Generational Difference in Hoopers

[Controversy]

fukk a step back

do a fadeaway like a real man

the young nikkas don't know how to generate the power from the legs on a fadeaway..it's all arms

stepbacks are so dainty

its like a ballet move

Kemba, Curry, and Bron played a role in this as well. If you're comfortable taking a stepback most people really can't guard you

Stepbacks between mid-range and deep have a huge difference in the amount of work put in

let these weak bodied young kids stepback all day and go 3-20

This is every hooper now. The midrange was there yet he forced the Harden stepback

He doesn't have the ability to do the math on that mid range shot on the move

These retarded kids step back for that reason, to get a two foot reset squared to the rim


They literally play like girls

All I do to defend is swipe down at them to throw off their rhythm

When they miss they be like "I sold"

Devin Booker would've thrived in the 90's.

I love watching him and CJ McCollum

because they know how to operate and

create space on all levels.If I'm just street

balling, those are the two guys I'd try to

emulate for the new generation.If I'm

thinking NBA, it'll be Steph, or Dame...

but yeah, McCollum & Booker know how

to execute below the 3pt line.Book can

even go to the post because he has the

size to take advantage of smaller guards.

He would've been superstar status in the

late 80's-mid 90's

You know what's funny?
I remember before Iverson, the crossover that people on the court used to do (or admire) was Tim Hardaway's.

I used to hear his name a lot on the playground.

I just added that to my game recently. I was playing in a rec league and everytime I broke it out it opened up a lane to the basket and I ain't even totally got my rhythm down on it all the way yet.

My biggest issue when playing was still fast breaks and folks not knowing how to run them any more. One play in particular was partially my fault for trying to get cute. We had a 4 on 2 going with two players filling the left lane, me in the center and another on the right. One defender was on the left so I took it straight at the other defender to force him to commit to me. Once I drew him in I laid down a bounce pass expecting the dude on the right to be running to the basket. This fukker had ran out to the three point line. Son wasn't even a good shooter.

This lil nikka nice dahell

 

[Draje]

But from what distance? A stepback three is a difficult shot...a stepback mid-range shot is a better shot

I’ll hit a step back three out of the triple threat but I primarily use it out of the post or midrange.

 

[MoneyBags]

I feel like Kob/MJ when I'm out there

The head fakes and ball shows get them every time

I had a youngin' jump 5 ft out of bounds today off a pump fake today when I was 6 ft from the basket

I then did a jab pump fake jab From the 3 pt line and made a Youngin stumble to the foul line

Yo, I was hooping last year, running full court with some younger players...they thought pump faking was illegal! I was pump faking these cats out they shoes, I pump faked a dude on a lay up so bad he went flying over me, did a half flip and landed on his back, got up and told me, "You can't be doing that move man, you gonna get someone hurt out here!"

He still gonna be. If he was playing with a real franchise he’d already be there. Imagine Book playing with a guy like Lebron. He’d be the shooting guard in the league

Hurt my foot going up for a rebound today

Took 10 mins off & miraculously came back like Willis Reed in the finals against the Lakers



even on one foot, post game was too strong

paying for it now tho
