Forcing you to turn your back to the goal and to your teammates. This also allows for better defense cause you always know where the offensive player is through contact and can look away to what his teammates are doing to interupt passes, dribbles, and screens.

    Growing up in the 90's and early 00's I can definitely say That era was the end of good basketball. My entire family had watched the NBA since it's beginning in the 50's. My elder uncles told me about the rivalry between Wilt and Russell, then the previous gen to me talked about Maravich, Magic, Bird and early MJ. When Kobe, KG, AI and all those players were playing and I watched the games with them. They told me, that they were an amazing generation of new talents and that they reminded them of those legends from the past. One of my uncles is a big fan of Kobe and Wade. I was always rooting for Nowitzki and AI, so you can imagine those finals. I would always get beat 😂😂😂 (except on 2011) But I remember them saying that. Then, something happened after 2010 and NBA Basketball just lost something. Classic defenses and plays disappeared. All you see is 3 pointers, lack D. No superstars at the Dunk competition

    The conversation of skill is missed placed. When ppl like Ant say comments about skill, what they are really referring to is fluidity of movement. If you watch basketball before 1984, there weren't many, if any players with non-stiff movement. Really, the first player to truly have fluid movement to their game was Isaiah Thomas, but his game was limited due to his size....etc. Jordan has the ultimate fluid movement game. His body moves and looks esthetically pleasing all while being fundamentally sound.
    As the game evolved, everyone wanted to "be like Mike" and over time players have developed a more attractive looking play style. This style of play is based off of Jordan. EVERY "position" today is played with a 2 guards skill set. Where do you think that view of the game came from? Comes from everyone wanting to be like Mike.
    The core of this "skill" conversation is not about actual basketball skill, it's about how ones game looks and that comes across them like they have skill. They don't. (As an example) Tim Duncan would destroy the players of today. Skill
    Basketball skill comes in many forms. The game right now is watered down. And even with everyone having 2 guard or Jordan like movement to their games, no one can remotely even put up better numbers than MJ. MJ's rookie season numbers are almost identical to Kobe's MVP season. Let that sink in.

Should I point to a guy like John Wall to claim modern players are faster? I'm won't say that, because he's one guy. What about Shaq? Shaq was probably stronger than Wilt. And Wemby can probably do things that Wilt could not. Let's not get confused by single data points.

      @Qichar its not just wilt, it was the gold standard to average over 40 minutes. I mean did you even bother to look at other players of that season? Today, Derozan is currently at the top in minutes, yet 37.8 minutes isnt even cracking top 10 back then. 1962 was the higest paced season the nba has ever had, teams were averaging 118.8 ppg with nothing but 2s. They were running back and forth non stop. I doubt derozan would even last 37 minutes if he played back then.
      We do not know who is stronger beween the 2 centers, but phil jackson, someone who played against wilt and trained shaq admits to wilt being the stronger player, even referencing how the lakers had to intentionally foul wilt so much that they had their hall of fame center foul out just to have a shot at winning, even stating how wilt would just lift him up and get his shots. And we know phil isnt baiased, he chose kobe as the hardest worker compared to jordan, even stating in live television jordan would probably get mad at him for stating that fact, but he doubles down on what he thinks is true.

If we set aside the NBA for a moment and talk SCIENTIFICALLY, people running the 100m have IMPROVED OVER TIME. Usain Bolt holds that record and he's MEASURABLY faster than people from the past. I would consider that a measure of athleticism.
      Load management is a different matter entirely. That's about team's strategy to try and win the chip by keeping their best players healthy. Frankly, I don't think it's working, but I also don't think it's a good measure of athleticism or relevant to this argument.

    For better or worse and like NFL, rules were changed to reduce physicality and protect players. So for players in this softer era to brag about being better is asinine. If the MJ from 1986-87 were to show up today, he would easily average 50.0 points a game instead of the remarkable 37.1 points per game.

