:what: I really wonder if all you cats are 17 and under. Defense back then was called fouling. Look at some of the old Bulls/Pistons clips from the Jordan era. The NBA now is soft as fukk compared to back then.

U just made his point...

If defense from the Jordan era would be considered a foul now, wouldn't that mean players have to step up defensively to compensate for that?

so then why are you bringing up laettner's numbers AFTER he played in the olympics?:upsetfavre:

once again, your agenda is showing.

Just to show that he was no slouch, if he did that as a rookie. One, he was touted as one of the greatest college players EVER; they have made no such claim about Davis. When Anthony Davis plays his rookie year, then we can assess what each did. I also included Magic from '90-'91 season as well. It was simply using stats as such. I also included Blake Griffin as well.

But if it makes you feel any better....

Christian Laettner 21ppg 7.9rpg 2apg 2spg .9bpg 58%FG
Anthony Davis 14.2ppg 10.4rpg 1.2apg 1.3spg 4.2bpg 62%FG

In 1990 .8% of players in the NBA were European. In 2009, 11%. (just so you can see the disparity)

Please don't talk like they were playing against tons of NBA players back then. They were playing professionals, yes, but not NBA players. Players on the opposing team were just happy to play - they asked for pictures and autographs of the Dream Team during pregame because they were starstruck. Rubio isn't asking anyone on this team for a damn autograph, he's jawin' with Kobe.

The Nba players on the foreign teams were superior in 1992 than the average ones playing now. And the only reason there is more euro players in the Nba right now is because american players aren't as good as they used to be. None of thes euros the are riding deep in the bench today would be in the league back in 1992 because we didn't bother developing them when we already had talented americans.

To say they couldn't "hang" is ridiculous....I don't think they could have beat the 2008 Redeem Team at all..this team a little more suspect but I still think they beat th dream team....dudes are faster and bigger than they use to be....but what people fail to realize is that there's only so fast you can move while dribbling a basketball:laff: this ain't football...and there's only so fast u can move laterally as well so basketball will never change that much.....only a few nikkas in the history of basketball were really unbelievably quick with a basketball in there hands.

how are those nikkaz stronger and faster.

when robinson, malone, and jordan are the best archetype athletic and physical talents at their respective position.

also,..kobe on no day had what air jordan had.

not even coming out of hs was kobe near jordan's leaping ability for starters.

let alone when it came to air jordan when it came to phsyical attributes of speed, strength and skill.

as jordan, was the strongest actualized skilled sg in the history of the nba.

more exposal of your lack of knowledge on a subject you decide to speak on.
