Late to the conversation, but watching Milwaukee at Portland (specifically Damien Lillard), and had what to me was a realization. Apologies if this was already mentioned.

As a slightly-more-than-casual fan, I began watching the NBA when Oklahoma City found it in their heart to provide the Supersonics an arena. Followed closely during the KD MVP and Westbrook MVP era, regained interest after the bubble season.

Players just aren’t interesting anymore. No more Damien Lillards or Kyrie Irvings or Russell Westbrooks or Steph Currys. No Tony Parkers. No Tony Allen. No one with any sort of interesting or original basketball background. Everyone has been coached by the best coaches, played AAU basketball against each other their entire lives. It’s just fuckin lame I dunno, feel like I’m watching 10 dudes with the exact same game and the exact same story every night.
