Humans always err toward superlatives.
Okay, humans tend to err toward superlatives. The NBA playoffs happening right now are a reminder that with each sports season come new narratives. Everything has to fit into the context of history, and the things that are happening right now loom largest in our minds. Depending on who you ask, Nikola Jokiu0107 is the best center in basketball/this decade/this millennium/in basketball history. Likewise, every great catch in a baseball game could be the best catch ever, or the best catch in franchise history, or even just the best catch this season.
