I'm upping this thread because I want to just sit this here

Here is Hakeem Olajuwon playing the pick and roll in the 1994 playoffs (this is the team that won the championship that year.....I don't think I've seen the Warriors play the PNR that poorly all year)



notice the lack of switching and how it leads to an easy basket

now here are the warriors....look at how fluid they are with their switches. It's effortless.





just an example of how people completely let nostalgia blind them to how much better defense is today.

You called it. A few weeks ago we had someone propping up the early 2000’s to defend Kidd and AI :hhh:
We also had people saying Kyle Lowry is better than Kidd

So what is your point:gucci:

There is a contingent on here that shyts on everything in the past

Also improved 3 point shooting is a product of the era's emphasis on it

MJ didn't even play with a 3 pt line until college

The problem with anti nastalgia/Bron stans is that they only apply context to present events. The fact they don't see this is hilarious:manny:

And they would be right.

:heh:
They have a deep sad need to belong... So everything in this gen is goat

:mjlol:
The "deep sad needs" really come those who're stuck in the past with their sporting schmaltz, which is why they overrate past eras because they don't want to let go of that part of their lives - it'd destroy all their childhood memories.
