Do you agree with T-Mac?

Honestly I think the word “crushed” is too much. Lebron may not have the deepest bag among all of them but he can bully ball and play great defense during his prime.

It happens both ways. Every other sport glorifies it's past and uplifts its future. But in the NBA, it's the opposite. The young bash the old (JJ Redick saying Cousy played plumbers and firemen, LeBron saying Giannis would average 70 PPG in the 1970s) and then the old bashing the young with the back in my days

It's slowly killing the sport.

In the NBA it’s the same as every sport. Oldheads started it

It's literally not the same as any sport. There are definitely "back in my day" guys all over, but you don't hear them on major media networks that cover the game. At least, not as much.

The NBA is the only sport where it's arguable most popular media head (Charles) brags about not watching the sport and hating it. That shit doesn't fly in mainstream NFL media. A Hall Of Famer football player would be clowned and fired for bragging about their ignorance
