This may sound somewhat strange, or perhaps just obvious. The NBA has always been the world’s greatest basketball league and has thus always featured the most talented players in the world. Different eras of the NBA, however, have come to be known by different defining characteristics. The 1980s and early ‘90s are remembered for high-end rivalries between established teams thriving on continuity and leadership from future Hall-of-Famers. The ‘90s, as a whole, are remembered as the era of Michael Jordan in his prime, a singular superstar the rest of the league was fighting to keep up with. The late ‘90s and early aughts are associated with a relative dearth of star power following Jordan’s reign, as well as a chaotic influx of “prep-to-pro” players entering the league straight out of high school. In the later aughts and early 2010s, though, a new wave of NBA stars took the reins and steered the league back toward what many saw as a more entertaining brand of basketball. Kobe Bryant became the most awe-inspiring individual talent since Jordan. An elite upper tier of league point guards emerged, with the likes of Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Steve Nash, Tony Parker, Rajon Rondo, and even a late-career Jason Kidd engineering efficient and thrilling basketball. Nash and Parker in particular helped the Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs to effectively modernize offense.
