Were folks who liked and identified with A.I. tired of him missing considerably more jumpshots than he made? Or was he celebrated as an icon? All those games where he'd chuck up long 2s, shooting 5-27, 6-24, 7-23, 8-26 etc, and yet his style of play was idolized.

He was a straight-up inefficient scorer, but yet cats embraced him because of his narrative that they identified with.

You say you don't have an issue with where players come from, but you inadvertently admitted you do, hence saying the European way of playing the game has run its course.

This is what we call projection.

The reality is because y'all hate the Warriors and the way they play, and because they have dominated the last decade, it's had y'all picking up your ball and heading back to the crib. Y'all shamelessly shyt on today's game and hold onto the past because y'all are "homers" of players, teams and a product that no longer exists.

It's less me defending the 3-pt shot, and more me pointing out how y'all criticisms of it are based on being brought on a different style of play.

Past generations, who grew during the 60s, 70s, 80s etc didn't like the 90s product, because it was different to what they knew. The exact same thing is happening now. Why do y'all act like y'all are any different? As if this is the first time in the league's history where a portion of a generation don't like the style of play?

If the 3-pt boom came into existence during the 90s, with Kobe and the Lakers winning by that method, your shameless ass would have no problem with the 3-pt shot today.

That's not what you think it means. You quoted someone speaking specifcially about me, and you added to what they were saying about me. I merely responded. All too hilarious considering how all y'all are saying in the next breath that I'd be avoiding this thread.

Y'all cats are far too dumb and lack self-awareness to strike anything but yourselves.

And like I said my g, Jokic and the Nuggets are doing EXACTLY that, but nobody is talking about them bringing real hoops back.

I know a player who plays in Milwaukee who wears number 34 the Coli should love, doesn't shoot 3s, gets most his points within 3 feet of the bucket, and plays hard defensively, not sure people have heard of him though:patrice:

And you’re telling me I don’t know how to use words :mjlol:?

You literally butchered the fukk out of the term projection :mjlol:

you’re just triggered that you got read to a tee :umad:

What I said still stands . Your motivation for anything 3point related is only because your Warrior bias. You aren’t as smart as you think you are and you aren’t some great basketball mind . You’re what I’ve always said you are . A try-hard who posts word-salads.

Alot of yall posting dumbshyt. There was bad basketball in the 90s. Handchecking ain't gonna do shyt.

There was some god awful basketball back then. I've posted numerous times how the 90s Knicks were fukking terrible to watch.

Biggest problem are players sitting out constantly.

Only way they can fix that is by having non granted contracts but the players union won't have that.

All Silver should do right now is eliminate the corner 3
