Back in the 90s, you typically had a higher view of the court, which made you see more of the spacing and plays, while today they have a much lower camera angle, which makes the game seem more chaotic.

They probably did that because you were watching on a square CRT screen at 480p and it was harder to tell one pixel from the other if the camera was lower. Now every is rocking at least a cheap 55 inch screen or higher.
In any case I could care less, 1080p and 4K resolutions have been a great upgrade compared to CRT technology. I'll take the worse camera angles if that means we get high definition. I like to be able to see Jimmy Butler walk to the bench and see that he shit himself.

You can always hope and dream. Maybe technology will get advanced enough where you can pick camera angles on live broadcasts?

I think OP is wrong about the close-up shots - everything about today's camera footage is worse.
