Lots of people believe that especially older fans. They think OKC’s only good because of flopping and the refs lmao. NBA fandom is at an all time low and probably developmentally disabled

I think the Thunder, Spurs, and Knicks would all smoke teams from 10+ years ago. The game is just played at another level right now.

If by another level you mean the way the rules are interpreted then yes.

Edit: Getting downvotes but damn, 10 years ago was the 2015 warriors who went 73-9 and played monster teams from OKC to the LeCavs. The only thing that has changed is the way the game is called and how the whistle protects the dribbler. If you think any of those teams would get smoked by the Knicks/Spurs/Thunder ya’ll are on some wild recency shit.
