I was watching some highlights earlier today and it got me thinking about how we define "history." It seems like every other week there's some new statistical milestone or a record being shattered that people are losing their minds over.
Don't get me wrong, I love seeing athletes push the limits. It’s inspiring. But sometimes I wonder if we're getting too obsessed with the numbers and the "firsts" instead of just enjoying the actual flow of the game. We spend so much time debating who did what faster or who hit a certain mark, and then the moment passes and we move on to the next trivia fact.
It feels like the bar for "legendary" status is being redefined every single season. I remember back in the day, certain milestones felt like they would stand for decades. Now, it feels like the landscape is shifting so fast that records are becoming almost disposable.
Do you guys think we're over-indexing on these individual milestones, or is this just the natural evolution of how we appreciate high-level talent?
