This is true wherever you go as different things and people are merely who and what they are because the trends and events of their time shaped them to be so. Think about it. If you imagine yourself living in a different generation say for example 50 years ago you would surely be someone a lot different than who you are today. That is what it means to be a product of your time.The same goes for the world of basketball. Players are merely a product of their time in the sense that they are shaped by the star players they look up to and by the trends in the biggest basketball leagues in the world. After all as they say basketball is a copycat sport. Younger players will always look up to the best players in the world and try to model their games after them. That is how most of the players of our time have been built.Kids who grew up during the 80s and the 90s wanted to be like Magic Johnson. That is why the NBA saw an influx of big guards during the 90s as Jason Kidd Penny Hardaway and Gary Payton all watched and learned from Magic. In the same way even bigger players playing different positions learned how to play that all-around style. Kevin Garnett idolized Magic Johnson more than any other player while he was growing up even though he played the power forward spot.In the 90s many kids began idolizing Michael Jordan. They loved that isolation style of basketball that saw them making a series of moves with their feet to get a difficult shot off over the outstretched arms of their defenders. The late great Kobe Bryant grew up watching Jordan and became the closest thing we could ever have to him. We also had a lot of high-scoring and high-flying wings such as Vince Carter Tracy McGrady and Paul Pierce playing stellar basketball during the 2000s precisely because they grew up during the Jordan era.Did you enjoy this excerpt?
