I can’t believe this is a 10 page thread

If you hoop, at any level, you play ones. Hones your skills and it’s great cardio. :dahell: why is this a polarizing topic?

Having said that, being a great one v one hooper especially with unlimited dribbles, doesn’t always mean you’re a great organized player. But the skills do carry over

On KRS One's nose, eating sunflower seeds.
In the rap terms it's the difference between a Big L and a Jay-Z. There's freestyling, and then there's actually making songs.

Like Big L may have cooked Jay in that Stretch & Bobbito freestyle but he doesn't have anything touching Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, Black Album, etc.
Right. But does that make Big L not a real rapper?

at a certain level 1 v 1 is not real basketball. I agree. Nba level offensive players cant be stopped by any single player. It just becomes a scoring fest. But i'll let ya'll cook and disagree with the top 1% thay actually made it to the league.


Stop.

1v1 is the real Guage of a player skill.

5v5 is based on a corporate structure medium. That takes skill out of the actual game it seeks to profit from.

Plus the system that arises from trying to make a profit is also inherently racist in nature as well.


We can talk about it.

Yet most will try to deflect away from history.

As they have a movie about it. Plus we systemically seen this racism play out with butler, Riley and Miami. As well as the idea that even white people who are exceptional hooprrs are treated like they are just a commodity in a pen as well.

So the business of making a profit in 5v5. Is rooted in racism. That will always stifle basketball. From being able to showcase the skill level of basketball.

this is cap and conflated false narrative.
As first. Big l suffered the longest delay.
at the time in rap history. Where if Big l was released as scheduled.
in the sonic landscape his album was recorded. Was the top cultural draw. Way ahead of jayz.
Who made commercial taboo jiggy music. That was accepted in revision and never accepted culturally in actual nature in hiphop. You speaking on jayz after commercial jiggy-ism and reprocessed grief.
from big and puff flopping on pe 2000. Opened the glass ceiling.
to allow jayz a new pr built chance to draw. Where originally as a big grief based draw failed.
As this whole freestyle can not make a song shyt is cap. After juice embarrassed jayz and made his song draw.

So you got a universal distrubuted artist to diamond mine owner made cap and wack rnb nepotism enabled producers who got clowned publically or exposed in skill trying to cap.
Coupled with petey Pablo taking the worst deal in record history. Which is the exact deal juice turned down.
When that whole freestyle shyt is cap. When me and juice were bds top grassroots gainers and top five real grassroots non payola charting artist.

This argument is not at all related or comparable to one another.

This shyt comparison cap and devoid of any cultural history or significance. You better than this funkdoc.

This was a shyt take.

On some eight mile lie type shyt my guy. You better than this.

since we're talking about bron, peep this clip



Young bron goes through the calculus of Iso saying "ive got this defender on a island, no immediate help defense, and I can beat him off the dribble" and he ALSO sees that Andy is going to seal the lane, further delaying the help defense and rim protection, he then makes the decision to barrel through the lane and scores. You cant learn all of that decision making solely in 1s.

same clip, harden has Enes on a island, he knows he can turn this man into a human top...he really wants to pop off for a step back three, but hes sees that Andre Robeson is there to help on a 3 contest but James remembers that Kanter is doing the harlem shake, and he blows by him on a easy lay up. ONCE AGAIN, you cannot learn that decision making in 1s.

I mean it’s a reason all those class of 2018 and 19 dudes say Reddish is like that…
How can dude do all that and still can’t hit an open 3 during a game:snoop:

Literally the difference between him being a rotation player and being out of the league

it would be like the dunk contest where none of the stars participate, and it's just role players/rookies/g-leaguers competing

The reason 1 on 1 isn't real basketball is because basketball is inherently a team sport.

It's like saying the Oklahoma drill is real football.
Or live BP without fielders is real baseball.

1 vs 1 is ego shyt and it might be fun. But it has never proved anything.
There are far too many basketball failures who could dominate 1 vs 1 situations to act like it would be true.
Damn y’all soft asl

I’ll fukk u up in that oklahoma
