I think the average guys are more athletic now with less basketball skills than the old guys. and its not close.

I agree, also Lance Stephenson is highly, and I mean highly overrated.

Don't know if this counts, but i think people are to quick to buy into popular opinions these days, especially if they keep hearing it said on nbatv or espn. Their more likely to take it as law if its a negative on a player. Example, westbrook purposely taking shots from durant, rose showing no heart to play in 2012 season, dwight not trying during his year with the lakers, etc. I feel people should put more effort into making there own assumption, rather than just taking sportscenters word as law.

What does this even mean? What basketball skills are worse these days?

Gilbert Arenas would have been better than D-Wade if it were not for injuries.

Well, you certainly took the unpopular opinion idea and ran with it.

Lol. He would not have been the winner D-Wade is, but if we're talking flat out hooping, I'd go with Gil.

I'm assuming he meant fundamentals.
