The nba expansion argument doesn't make sense.

Unless your arguing for a player pre expansion. Why do bron or kobe stans use it? The same benefits mj got from league expansion they got the same and actually a bit more. The argument of expansion watering down the league still applies decades later. If you eliminate 7 teams right now the remaining teams would automatically get better and there woukd be 84 players that aren’t good enough to be in the nba.

The only other argument that can be used is that players were taken off of teams for the expansion draft but who were these great players that got drafted? Who's the best player that got drafted? I bet nobody knows without looking it up. There were no key players that got drafted. The draft really didn't effect much.
