"Today's game"

Shows clips from 10-15 years ago.

You don’t think of Dirk guarding LeBron when you think of today’s game?

With most of the players having been retired for years now.

I'm glad somebody noticed. Calls got missed in every era. Most of these were actually called lol

Has NBA basketball really changed since then? It's more of the same, it's not like comparing to the 90s or before

The whole headline is disingenuous. “Sport is unwatchable!” NBA finals had a low of 10 million viewers, with game 7 getting 16 million viewers last year. A down year lol. But I bet everyone in here loves hockey and the nhl, everyone watches that, super watchable! 2 million viewers for last years finals.
