Boooooooooooo
Bad take bad take.
50pts is not a "modern" fascination.
I clearly remember the collective shit old people took on themselves after Jordan's 63 in the garden. Or Isiahs 25 in the 3rd.
Both in losses. PLAYOFF losses at that.
It's not a "modern" anything
Here's what annoys me about modern basketball fans:
The NBA sent a push notification stating "Kyrie Irving dazzles with 50 in Nets debut." - Now that's cool and all, but they lost.
Winning isn't rewarded enough and great performances in losses seem to be more rewarded.
