Outside of the fact that there are too many teams, the death of the NBA began when they started allowing the zone defense to creep into the NBA. If I remember correctly, people like dirk and Nash were getting destroyed on defense because they couldn't keep up in man to man. I really wish those days were back. Maybe I would be able to watch now. Maybe I am also suffering from post-Jordan syndrome.

I just felt like back in the 90s 85% of the teams were worth watching. Now it's like 35%. Maybe I have just grown away from the sport.

Any thoughts?
