Could the '01 Sixers beat any playoff team 2day?

[Ohene]

Giannis would average 50

2001 Sixers would easily win the championship this year.

The NBA has fallen off big time since the early 00s.

Giannis would’ve destroyed them

How? All Giannis is doing is trying to get to the rim and finish, he's not doing that with Mutombo down there. They'd force him to shoot jumpers and good luck with that.

THEY WOULDA SWEPT THE PACERS LED BY OLADIPO AND CELTICS LED BY ROOKIES N SOPHOMORES

Mutombo was already past his prime at that point though. Vince averaged 30 ppg and Davis (the Raptors starting C) averaged 17 ppg when they faced them. Shaq numbers in the finals were better than in any series in the Western Conference playoffs. So there's big possibility that Giannis would do his thing.

They'd beat the hell out of Miami, I think Washington would be challenged by them too.

There's a big difference between being a max center and being Shaq, no?



Yes, if Curry tried to guard A.I his ankles would be sent to Bolivia.

Maybe not Bolivia but he put some buckets on him

why not?

1st of all you had bunch of expansion teams in the league in 96 . 2nd, Teams were so desperate for young big men that Shawn Bradley, Bryant Reeves, & Eric Montros were lottery picks. Erick Dampier & Raef LaFrentz were getting big contracts. 40 year old Robert Parish was playing 27 minutes a game.

If Theo Ratliff was good enough for a max, this 24 year old kid would've got one too



shyt being a Nigerian center alone would got him a starting spot in 96. word to Yinka Dare

I told these old flabby fukks that the center position in the 90's was top heavy, today the position is deeper and you have more player archetypes.

The thought that Mutombo would be an elite offensive center is comical but that's how these stupid old nikkas think

The NBA peaked in terms of talent from 1989-2004.

Before 1989 the league was mostly weak. Same has been true since 2004.

From 1989-2004, a majority of the greatest players in NBA history played.

Jordan
Kobe
Hakeem
Shaq
Pippen
Robinson
McGrady
Garnett

That's 8 of my top 10 players in NBA history and they were from that era.

Easily the most stacked and best era in NBA history.

WHAT GUARD ON EITHER OF THOSE TEAMS IS AS GOOD AS AI?

WHAT BIG ON EITHER OF THOSE TEAMS IS AS GOOD AS MUTOMBO?

SIT DOWN CASUAL

Don't forget magic and Isiah they was relevant in 89-90 when Jordan had zero rings.

Amd How you skip AI, Vince carter & Duncan (he took over as a rookie in da damn playoffs...made everyone else on the spurs willingly defer to him, lol)?
