The watered down 1990s was a huge step down from the great 1970s/80s basketball era. Greats like Kareem-Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Julius Erving, Bernard King, Larry Bird, Robert Parish, Kevin Mchale, George Gervin, etc. Jordan was a stand out star in a weak 1990s era featuring 6 expansion teams.
