If You Think It Looks Better, Just Say That

Might Be More Aesthetically Pleasing, But That Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Better

With its fast pace, high scores, and three-point shootouts, the modern NBA undeniably looks better to many fans. And that’s fine! If you prefer watching today’s version of the game, there’s no shame in saying it, but let’s be real, just because it’s more visually appealing doesn’t automatically make it superior to past eras.

Sure, today’s game is designed for speed, space, and offense, but that’s largely because of rule changes aimed at making it more entertaining. This doesn’t mean the quality of the game has drastically improved or that players from the 1990s were somehow less athletic or skilled. It’s just different.

If you enjoy today’s NBA because it’s more exciting to watch, that’s cool, don’t confuse aesthetics with overall greatness. What’s appealing isn’t necessarily better; it’s just what appeals to you.
