it doesnt really. the milkmen and plumbers narrative is about the relative athletic level of the league and the general skill level. yes, rules made it harder back then, including stricter carry calls that have vanished over time especially post-iverson. but guys back then could barely shoot farther than a free throw
The issue with superstar calls is like the max salary. It started off the the best of the best and then it trickles down to the stars, semi stars and finally everyone.
Offensive contact initiation, moving screens, carry, travels and rip throughs caused the problems and made the game unwatchable all at the same time. Get rid of them all.
Just make the court bigger and extend the three-point line. The current court was made for players of an average 6'2 height. Adapt to the evolution of size and skill, don't tinker with rules. It's a beautiful game right now.
It's the damn rules. Supposedly they are some of the best athletes ever so let the athletes on defense thrive as well!
well at least we don't need to throttle our offense. We barely score 100 points
Good for us unless we trade for the midget.
