It's weak because only one team in the east ever had a realistic shot at the title and only 3 in the west did.

[QUOTE=WolfGang]I've been wondering why the league is so weak and I've come to a conclusion. The Superstars of the early 2000's are old men that can't keep up with the rookies now. [B]Great players[/B] like Chris Paul, T-Mac, Kobe, Wade, Carmelo, Gilbert Arenas, Tim Duncan, Ginobli, Nash, [B]Hedo Turkoglu[/B], Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, Dirk, Amare, Chris bosh and many many more big names with skill are nothing now. Well, Chris is still good but you get the point.
Most starters are really bench players waiting for the young talent to mature. Just think about how many medium to high Caliber players we've lost. The league won't be good until about 3-5 years.[/QUOTE]

The talent pool is better than ever but bball isn't just about natural talent. It's a mix of athleticism, skill, iq and desire. It's not a 100 meter dash where the most explosive athlete wins. If basic fundamentals like footwork, midrange game and post game aren't being stressed at the highest level, that filters down to the lower levels and dummies down the game to a 3 point contest and p&r game where iso skills aren't as crucial.

F**k what y'all talking bout. Turk was a menace in my eyes. Prime Turk would be a valuable piece on any team in today's league.
I'm just saying, We need time for the new guys to mature and take over.
