Basketball depends on it's players to be dramatic and marketable. If a modern day Wilt Chamberlain showed up all the other basketball players would rally against him and probably quit, if the league didn't find a way to exile that player.

What are you talking about? Shaq was a force like that. Lebron is a much better player and more successful and dominant than Wilt.

No okay see this is that bs dominance I was talking about.

I mean like if a superhero came down and started playing sports, we would watch them play pretty much any sport other than basketball because it would be total bullshit and noone would want to watch it. Kinda like how it is now where noone plays defense and guys like Ja Morant just score, gain notoriety, and then try to sell themselves outside of the sport moreso than in it.

So what's real dominance, then? Not winning as many games?

Haha. NBA defense has never been better than it is right now. All the rules favor the offense and almost every player can shoot. The schemes are far more complex than they were 20 years ago. You clearly don't like the game and don't know what you're talking about.

See but this is the bs thing I'm talking about, you guys say defence has never been better yet scores have never been higher and this is the decade of basketball where guys will literally just let people score and give 0 effort into block shots or stealing balls.

I think you guys know what your talking about but you just make shit up for some dumb reason. I played basketball more than any other sport in my youth, I know bad defense and lazy play when I see it.
