The 90's era celebrated thier athletes..... This brought me back
The 90's had the epitome of skill mixed with raw athleticism
- Thread starter yeahman727
- Start date
they play sports all fuckin day..
what are you talkin about....
its just virtual sports...
Naw, the raw athleticism of todays athlete is superior. In the 90's I never saw a 6'10 forward with Durants ability
Two hand dunk from the free throw line?
Has that been done since?
Yeah in high school dunk contests today.
lol you name one dude and expect that to shit on an entire era. Give me 5 of today's athletes ..... And I'll just stick to basketball..... That can match with skill AND athleticism with jordan, vince, shawn kemp, david robinson, and karl malone...... NOBODY can fuck with a in prime Ken Griffey Jr, or a Barry Sanders..... Ken Lofton, Deon, man sit your ass down somewhere
Bro people just see what they want to. Today nba players are doing the same dunks in-game that won 90s players dunk contests, Vince Carter included. Dudes in high school are dunking from the fowl line. LeBron is the same size as Karl Malone and faster than most point guards in the 90s. Then we have dudes shooting jumpers from damn near half court.

Lol, why do old heads always get mad when you say todays athletes are more athletic than their childhood heroes. A old head at my job got mad when I didnt agree that 80's players like Doc and Magic were more athletic than todats athletes.
B-ball
Lebron is more athletic than everybody on that list not named Jordan. MJ is the goat and I'm not arguing against that.
Westbrook
Durant
Wall
Rose before he got hurt
Kyrie
Griffin
Zach Lavine and Aaron Gordon - Jordan is goat, but he wasnt dunking like them and neither was Vince.
Football:
We may never see anyone out do Barry Sanders. The game has changed and teams use dual backs but when you look at todays wr's they're much more athletic ex: Julio Jones, Antonio Brown
Even the o-linemen. Ex: A mediocre player like Jason Kelce is very athletic for a center. Eagles right tackle, Lane Johnson can ball. Dude is 6'6" 300+ and dunks on fools
I cant argue baseball because, besides 08, Ive barely watched that sport since the 90's
I did say combination of SKILL and ATHLETICISM...... ALL of the 90s players if/when they got hurt STILL gave starter numbers or towards thier retirement gave people trouble. Because thier SKILL was still undeniable...... Case in point kobe bryant, chris Webber, Reggie Miller, jason kidd I'm not even gonna mention football
If you went by just athleticism you could mention Mark ingram but Jerome Bettis shits on him 147%
