It's hard to say if the NBA is hurt by the influx of younger players, but it's definitely impacted the league.

Michael JordanMaybe itโs my own fault. Maybe I led you to believe it was easy when it wasnโt. Maybe I made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. Maybe I made you think that every shot I took was a game winner. That my game was built on flash, and not fire. Maybe itโs my fault that you didnโt see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. Maybe I led you to believe that basketball was a God given gift, and not something I worked for every single day of my life. Maybe I destroyed the game. Or maybe youโre just making excuses.
