Well when you put it that way...
I will say this: Basketball used to have 5 very different positions with very different roles. These days the game is all about the 3 ball and roles are much more vague and not so defined. As a big NBA fan, it's been disappointing to say the least. Like the NFL, they have put all the emphasis on offense. Money ruins everything. Or I suppose you could blame casual fans.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
