Didnt see this thread before I replied to the other one:
He barely started getting up on the pnr in 06' so he thinks that small level of effort would still be effective? :mjlol:

The league isnt anything like it was on '06 and they would be PNR'ing his eyes out. Candace has clearly had enough :mjlol:


Cant believe I took Shaq's side in the Kobe beef in '04 :hhh: disgusted with myself

Again....NBA fans justify buffoonery and is an outlier in the way its covered. Year after year it has to reinvent itself as a result, shooting itself in the foot because it anchors itself to garbage coverage like Inside the NBA. These dudes don't even like the sport they cover and help foster the disdain many "fans" carry for the sport.

The proof is in the pudding. The "let me prove how much I don't like player/game is played" ass fans.

I understand you mad. But the fact is there are plenty of shows on espn that do it exactly the way you describe it should be done. However this show is more highly rated and the hosts are paid a premuim salary compared to the other network. So this disdain you claim is overstated. Fans have shown that they enjoy this in higher numbers than they have shown that they enjoy the alternative

Shaq's a top 10 player of all time. How u tell a 10 player that he don't know shyt about basketball? That's a delicate ass line to tow. And even tho she's one of the GOAT female ballers....she still a woman and never played in the NBA. So i see why Shaq would push back on her knowledge so hard.

But facts is facts...Shaq got done playing 10yrs ago...and the game had passed him by almost half decade back then. The way the game changed even in the past 5yrs is crazy. There used to be designated stretch 4s on every squad...that aint even a thing anymore. And you gotta do you homework to keep up....But Shaq's ego won't let him study these "inferior players" so thats what u have. Dwade tho....that nikka knows his shyt and is mad calm and smooth with it:salute:

More to the point was Shaq's insistence that players "man up" and Candace explaining that players and offenses are too good now and will expose holes in that style of play through ball movement, spacing and better shooting.

That segment was like watching The Coli on tv.
You have people on this board who simply do not get it.

People still think playing defense like its 2003 will work in the long run. They just dont understand you have to guard 4 of the 5 players out to 26-27 feet these days. There is no better or worse NBA, just different skill sets over time and you have to adjust accordingly.

Karl Anthony Towns is a career 23/12/3 guy on 53% shooting and 40% three point shooter. Thats better than Dan Majerle who people saw as a shooter in the 90s. How in the world are you going to sag off of him and wait for the driving guard in a PNR?

And KAT is seen as a laughing stock :mjlol:

The posters who want it like the old days don't actually remember the old days because they were too young.

Games were slow, fouls were called a lot and scoring 94 points was deemed high scoring. Worse, a lot of players straight up could not shoot.

Todays game has a lot of problems, but the 90s and early aughts were shyt tier basketball.

Ben Wallace Pistons 79 points and a cloud of dust basketball was a disgusting time :scust:

It wasnt' really that bad. I came in ready to shyt on him but after watching it I was like :manny:. I've seen way worse from dude and I expected way worse. All he did was challenge her assertion and push her to elaborate more. And he made a valid point about everybody not shooting like that. Way better than a convo you would get from him and Chuck.
