What other players have i heard those buzzwords being assoicated too





Oh yeah




This slow footed unathletic dude came over in his 30s and is a blueprint for one of the guys below



These 2 slow footed, and not athletic are dominating these super athletes today







Somerimes dudes are just special and BEFORE you flame me NO KlKI isnt as good as the players i listed, but he was pretty damn good

so you are agreeing with me. hand checking didn’t impact offensive players as much as you said earlier.

Hand checking was really prevelent in the 90s but yeah sure. You ran me into that trap

The undersized combo guard,.
who lacked pg prdigree and skillset.
that used to fail systemically.
in general in the nba.

This is actually a good one. Even though he came in before the offensive explosion, I remember there were even question marks around Dwyane Wade because they said he wasn't a true PG and too small to be a SG (even though he’s really a shade over 6’4”).

All the players of this era.
would suffer in the handcheck era.
Where the Mechanics of their shooting and efficiency would be exposed. As none of them played blacktop in this gen. Plus they never played with someone manipulating their physical to the point of ultimate duress every play continuously.


So a guy like steph.
We do not know.
if steph can make a jumper.

While a player guides said shooter whole body and trajectory. In the air via handcheck.

Also.

When they changed the rule of your hand is the ball.
The players allowed to cross all crazy would have gotten neutralized and benched.
As the defenders back in the day were not at the mercy of a cross over like today's game.

They would have timed your cross in general. Especially a vet player and would have relieved you of the ball.



The critique from young players needs to stop. As they were not cognitive. Nor have they sought out to understand.
any social climate or dynamic. about the game from elders to know wtf they are talembout.

Project pat:


A real nikka.
do nOt speak.
if he do not know.



So why y'all be flaug'n and talking tho.

Y'all ain't dug in no crate.

D wade was better at his natural of pg imo.
Also dwade probably Had thr most superior mid range game of that era of kids. He was just slighted.
when it came time to Gain accolades his number earned in high-school. Yet the powers that be in high school denied him the accolades of others. Although d wade was there on the aau teams that were known to produce talent.

I wish he would have stayed there..
Just like ai was denied leadership being moved away from the point.

Nah, it was prevalent in the 80s too.

 

[Greenhornet]

unathletic at the core

they wouldnt even be here like washed vets or 3pt shooters
everyone shoots now

 

[Piff Huxtable]

this man was a 29 ppg scorer in high efficiency with all that physical play and hand checking. He probably makes the HOF if he didn’t have a back injury. He was slow footed and not athletic.

I don't appreciate this GOATiGOATi GOATeGOAThe slander
