Will modern sports ever match the talent and magic of the late 80s/early 90s?

No, because you grew up
>>64170601
No, some of those guys are legitimately considered the greatest of all time: Jordan, Montana, Gretsky, Bird
>Patrick Kane (goat season this year)
>Steph Curry (future goat)
>Bryce Harper (future goat)
>John Cena (obviously goat)
>Tom Brady (goat already)
>Cam Newton (19-0 this season)
Yeah we got them beat already
>>64170745
Of those, only Brady will match OP's list
Hi grandpa
gretzky will never be matched, his point records are simply ludicrous
>>64170651
And some of the guys today are considered the greatest of all time. Again, you grew up.
Nah, there won't ever be.
>>64170778
John Cena will be Ric Flair tier if he isn't already. Curry could very likely be up there too, maybe even Bird level.
>Hulk Hogan
>Andre the Giant
>Macho Man
>Ultimate Warrior
bunch of geeks desu
Every new generation will surpass the last simply because of the medical advance.
Athletes these days get literally engineered to become the best in their respective sport.

Who?! The Post

Doesn't mean they're better. I seriously doubt anyone from the next generation of footballers will match or be better than Messi.
>>64170562
>>Andre the Giant
>>Ultimate Warrior
>talent
Nope. Just look at Lebron. He was supposed to be the next MJ but that's never gonna happen now.
>>64172229
I would bet my fortune on it. Maybe not as entertaining but definitely better in terms of endurance speed & technique.
>>64170562
Only if you find a way to be a kid again
messi
tom brady
lebron
are among the greats on your list.

>wrestling
>>64172955
except football is not a sport you can dominate with athleticism
>>64174436
Well no but at some point there will be someone as talented as Messi and receive a state of the art training from young age.
>>64174540
maybe but it might as well take 100 years
>>64174619
Nah, maybe 1-2 generations at max.
>>64174667
I hope he's american
>>64170562
>american flag
>still no tyson
What the fuck honkey.
>>64170562
Don't forget Elway and Marino
>>64171048
Not by anyone with reasonable sense.
No because internet, twitter, etc. There's no magic anymore when you can wake up, roll over to your phone and stalk what your favorite athlete had for breakfast this morning.
