Kobe Bryant told the truth: “The rules of Michael Jordan’s era were tougher than those of LeBron’s era, and demanded a higher level of skill.” 🔥
“Today’s NBA is a finesse, small-ball game with extremely little physical contact. The flagrant-foul calls you see so often now make me sick.
I prefer the old-school physical basketball I grew up watching. Back then you had to beat a defender with a hand on you (hand-checking), so you needed the skill to drive both ways, change direction, post up, and play in the mid-range.
If you took it all the way to the rim, you could get knocked on your ass.
That’s why the game required more skill then. Now you aren’t even allowed to touch anybody, so anyone can get to the basket easily.
That’s why I think physicality should be brought back, including hand-checking. It would force players to develop real fundamentals and enough ball-handling to get past defenders. Compared with today’s NBA, European basketball is still more physical.”
— Kobe Bryant 🐍
NBA fans around the world 100% agree with Kobe. Coming from someone who played under both sets of rules, those words are plain fact.
Michael Jordan walked a far harsher path than the league LeBron played in, and set the greatest records in history.
He is the true GOAT.
@tRumpDestoyer@DiaryJackhole@turnthepages009@RealJamesWoods 🤣🤣 Huh? Clinton is a rapist, ask Juanita Broaddrick, and Biden a hair sniffing pedo, check his daughter’s diary, so……you should learn the definition of irony and maybe have someone read these before you post. If you were smart you’d know this.
@Dee11Fibre@SickingerD48347@Rest4Loop@kenswift@CBS@CBSSports He said nothing about firing anyone. Try and keep up. And using the term white privilege just shows a person can’t back up their opinion. So just scream “white privilege” to hide a lack of understanding of a topic or discussion. Total low IQ move.
@Alan_Covington@juanbustos@ClayTravis No value? Interesting angle. The league has operated at a loss and has been subsidized by the NBA the entire time. Using absurdity to show how illogical it is for the WNBA to say biological men should be able to play is not hard to understand.
@VictorAbundis00@ClayTravis Yet they want to disrespect women by allowing men to play against them. And by their saying there is no difference between men claiming to be women and biological women. It’s done to prove a point.
@helloscottt@alonso_hoyt@TheModerateCase Your lack of understanding of the term and what conservatism truly means is quite glaring. Posting stuff like this just makes you look bad. Plus, you obviously have no clue about foreign policy if you think we are “wrecking everything”. Our job is to protect our citizens 😂
