The NBA has not progressed

Since the article has been removed from ESPN, here's the main reason:

NBA basketball has reverted to the superstar formula. As Riley put it so well after Wade's shot in Game 5 that forced overtime, "There was no Plan B."

Pistons fans must concur. Think 2004 Finals: Team vs Assembly of Stars.

The Whole Package

Greatness can be that way. To have the single-minded drive to be the best also means that you're going to probably be deficient in one way or another.
