4:10 and forward
For those who don't want to watch..
White man: Why are guys getting so many triple doubles?
Harden: Players are just getting better
Isiah: Totally agree, this generation's players are expanding the boundaries of the imagination and doing things we've never seen
Salute to this legend for being real and not being a bitter old man, tbh..

Isiah was actually great at evaluating talent with the Raptors and Knicks, just a shitty GM at every other facet:lol..
Players that were drafted while he was running the show: Damon Stoudamire, Tracy McGrady, Marcus Camby, Trevor Ariza, Channing Frye, David Lee, Wilson Chandler..all those guys were productive players who had long careers..
His only misses were Renaldo Balkman and Michael Sweetney IIRC..he was just really bad at signing players, making trades, etc..

the game has never been as fast and as formulaic, so it's normal that stats would be inflated. OTOH, it makes Wilt's numbers much more important, therefore making everyone look like scrubs in comparison.

Perimeter skills of big men are most definitely better in :lol today's NBA, but post play is just horrendous now. The rules opened up the perimeter and as a result, moved the game to the perimeter. We are finally seeing the results about a decade and a half or so after the rule changes because the kids all embraced it and have been trained with those rules since they were in grade school.
The ironic thing is, while the fans of :wow yesterday NBA like to point out how crap a product :lol today's NBA is, it was Jordan who created it. And for how much :lol today's NBA fans like to make fun of how Jordan got preferential treatment in the rough and tumble 90s, that drew the template for the rule changes out in the perimeter so all perimeter players get preferential treatment in :today's NBA.

Jordan destroyed everything lol
Teams actually moved the ball before his arrival tbh
No one plays defense couple with up tempo offense means stats. But :lol Wilt... anyone who think people today are stat padding need to look at Wilt's numbers.

:lol And mainstream fans still actually think he's the GOAT. You can't ruin your sport and be the GOAT, it just doesn't work that way.

Jordan was a 1 on 1 baller and he was good
But GOATs make their teams better, and he never did
