this.

arenas forgets.
he lost all that rampup up guy pass energy.
from being a bust.
when he lost his position in the league the way he did. Then was clowned by female after female consistently.
we only even tolerate bert cause he bossed up after the fact on some females. He not the gilbert who was a bust and then made it.
this is a fool with a high PAID corporate job gambling with coworkers on bullsh

after this nonsense.
  1. I really can not even validate his content like that anymore. As he does not really know wtf he portrays he knows.

anyone with a ball iq can watch film and see he is wrong.
this whole new school act.
like they watched film like Tyson with cus is a lie.


you motherfukkers ain't dug in no crate.

Stop it.
y'all new gen goes to a sports camp in a country club or aau practice.

y'all not even smart enough to start at Michael Jordan bulls year one game one.

let alone bird and magic just for starters.
yet the people in the know supposed to let you have a seat at the table and we know you do not know.
just off hoop'n alone.
that type of thinking was never allowed play on the big court.
to get on the big court you better know the game and show you know it or you won't be on the big court. Simple as that.

you young nikkaz would be on the side.
watching a little nikka like me playing with giants. Simply cause you not fooling nobody with this headfake like you bullshyt.

Grant Hill back in the day was really fukking nice bro. Maybe as good as LeBron, KD, Kobe, or Harden are now brodie. Probably not better than any of them, but they're all on the same tier. Let's not act like this is an outrageous take.

Also from the way old heads tell it, hand checking was still widely used back then and was used as a crutch by defenders, making them look a lot better than they were. MJ defensively would be Tony Allen today with more shotblocking. I think Pippen's defense today would be a lot better than MJ's, and he'd also probably win at least one Defensive Player of The Year Award.

I don't think Gilbert was putting them down as defenders. I'm sure he still thinks they'd make multiple All-Defensive teams each. It's just that in MJ and Pippen's runs they weren't facing Wade, Kobe, Harden, KD, LeBron, PG, Melo, Giannis, Kawhi, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Donovan Mitchell, DeMar DeRozan and CJ McCollum every 2nd game. Let's not forget all the Point Guards I didn't list, that MJ and Pip would inevitably have to cover every few games.

Grant hill had a good game aganist Scottie now suddenly Scottie couldn’t be a great defender today? :mjlol:

Grant used to abuse Pippen all of the time just like Mashburn was Grant's kryptonite.

Only issue I have with what Arenas said is that aside from Bron, Grant is better than all of the 10.0's he is talking about. Dude was an all time talent that could shoot with an elite mid range included. His 3 ball was developing up until injury.

This is a lie. Their stats were basically even, and Grant Hill’s teams have only beaten Pippen’s teams twice out of 14 games played.

The NBA has always had unstoppable elite players. Is he saying Grant Hill would be the average player today? Also he failed to show the score. Hills teams were losing & he was carrying them on his back so the highlights are good.

Pretend like a 6'8 20 year old Grant Hill with a Tim duncan level of fundamental skill and all around game is a slouch brehs


also pretend like getting buckets and "dominating" is the same as winning brehs
