i HATE when people say current NBA players are more skilled than ever...

[goatmane]

This is what these new "skilled" players do when they cant use 3 illegal screens and palm the basketball


I see this all the time

SFs, PFs, with 8 inch height advantages cant do shyt in the post vs small guards like Lowry, CP3, FVV, etc.


Ingram cant even post up a dude he has damn near 10 INCHES OF HEIGHT ON

first

1) gave a man a shytty pass. because teams dont practice this no more

2) didnt establish on the left block. he's out to the damn 3 point line

So you use a 21 year old in his 3rd season that’s not even 200lbs failing a post up opportunity as your example as to why players today aren’t more skilled than ever?

There more athletic and better shooter, very rare does any player know how to post, back in the day anybody over 6’3 can post up a mismatch

All athletes are better today

Women today run the 100 meter dash faster then Jesse Owens

 

[Columbo]

The average role player is more skilled in todays league but

The mid range shot and post up skills have really declined

they’re more athletic but that doesn’t mean they’re more skilled. and the reason for this is scouts nowadays love drafting and recruiting based on physical attributes, far more than before. That’s why guys like jokic, d mitch, were passed on in drafts

 

[UNATTACHED]

They're definitely more skilled on the perimeter now

Owens ran a 10.3
Flo-Jo did 10.49 which is still untouchable for women, next closest women's time is in history is 10.64

You also gotta consider what Owens was running on. No doubt it’s easier to run on tracks now.

Players today are more skilled and athletic, and the league has way more overall talent.

Nowadays, every roster spot matters. Back in the day, it didn’t matter who was on your team past the 8th spot. And really it was just the top 3-4 players who really mattered. The the dudes at the end of the bench were just warm bodies for practice.
