Don’t co-sign retardation.

Nah. He is constantly getting handchecked while opposing defenders daring him to drive to the basket so a goon/enforcer can wallop him to educate him about driving the lane on them.

Almost different sport. A time when your typical NBA fan was also a hockey fan.

Handchecking was banned in 1979

Look it up

Nearly twenty nikkas dapped this shyt.

Y’all boys retarded.

I'm starting to get really sick of these old heads.. Y'all times have passed, the game has evolved, thanks for the memories.. now stfu

Those slow footed fat Euros dominating today dead that narrative that athletes back in the 80s wouldn't be able to play in the game today because they're not athletic enough

This isn't exactly true. You could still make physical contact you just couldn't impede progress. It wasn't actually banned until 2004.

Some players turned analyst handle the newfound fame well, see Tony Romo, Ryan Clark, Swagu. They remain the same version of what made them pop

Some tho…it quickly gets to their head. Kendrick Perkins was a favorite of mine for about a month bc he was funny…now he’s unwatchable thinking he’s always right, deebo’ing every debate, all while not even being able to get a coherent sentence out.

JJ Reddikk started as a breathe of fresh air to combat hot take culture….but now he’s just pompous and embarrassingly dikk rides the current players side in every debate. All while acting holier than thou, rolling his eyes n shyt

Slowly turning heel into the athletic skip espn always wanted. He’s white he went to nba. They gonna do SA like nba did Melo and west smh

You can watch these old games on YouTube. There's no excuse not to know this.

A lot of these dudes started watching ball in the last ten years and be talking out the side of they asses I've learned

JJ getting the baton toss from Stephen A's reign of terror is wild

Sam Cassell averaged his highest PPG at age 34. What’s your point?

And Hornacek averaged 17.6 PPG in the ‘89-‘90 season.

Sam Cassell averaged 19.7 at age 33 and 19.8 at 34. He averaged 19.6 at age 28. Sam was a superior player to JJ and would’ve gotten buckets in any era. JJ went to Philly at age 33 and averaged 2 whole points higher than he ever had in his career. Then the following year he averaged a point higher than that. JJ benefitted from the NBA changing to a 3pt happy league.

JJ would have been Luka back then.

Coop can be mad all he want.

Mark price came up in his era. We don’t allow that archetype to do shyt other than come off the bench to hype up the crowd (Payton Pritchard, TJ McConnell). Meanwhile Mark Price was all-nba killing the shyt out of brehs . fukk outta here white bytch and go spot up like Reddik had to in his day .

Darius Garland is the new age Mark Price
