Have slow twitch fiber/dad bod Luka and Jokic changed your opinion on what Larry Bird would do in today’s league?

Larry Birds game translates to any era. Him and Luka have a similar mentality/mean streak that also translates. Drew League, Rucker, NBA. Wouldn't matter

larry bird would have no problem going to the hood, lighting everyone up while talking hella shyt the entire time.

No. I figured Larry Bird would be a hall of famer in most any era.

When the Warriors run was beginning, there were A LOT of people saying Bird would be too slow footed to play in the modern league, which was stupid.

Now the same people gonna rewrite history and pretend like it was always about being skilled



DURING THAT SAME TIME
THEY SAID SHAQ WOULD BE
TOO SLOW FOOTED TO PLAY
IN THIS ERA WHILE
PAO GASOL AND ZAZA PACHUIAH
WERE THE STARTING CENTERS
IN THE WCF


:devil:

It makes all the "players too fast now,players too athletic now" post look funny in the light:patrice:?


Always seemed suspect to me anyway. This aint the nfl where guys are running their full speed. You can only run so fast while dribbling a basketball stupid. Even with the ridiculous ammount of leeway for traveling these days:mjlol:


Having the handle that allows you to maintain dribble while running super fast is what matters,not the speed itself. And the handle is a skillset.

And backpeddling,while being comprimised by picks,plus overcommitting based on a fake or handle seriously limits how much your speed matters on defense. Its proving how much watching film,knowing your opponent and skills mattered.

He would have better nutrition and training. Think of a smaller more athletic slightly worse shooting but way more skilled Dirk.
