@MazeMusiq@budgetcaillou@kyriewolves@unscannyx People don’t understand how the game was back then. The pace, the floor spacing. 2 guards had to do that. Kobe sometimes shot over triple teams unnecessarily and settled for bag shots but still he did need to carry the load
@budgetcaillou@kyriewolves@unscannyx A lot of players don’t have the ability to go 15-35 and score 45 against tough defense in big games. Self creating offense as a primary option demands high level skill. MJ was the only one on his team who could consistently do that
@TreWorld314@iHateMilan@kiw6667@Bruce_Lee_Royy No doofus it means the comp was harder. Kobe won 1 MVP Bc the comp was harder. Karl Malone won 2 mvps averaging like 26-9 shooting only middies and free throws 😭
@Kashwayj1@adambeanlin@haiti4eva Facts and I know what you mean. Like Power forwards in the 90s didn’t have the Aaron Gordon bags. But i think Drummond and Lopez prove the point of anyone can evolve if asked. Thats why i take this position. 80s & 90s guys never got a chance to evolve but i bet they could
@Kashwayj1@adambeanlin@haiti4eva I think it’s more skill utilization vs actual abilities. Curry could always shoot. But he wouldn’t be known as the shooter he currently is if Mark Jackson stayed his coach.
A lot of 80s/90s coaches weren’t tryna innovate they just wanted to be traditional
@Billssuperbowl0@haiti4eva I’m never gonna admit that Bam is better than guys like Patrick Ewing bc he takes 3s. Allen, Kristaps, Zubac aren’t event athletic. Diabate can’t even guard 7 footers. Center is the worst it’s ever been bc teams just want to shoot. That’s why guards and wings are better now.
@Billssuperbowl0@haiti4eva I mean you just exposed yourself right there. You weren’t religiously watching basketball in the era we were discussing. That’s why I’m saying just learn bro. Get educated and you will sound less crazy. Don’t guess and presume. LEARN how and why things happened! PLEASE
@Billssuperbowl0@haiti4eva Those players all played at the same time you retard.
Dudes like you suck man. You watch 3 highlights and think you know everything. Ask more questions. Think analytically and just get smarter. At some point we just have to do that as a society
@Billssuperbowl0@haiti4eva Bro post players aren’t better today than post players 30 years ago.
You have 4 great post players today: Jokic, Wemby, Embiid and KAT.
Hakeem, Kareem, Shaq, Ewing Robinson, Duncan, Malone, Barkley, etc were way better than post players today.
@Billssuperbowl0@haiti4eva Is their post game better? Is their footwork better? Is their defense shot blocking and rebounding better? You are moving the goalpost. All you are saying is guys dribble more and shoot more things and you disregard every other skill 😂
@Billssuperbowl0@haiti4eva My point is the style of the game changed. Centers aren’t better now than the 80s and 90s. Wings are bc teams play from the perimeter.
Coaches utilize players better which allows for more adaptation. But that doesn’t speak to individual player ability
@McPhailRobert1@adambeanlin@haiti4eva Yeah the rules created a more lateral aesthetically pleasing game. But it doesn’t mean that guys like Kenny Anderson and and mookie blaylock couldn’t do it. It’s more style than skill.
@Billssuperbowl0@haiti4eva You don’t know how to read do you:
Read the weight for 1993. Then read the weight for 2025.
Read it very very slow and even multiple times
@djdredfoxx@mindyours0488@frankfracker@WesJF @daniellee0615 @ALLICONICSPORTS Facts sometimes it’s just not your night. There’s a mental component to sports that has to be factored into the strategy. Rhythm, flow state, all of that matters. Hot players need to shoot until they cool off
@Billssuperbowl0@haiti4eva It’s relative to play style. Safeties are faster today bc they need to cover more ground bc teams play through the air more. But they aren’t bigger/stronger or better tacklers than safeties 30 years ago who had to stop the run.
NBA C’s aren’t as big/strong today like the 90s
