What are some major things that changed over time such that you will never know unless you lived through that time?
Obviously speaking from just a single player's pov.
Ron Artest was just a defensive player.
No he wasn't. In Indiana before Malice at the Palace, he was the key offensive option on a Pacers team coming off 60 wins and expected to at least make the ECF.Ray Allen was merely a shooter.
Jesus Shuttleworth was a high-flying rim attacking guard coming into the league and actually participated in the slam dunk contest.
