This is how I know you never watched him play.I'll tell you how this is the case, in the 90s, I thought the game was inside out? You would feed the post first, correct? True of false, and since you wanna go there, Mark Price played with a guy named Brad Daugherty correct, who was the lead scorer on the team? Who do you think fed Brad the ball? Himself.
Who do you think gave Larry Nance the ball in transition and coming off pin downs Himself or the PG? Since you said that the point guard was the "primary ball handler" so if this is the case, who is making these passes to the Larry Nance, the Craig Echlos, the Brad Daughterty, the Hot Rod Williams Who is knocking down shots when these players get double teamed and have to pass out?
When you pass outta of double teams, 9/10 times the shooter shoots the ball, what do we call that boys and girl?? spot up shooters, Mark average 15 to 16 a game, but you want us to believe that Mark was blowing by defenders and getting to the cup at ease for 82 games in his entire career,
Let's see what they say, shall we?When former players talking about Mark Price, what's the first thing that they would say, He was a good creator off the dribble and that he would beat you off the dribble or was he a deadly spot up shooter that you couldn't leave open
Reggie wasn't the primary ball-handler for his team. He was strictly a 2, whose diet of shots came off-the-ball. Mark Price took the majority of his shots whilst he had the ball in his hands, creating for himself.I guess Reggie Miller wasn't a spot up shooter either
Nobody refers to Stockton as a spot-up shooter. He had the ball in his hands to create. He didn't play off-the-ball. That term is reserved for players who primarily play off-the-ball. If you're averaging as many assists as Stockton did, you're not recognized as a spot-up shooter. It's pretty damn black and white.I guess John Stockton wasn't a spot up shooter either, former players wouldn't consider him a spot up shooter or anything
He led the league in assist for years and many considered him a spot up shooter
I can't believe yall be championing dudes like Gil smh. This is yall leader
This is how I know you never watched him play.
You're using a general marker of how the game was played during the 90s [inside-out], and then falsely concluding that Price got his assists primarily by passing to the post or passing to players coming off pin-downs.
That's NOT the type of PG he was.
He's referenced as one of the players who revolutionized the PG position for a reason: he's one of the first who utilized the PnR to generate offense for himself and his teammates.
Let's put your bullshyt to the test -
25 of his 30 points came from creating his own shot (5 points came from off-the-ball)
The majority of his assists came from creating off-the-dribble (largely running the PnR).
How could he possibly have generated that much offense if he was just a spot-up shooter, according to you? What makes it even worse is, I posted that other highlights clip in the previous two posts, and asked you how many times you saw him spotting-up and you didn't answer. I'd ask you to provide some evidence of him being this spot-up shooter like you claim he was, but we both know you never will, because it doesn't exist.
Let's see what they say, shall we?
"Remember how hard he was to check on the PnR?" - Webber
"He was the best shooting PG of his day, and the reason for that is, he could shoot any shot. As Kenny said, he invented splitting the PnR. He could shoot the runner in the lane, he could stop on a dime and shoot the transition 3." - Kerr
"Mark Price, off the PnR, is one of the greatest shooters I've ever seen" - Zeke
"He gets easy baskets for his teammates because of his ability to penetrate" - Lenny Wilkins
Here former players are praising his ability to create shots off the PnR, and his ability to get into the lane, yet you're trying to paint a narrative he was strictly a spot-up shooter.
Are you done or are you done?
Reggie wasn't the primary ball-handler for his team. He was strictly a 2, whose diet of shots came off-the-ball. Mark Price took the majority of his shots whilst he had the ball in his hands, creating for himself.
What the fukk were you watching during the 90s where you thought Reggie and Mark Price played the same way?
Nobody refers to Stockton as a spot-up shooter. He had the ball in his hands to create. He didn't play off-the-ball. That term is reserved for players who primarily play off-the-ball. If you're averaging as many assists as Stockton did, you're not recognized as a spot-up shooter. It's pretty damn black and white.
Look at this game where he's in more of a scoring mood.
Literally not a single bucket out of his 30 points came from spotting up. Every single bucket he scored came from creating off-the-dribble, except for one, where he makes a cut to the rim. He was infamous for only passing when there was a clear assist opportunity, so spotting up and receiving a pass from someone else was rare for him. How are you running around pounding your chest acting like you know what you're talking about and yet you're this clueless about the most basic shyt?
90s, the game was played 'inside' that's either true or false, and it's true. 
Your argument is trash, the competition in the playoffs don’t change, the best teams made it to the playoffs.
Didn't help that most of the draft classes during that time were trash too
No he wasn’t and you didn’t watch rookie Steph.
Julius RandleWho is the Knicks number two option today’s current superhero era?
That was largely because of him as on/off on both ends tells the story.“Weak ass excuses” cuz Michael jordan couldn’t beat a team with 3 all stars while being a 6 or 8 seed with 0 all stars besides him
Btw lebrons teams were winning 66 & 61 games while being a 1 seed. His team WAS good enough he just failed when it mattered then ran to create super teams
You didn't walk down shyt.
You didn't walk down shyt.
You made up a fictive in your head about how PGs are primarily spot-up shooters because they receive the ball out on perimeter through catch-and-shoot opportunities, once big men get doubled. It doesn't work like that. PGs of the 90s, who set the table for their respective teams, didn't primarily score their points through catch-and-shoot, especially not Mark Price. You created a theoretical based on your fundamental misunderstanding of the game, that because you believe the 90s was inside-out, that therefore, PGs didn't create their own shots, and that they only scored when the ball was passed out of the post to them.
That's not reflective of what happened. You have a complete distorted perception of the 90s.
You said and I quote - "When former players talking about Mark Price, what's the first thing that they would say?".
I then provided actual evidence of quotes from former players, where they describe him as an innovator of creating offense for himself off the PnR, they describe him as capable of shooting any type of shot, they describe him as being great at driving into the lane and breaking the defense down off-the-dribble, and they describe him as one of the best shooters in the PnR.
Are you telling me you know more about Price's game than Kerr? Are you telling me you know more about Price's game than Zeke? Are you telling me you know more about Price's game than Lenny Wilkins (you know the same cat that coached him for most of his career)?
I even provided tape where he he scored 80+% of his points off-the-dribble, in a 30-piece performance, that is reflective of what these old heads are saying about his game.
How about some more evidence -
1st bucket - dribbles into a pull-up in the PnR
2nd bucket - hits a step-back 3 in ISO
3rd bucke t- breaks down his defender, off-the-dribble, and hits a runner in the lane
4th bucket - dribbles into 3 off the PnR
5th bucket - catch-and-shoot 3
6th bucket - comes off the PnR and hits pull-up
7th bucket - dribbles into a runner off the glass
8th bucket - catch-and-shoot 2
9th bucket - creates in transition, passes, then picks up a loose ball and hits a jumper
10th bucket - hits a pull-up off the PnR
11th bucket - hits a pull-up off the PnR.
Once again, a game where an overwhelming amount of his points came from creating his own shot, primarily in the PnR. Not spot-up shooting.
This is another case of you lying through your teeth because you don't want to walk back what you've said, as it'll undermine your whole position. If you admit that you're wrong about what kind of a player he was, then you have to admit that you're wrong about what Steph would be in the 90s.
