What people fail to understand that today's NBA isn't the same NBA MJ played in.... Defensive 3 seconds and no hand check and no checking players coming through the lane and off screens.. Meaning dribbling, shooting, getting to the hoop is easier and lanes are cleared out because of defensive 3 seconds so lacking rim protection, and anyone can get open with no checking players.. Not to mention how short 4 and 5 position is now. You would have to go back almost 50 years to match how short they are. We aren't watching the best basketball that can be played. You can see this when we play overseas in FIBA or Olympics. When other Olympic teams that have height they bully us in the paint and when we get checked going through the lane and it looks like we don't have a clue on how to play ball anymore when it comes to anything physical. Today's NBA players need that freedom of no defense, and we won't know what they would do against real talent not these oversea teams that have none NBA players whooping our ass in a rule set more like before LBJ came into the league. Which is embarrassing in itself. That Dream team that you think isn't as good as these guys would dominate in Olympic rule set. Look at the size alone and then the Dream Team had so many two-way players that could also create their own shots at a high %. That is why you can't say one team is better than the other it is comparing apples to oranges, and you need different horses for different courses and even in MJ day they could have gotten rid of the Bigs and put nothing but shooters in, but they would have gotten tore up in the post and rebounding and would lack rim protection just like todays league... I dare you to research this
Not to show my age, and I do appreciate your reaction and insight on the game. But damn, it just feels like the game is slow as hell nowadays. Mind you I haven't watched a whole hell of a lot of NBA in the past few years but still. 29 3's from USA and most of them just uncontested from these highlights. Just kinda boring. BUT, like I said I did like your reaction to it. You can't control how the game was played and you yourself made this vid worth watchin for me. Keep it up my guy.
Jokic just schooled Wemby, Gobert and France
Messi just win another major trophy yesterday
I still think dream team is better than. This definitely was off game but they will pick up the pace and show more defense.

Facts this game definitely wasn’t that good to watch but it was a couple highlight plays that got my attention
Embiids flopping and foul baiting won't go far with FIBA. He will be the fall guy if USA looses for xenophobe Media. He's the most less American.
