That same myopic obsessive competitiveness that get you to the league and gets you to greatness and keeps you there is the same thing that has you sounding stupid when you arent on the court. And this applies to all generations. Ironically the two guys that I havent seen this silly shyt from are the two guys everyone wants to pit against each other all the time. Kobe always showed love and respect to his predecessors and the young cats. Bron has always done the same and continues to do so. That said, you dont get clicks and ratings for thoughtful, balanced analysis (see: Inside being the "gold standard" and winning Emmys yealy :manny:).

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
It just ain’t the young nikkas saying stupid shyt, have you seen Gilbert’s podcast? Have you seen some of the shyt Rasheed Wallace has said that makes zero sense? It's both young players and older players that say shyt to downplay the success of each other and to be honest I didn't start seeing the young players do this until recently. Why people take extra offense when the young nikka say it, but is perfectly fine for a 50-year-old retiree to shyt all over this era?

Touche. You dont/didnt see the vitriol or dismissiveness or flat out stupidity from them though. Legit critiques based in reality is one thing. I havent seen outlandish shyt from them.

And come on we all know that Bronny shyt was a dad hyping his son.

CAP THAT SPACE IS ALWAYS THERE
AND THE GUYS WHO CAN WORK
IN THAT SPACE DURING THE POST SEASON
SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM OTHERS

:devil:
:evil:




contested shots still get taken stepping into the post pulling up into the midrange

doesn't mean they are open like they are facing 1v1 match-ups

now a lot of players find more space stepping back

defense changed & the preferred prioritized shot changed with it
