Mada je realno bas tesko porediti ljude koje em nisam podjednako gledao em su igrali sasvim razlicite igre u razlicitim periodima...

Lebron James - "Hopefully the league can figure out one way where it can go back to the '80s where you had three or four All-Stars, three or four superstars, three or four Hall of Famers on the same team," James said. "The league was great. It wasn't as watered down as it is [now]."

Charles Oakley - "It was a different era, though. Defense was different. I mean, even though (Jordan) got a lot of points, he worked for them... (Today's game) is way softer."

Shaquille O'Neal - "The way the game is played now, Imma go on the record and say it was soft. When we all played it was a little bit harder, but before us that was really playoff basketball."

Magic Johnson - “If I played in this era, it would be over,” said Johnson. “See right now, there is no hand check. Back in my day, you could hand check. You could hard foul.“ Could you imagine Michael Jordan with no hand checking? Larry Bird?”

Gary Payton cited the younger generation, the NBA lockout in 1999, and rule changes as contributing factors to how the point guard position and style of play has changed from his own era. “It’s the way our kids are brought up,” Payton said. “You guys have to understand, basketball has changed."

“They had to build it up after the first strike. Basketball was down a little bit. David Stern did a great job of bringing basketball back because he knew kids wanted to see run-and-gun. They didn’t want to see defense like the Knicks were doing. Slowing the ball down, setting up defenses and stuff like that and running plays. Kids weren’t doing that in the playgrounds. So we sped the game up, and that’s what the kids liked. They liked to see dunking, they like to see running, they liked to see scoring and that’s just the way it went.”