    Load Management is the evidence that this era is weaker than the 80s and the 90s.
    Players back then, most of them played for almost 82 games every season.
    The average NBA player right now especially the superstars play less than 70 games a season.
    This era certainly does not have stronger players especially with all that Load Management

    Gilbert Arenas's platform will do extremely well for a very long time as long as every other platform is constantly responding to something Arenas recently said on his platform, even though the majority of the time he's saying some stupid @ss ish that most people don't agree with, unless they're one of these New Jacks that believe pretty much anything that favors somebody they are a fan of, whether that person as an athlete is trash or not. I hope these platforms somehow find a way to find something else to talk about other than the next stupid thing Gilbert Arenas is going to say on a daily basis, which is how often somebody seems to be addressing or responding to Arenas now..its literally like damn near everyday now. Why constantly take time out of your day to address some stupid sh!t that keeps comimg from the same dumb@ss??

    When people say that this generation is more skilled or athletic, they are talking about all the players in general not the top players which are outliners in any era. With this you need no test, its easy to see, the average NBA player is better than the average NBA player in the 80s or earlier. There are bench players in today’s game that would probably be starters back then. This isn’t just because of evolution either, scouts today also have more resources at their disposal to find the best of the best compared to back then.

    I mean is a debatable topic but I feel like someone how grew up watching 90's and 2000's basketball and love it and someone who also played in South America and Europe that all these rules changes are ruining the game as it was meant to be played (i don't watch the NBA anymore nowadays it is just a show not a sport), Luka say it clearly it is easier to score on the NBA than it is in Europe and you could see that on the last Olympics or anytime an NBA team plays a European team.

  • @cyber6sapien

    Ironically the players of the 90's and 2000's were actually bigger and stronger than the players of today.
    Back then, a greater premium was placed on strength and athleticism due to the way the game was
    played and called. Today guys can be built like Luka and still dominate, because defenses are handicapped.
    Guys don't need to be freakishly athletic like Shawn Kemp to get into the MVP convo now. The NBA is more of
    a finesse Euro style game. Today the WNBA is more physical than the NBA.

  • @davidbergerson
    @davidbergerson 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Here is some 'proof' for you.
    There have only been two 'giants' as centers. Shaq and Yao. Both were over 300lbs. Now start looking at the centers in the 80s. Laimbeer and Ewing, both 240. The Chief and Kareem were 230. Wilt was 275. There were the centers that won in the 80s. Now look at the 90s. The Admiral was 235, Hakeem was 255, Mourning was 240. Yeah that sounds HUGE.
    Joklc is 290. Embiid, he lies, he is over 300. Bam, who really should be a 4, is 255. Myles Turner is 255. Goebert is 260.
    Now, think that through. The centers today who are playing all over the court are BIGGER than the centers of the 80s and 90s. But what you are right about is it is the rules. But I disagree with you about your interpretation of the handcheck. You can still handcheck a player. But, it is not the 94 feet. From taking the ball in to the defenses free throw line you can't hand check. But, if that player gets under the free throw line and turns the back to the basket, hand check away. If it is in the lower defensive box, you can handcheck regardless if the back is to the basket or not. This is in the NBA rules: official.nba.com/rule-no-12-fouls-and-penalties/ B. Personal foul section 1.
    The rule that really changed the game was the elimination of the illegal defense and going to zones. With illegal defense, you did have contact! Why? Go back and look at most of Jordan's plays. They were ISOs. He would get the ball on the outside of the 3pt line. Then 3 others would go to the other side of the court staggered baseline to beyond the arc. The last player would be down in the same side as Jordan in the baseline corner. How did the defenders have to play? Go watch some of that. It was comical. The 3 weak side defenders. They could keep one foot in the paint and one out. Then Jordan would do his 6 second dance to blow by the defender, then those weakside defenders would try and come after him. If Jordan felt he could get in, he would pull up for a middie. And Jordan was DAMN good at middies.
    Shaq and UD are right. Today's game is read and react. Today's game requires something that the 80s/90s players rarely did. Very few players fight through a screen today. They just switch. In the 80s and 90s, it was all about getting through the screen, whether you went under or over it.
