KG (in response to Ant Man)- "If im being honest, I don't think anyone in this generation could've played 20 years ago"

[CHICAGO]

“Pierce says no one in this era has post game or midrange, or 2 dribble pull up. Etc.. etc...”

Old head babble. Maybe he should watch some Devin Booker or Jalen Brunson or something.

These dudes go full retard. Anthony Edwards is wrong but so are these guys.

And yeah players at all levels are generally more skilled now. Pierce was good but Luka takes parts of his game to another level. I even see some Pierce in J-Dub from OKC.

BOOKER IS A 9 YR VET.

ARE THEY EVEN TALKING ABOUT HIM
OR THESE NEW KIDS IN ANTS ERA?

Present players and ex-players need to stop confusing the actually players with the rules of the game.

When saying, “such and such couldn’t have played back then”, they need to clarify that they played different back then and today’s rules and style of play wouldn’t fly. But to say they wouldn’t be able to play back then is just dumb.

They wouldn’t be able to play the STYLE of today back then because the rules and infractions were different. Players would’ve just played ball the way the league deemed. Such dumb comparisons.

Can't wait to see the discussion 20 years from now

 

[010101]

the space that post ups midrange 2 dribble pull-ups and all that don't flourish the same

now you got a team 7 foot plus wingspan motherfukkers cooperating to defend that space

I genuinely hate this "back in the day" bullshyt these dudes keep spouting off like there were killers from spots 1-15 on every roster back then.

Feels like it only infects basketball, or at least its popular to say dumb shyt like this.

 

[Stinky Diver]

Just a stupid back and forth argument that will go nowhere. But one thing I will say, it was a hell of a lot more enjoyable watching players with variety to their game back in the early 2000s. I don’t care how ugly it could have gotten at times.

KG’s disdain for analytics is funny. Cause those types love him . Have him in the top 10 and all

Brunson and book play old school type of games.

This.

It's not that there aren't players who have a mid-range game, it's that the skill is lost on the average NBA player.

Two of the best in the NBA in Luka and Shai exploit the mid range and it's almost an automatic bucket for them.

 

[iamduval]

Wouldn’t be no triple step backs


I agree with most of what he said. The game is dumbed down now

 

[Jplaya2023]

This whole old-school vs new school shyt is nonsense and is a complete waste of a discussion.

Kg just said the opposite of this, so since Ant said what he said he now feels like he got to defend the old-school

Why does it have to be "defending" the old school. Back in the day, when a nikka said stupid shyr heads would laugh and check that shyt on the spot. The problem is today nikkas think they can say whatever the fukk and cant no one retort it

 

[drifter]

The game is dumbed down now

That's all sports. They're intentionally engineered for social media engagement

But when Brady & KG or anybody call it what it is folks that've never touched a ball in regulation after HS say they're wrong lol
