fukk this bytch ass high scoring NBA

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Ice was nice.... but I have never seen anything like Durant.... Durant is a 7 foot guard with a historical type jumper that can also post up if need be..... there hasn't been a player similar to him in the history of the sport....

 

[god shamgod]

G Hill, Penny and T Mac easily.... of course Hakeem, hell the Admiral, and one more..... Durant is unprecedented.....

T mac didn't breakout til '00 he took off in the early 00's when he went to orlando and penny and grant hill similar to greek freak

Anthony davis can handle the rock coast to coast,face up,post,guard wings/guards and hit 3's.

Hakeem and robinson were athletic 5's and ahead of their time but they weren't versatile like ad.

Ice wasn't 7ft but all the things durant could do on the court ICE did them as well. Durant is elite of the elite but him being 7ft makes him unstoppable.

sounds like you never seen Akeem, and 1990-95 D rob (before his back went out)

they could do everything on the court AD did but better.

this is what second year player Akeem was doing against the greatest frontline and arugbly the greatest team in NBA history at 22 years old.


here's prime drob posting a quad double


AD is good but don't insult akeem and d rob like that.

Yes they are, name a 90's player that was similar to greek freak,durant and anthony davis.

put cats like connie hawkins through the same process of skill development & you get the same create a player fukkery

probably had better raw athletes back then than now

if nikkas was floating back then no plyometrics & training routine hooping in rubber sole skipps with no cushion imagine them with all the modern upgrades¿

See, here is where the argument fails when comparing different eras.... the reason why I say that is because ideologies/philosophies about the game were vastly different between the eras... there is no way you can convince me that a D Rob or Hakeem skillset wouldn't mirror or supercede AD... . also, G Hill was no doubt better than Greek Freak in his prime... Penny as well imo...... you got me on T Mac.... I was a year early

Bruh penny was my dog, my favorite player in the league besides jordan(had the authentic blue magic jersey in high school) but he aint better than greek freak

Grant hill was my 3rd favorite player and neither was he, both these cats were nice obviously but greek freak is the better overall player imo

I don't like comparing eras at all.It aint fair to the players/teams so there's really no point in comparing their skill sets but I think ad has an overall advantage as far as skills but the era does dictate that cuz 5's were different 15-20+ years ago

SO I been doing some research and the high scoring isn't really the problem.

It's HOW teams are scoring. Players have been heavily assisted by the NBA because they want scoring to go up.

- For the first 3 years of NBA existence the league average was under 80 points per game. Then in 1954 scoring jumped from 79.5 points a game to 93.1. Three years later it jumped to 106 points a game.

- From 1959 - 1971 teams averaged over 110 points per game.

- The showtime 80's era, teams were averaging over 108 a game.

- Then scoring steadily declined during the Bulls championship era and in 1995 the league average was below 100 points per game for the first time in 39 years.

- Jordan's final year with the Bulls, the league average was only 91.6 points per game. (So for people saying Jordan is the GOAT, those bulls teams won titles when scoring was on the decline, which means the level of talent was weak as fukk)

- The NBA tried to fix shyt in 2003 by introducing the no hand checking rule, but nikkas was still caught up in the 1990's. The league scoring average was only 93.4 points per game.

- Eventually it worked but it would take another 5 years for scoring to get back up to over 100 points per game. This can be attributed to level of overall talent being weak as hell.

- Ironically, the following year Steph Curry was drafted in 2009.

- Three point attempts have actually been on the rise since 2001 when it was 14.7 per game. (to put that into perspective, teams this year are averaging over 30).

- Teams in the 80's didn't attempt more than 6 three pointers per game for the entire decade, while averaging the same amount of FG attempts. Free throw attempts were higher and players made more field goals than today.


I've concluded that while the athletic ability is better today than any other era, the NBA has had to manipulate the rules to up scoring. Part of it is because athletes are better, so is their defense.

But I also think, the 80's players were more skilled because they managed to score the same amount of points, without shooting three pointers and with less rules against defense.

Clearly LaVar was on to something with the JBA. Apparently it has rubbed off on some teams

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Aside from the Lakers/Spurs and Wizards/T'Blazers OT games, these were the scores in the rest of the games:

93-90
106-127
113-124
91-101
109-115
92-84
103-123

[Buckeye Fever]

Where are the 8 crisp passes per possession, where everybody is moving with a purpose?

I love watching the maturation process of a play.

A screen resulting in a cut, and the cutting player receiving the pass, making an extra pass to a player back door cutting, and he makes the textbook layup.


Yeah. fukk yeah

 

[Swagnificent]

Americans love scoring. You get what you ask for.

I think you mean crakkkas.

Black folks have always preferred defense.

Went to a magic knicks game early 00s where the final score was like 79 68. At the time it was the worst shooting pct in magic history

Got on my feet and started booing halfway through the 2nd. People felt my pain, tmac ended up complaining to reporters about being booed in his home arena. That game was horrible i still want my money back for that nonsense

Over time i see a lot of revisionist history with the nba. The 90s was not a golden era, i remember during the 94 finals sports illustrated running a cover story asking who got next, nba or nhl? That was a legit question in media circles back then but to let people tell it my grant hill pistons were "contenders"
