1990s NBA teams vs Current teams.

[NormanConnors]

Now I KNOW cats didn't watch the NBA back then as much as they claim. KJ was an injury waiting to happen and the fact he was able to play through a couple of seasons injury free was a surprise to most people because most of us were holding our breath every game he played.

No way was he better than Curry.

Wasn't Curry injury prone? And how do we know he won't be injury prone again?

For a few years there it was lookin like Steph wasn't gonna be able to get past those ankle injuries..

the 90's sonics under today's rules would still be killing shyt today. nikkas is wildin.

kemp at the 5, two stretch 4's in detlef schrempf and sloppy ass sam perkins, one of the OG 3/D players in nate mcmillan. GP would have free reign to the rim.

Teams would just go at Schrempf on the perimeter

Think about either Perkins or Detlef having to guard Barnes, Bron, Green, etc any of the guys being put at the small ball 4 right now. That is what makes the whole going small shyt so dangerous now, we're approaching a place where the guy who is at the 4 can go off the dribble, defend his position and then hit the 3.

Lowe just did a really good piece on how teams want playmaking 4s now, the whole "Stretch 4" that can only shoot is about to go the way of the dinosaur.

If Kyle Korver could be "hidden" on defense why couldn't detlef?

He could not shoot the NBA three

The blue highlight is for the years with the short 3 point line, he was a starter for 2 full seasons and shot 32% from 3 the year before they moved the line in. He didn't even want to take the three until they moved the line into 22 feet He was a prolific 3 point shooter in college, that did not carry over to the NBA.

So his rookie year and.2 years is enough to know if a great shooter could adjust over his career to the 3 point line in a era where 3's are the MAIN focus. Okay. I disagree that he wouldn't of adjusted in today's era. He may have never gotten over .400 but he's get up enough shots where it wouldn't matter. He can get off his shot so he'd be hitting that mid that so many lack in todays game. Dude would be beast in today's era.

Perkins was playin C and he was on that pick and pop 3 shyt..His slow ass wouldn't be guarding any swingmen

Detlef would be the slow footed 3 and Kemp would be the 4

What about the Pacers squads with Derrick McKey? They were stacked also

Korver wasn't hidden on defense in the playoffs, teams went at that muthafukka every chance they got

He played 2 full seasons as a starter, and was 24 at the time he shot 32% from 3


A shooter is a shooter from day 1, Curry came into the league as a 44% 3 point shooter. You're really not thinking this through clearly, we have clear numbers that show he didn't get particularly good at shooting the 3 until the line was closer, why is that?

 

[Rakim Allah]

The fog of nostalgia, he couldn't make the 23'9" regulation NBA three, nothing you say can disprove that fact.

@Rakim Allah said he'd win 5 straight scoring titles today that is nostalgia.

That's Mahmoud nostalgia not 90s...fuc that era. I was putting a lot on it for sure but so were you with Brandon Jennings.

Chris couldn't score? He would at least be over 20 points a game in this non physical area with more creative offensive schemes

To be fair, alot of us are surprised that Steph has made it Injury Free these past 2 seasons

Their frontcourt in the NBA today would run into the same problems the Grizz have.

He'd be over 20ppg, yet he played on teams that played at a pace nobody in the NBA today plays at...and couldn't score 20ppg then.

Yall are just saying shyt to say it at this point, if he couldn't score 20ppg with a team that didn't give a shyt about playing defense, and let you basically run down the court and take the first shot available he wouldn't score 20ppg today in a league that plays at a much slower pace.

Inefficient small chucker, they're all the same to me :Hannibron:

I'd agree with you if Mahmoud wasn't a shooter.

He was a shooter in College, nothing backs up the idea he was a shooter in the league when he had to take them manly 23'9" threes

I fukk with him for his stance on the anthem, but he wasn't that good of a player or shooter in the league
