One of the reasons this is happening though is because of the whole Age 24 thing.
The vast majority of players in the 90's went through several years of college and came to the NBA around age 22 or 23. So they weren't peaked at age 24.
But with LBJ, Deron, DWade, etc etc all coming into the NBA @ 18,19,20. They have peaked much earlier.
