I'm showing my age but I dont recall players in the 80's and 90's hugging each other to the degree of today's players. Shaking hands, yes but these players are too friendly! To me, when it's a true rivalry or opponent, a player will try harder verses just playing a game, you're just playing a game. And to me that is what I see mainly in Jalen Green. He's just playing a game. I've never seen that DAWG , that FIGHT in him like Kobe and Jordan! When you're best player does it, the others will follow.
I also enjoyed the advancement compared to the 90s. I am okay with Smartphone now, not quite AOL Internet....
