncan
Ewing > any center within the past 10 yrs...
Isiah Thomas > chris paul Paul still has a chance to past him up if he gets on the right team..
DWilkins < Lebron
Dirk < Olajuwon footwork is too crazy
REGGIE > most 2 guards not named KOBE or WADE ray allen blends btwn both so i will exclude him

This isn't an apples & oranges argument. We're talking about the effects of expansion (among other things) in the league in a particular era. When you add six new teams over the course of 8 seasons, the league becomes watered down. The talent level at the top didn't dip and nobody should be saying one era's stars was better than another. The problem is while the top tier talent remained high, there was influx of bottom-feeders that diluted the league. Add in ridiculous rookie contracts and the beginning of the era of overpaid role players and borderline All-Stars, and the league took a hit OVERALL. The W-L records from '96-'98 back it all up.

I also remember that Orlando was the second best team in the east for a few of those years and they were barely an above .500 away team. Ususally the great teams have good away records to go along with their homecourt dominance.

Teams in the 90's knew how to play great fundamental basketball too. Nowadays its about crossovers and dunks, most players in that era can make an open jumper, play good team defense, good half court offense...a lot of teams that are praised nowadays can't do any of those things
