Sports section here is influenced by dudes being raised by 24/7 sports talking heads saying anything to fill up time on all those sports centered tv and radio shows.
People say irrelevant hot takes just to be saying them.
Get these Giants outta here :camby:

Donovan Mitchell > big bad boy Isiah Thomas and it ain't even close or arguable.

He isn’t wrong.

If you’re talking about HANDLES, and not talking about court vision or passing skills (where 80s and 90s PGs excelled), the turning point was Isiah Thomas and subsequently iverson.

Before Isiah nba pgs would either dribble up like this

Or be stationary and look for a pass in the key like this

Isiah Thomas was out here like this though

Between him and iverson you had some other guys showing it like hardaway, mark jackson and rod strickland…but until zeke and iverson bringing streetball guard skills to the nba, there wasn’t notable ball handling skills before that in guards.

There were supreme outliers like CHRIS WEBBER, derrick coleman, and KG, but no big men had handles at all like this era either.

The quote isnt as farfetched as OP is making kt.

Bam court vision is better than a lot of point guards in the 90’s.

As a big man in this era he’s averaged 5-6 assists a season mostly off high post reads, short roll passing, dribble hand offs. Boy is a big ass point guard fr.

Yeah, there were a lot of point guards who can handle and dish but their were also point guards who were basic and were trusted to throw post entry passes, initiate motion when they past half court, just set the table. Point guards who were used off-ball as shooters mostly and didn’t play-make much.

I simply disagree with this :hubie:. Keep it to handles and you’re right. Speaking on court vision you’re buggin.

@ISO got the juice.

Geriatrics out here in shambles.

:wow:
I don’t expect the geriatrics here to agree.

They certainly aren’t watching Miami Heat games.

They may have seen a bit of him in the Finals a few years back where he struggled.

At most they see him as a clean up dunker guy rather than the skilled freak he is on both ends of the floor.
@ISO is a good basketball poster but he thinks Jimmy Butler is a superstar franchise lead dog :mjlol:
I never said he was a “superstar”.

He is a lead dog that has led his team to Finals and Eastern Conference appearances. My whole life I was told that a players true worth was made in how he performs in the playoffs.
