I really think that has a lot to do with a salary cap - no great dynasties and a lot of mediocre to crappy teams
No. I really think it's turned into a league of "just throw/give the ball to your biggest guy and watch him go," kinda league now. Reminds me of the games I used to play in my back yard when nobody could cover Paul because he was 6'6" and the next tallest guy was 6'1" (and he was the quarterback). It also reminds me of why I stopped watching the NBA.
