4 Reasons The NBA Sucks More After The Jordan Era
You
don’t have to be a rocket scientist to notice a drop in talent and the NBA
itself is taking notice due to lack of viewership and ticket sales in certain
markets. And any person born from 1970 and later that was a fan before and after the
Jordan Era will give you a foot note to conclude their observation as well.

Bad Talent Scouting
Over the last two decades the NBA
has allowed a lot of draft busts and allowed a lot of players that would have a
hard time making a high school B team let alone the NBA.

Although it is hard to tell how one
player or another will perform versus how they played In high school or
college, the sink and swim style of the NBA is a make it or break philosophy that
as of late is hurting their image. During the high performance players in the
80’s and 90’s that has a lot of people arguing 80's and 90's players in their prime would
beat current talents of the present due to their high level of fundamentals,
talent and work ethic.
The NBA in the last decade have been
trying to make basketball and international competition by promoting games
outside the USA and recruiting talent overseas.

Banking On Future Talent Before They Prove Themselves
After the Jordan era big contracts
became the norm throwing out Dollars like they were monopoly money, when the
Best players of all time were getting paychecks similar to today’s bench
players.
Leaving Teams and owners the
hardiest task to deal with a high price bust they have to keep or trade because
they bet the farm on a player that is putting up bench player numbers not
franchise player numbers or better.
It seemed like the owners and
managers who were trying to lobby the free agent market after clubs were hoping
to try to get LeBron James and Chris Bosh who were currently in free agency
tried to save face by offering the other players large contracts to save their
reputation which ultimately destroyed it even more with the large contracts of
those players during that Free Agency year in 2010.

Disposing Veteran Players to Quick
One the back drop of all major
sports is the grooming and mentoring of younger inexperienced players by older
veterans of the sport. The NBA approach of new players from NBA Draft Picks and
Free Agency, that replenish teams like a meat market inventory, pushes player
out the league like meat in a grinder after there are less desirable.
So that leads to a powder keg of
talented players being left alone to groom themselves into whatever role that is
unfilled. Creating an environment of talented players with lack of
fundamentals, Ball handling, Court vision, Dribbling, Passing, and shooting.

#1. Allowing Players to Make Instant
Riches To avoid College
Does anyone want to make 10 times
what your college professor would be making if you were even in school?
Although I can’t blame the decision
It’s something that the NBA has made convenient for players to exploit even
initiating the “No straight to NBA from High school clause in 2006” after LeBron James and others left straight
from prom and graduation to the NBA. Even after 1 year in College or for some
playing overseas not much room for growth and development that players and the
80’s and 90’s were accustomed too.

which is the NBA’s unofficial farm system other than the NBDL.
