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

[Jesus Is Lord]

fukk outta here. That doboy built nikka rebounds would be down a lot if he was defending stretch 4s and 5s

He’s was matched up with clunky trash non scorers who couldn’t leave the panted area

You mean matched with players like Mailman, Pippen, Nique, Bird, Oak, X-Man, Shawn Kemp, McHale, etc.?? Breh he guarded perimeter and interior HOF players and still out rebounded most of not ALL of them. He even busted Centers asses. You must not have really seen him play to type that.

I swear nikkas just be talking out they ass

You mean matched with players like Mailman, Pippen, Nique, Bird, Oak, X-Man, Shawn Kemp, McHale, etc.?? Breh he guarded perimeter and interior HOF players and still out rebounded most of not ALL of them. He even busted Centers asses. You must not have really seen him play to type that.

The unwarranted confidence these dudes speak with when speaking on stuff they obviously know only the absolute minimum about is some true arrogant scumbaggery
You got one poster that even outright admitted he was hoping nobody would call him out on his baseless claim

Jokic fat ass is getting triple doubles every month, but shrempf and divas ain’t getting burn?

The same divac that started against prime shaq?

Y’all don’t watch basketball and you don’t even have the decency to look sh*t up so you’re not 100 percent ignorant

You know what...... I will say this.

There’s 30 teams in the NBA that play 82 games a season.

That’s a grande total of 1230 games.

That’s not including the possible 105 games between 16 teams in the playoffs.

Anyone who sits here on their high almighty platform that acts like “they watch” even a 3rd of them games is a Gotdamn lie or doesn’t have a life. So we must be cautious of the stones we throw.

So my bad, I missed some of Jokics games.

But now that he’s on the radar, I will check HIM out. See if he’s just 100% in the post doing post moves and scoring 10ft or closer.

I will check to see how well he fights for position and boxes out. I will keep a count of all his offensive rebounds and put backs

I’m gonna need me a little time but let me build a dossier up on HIM

He played defense on none of them players

 

[dontreadthis]

All athletes are better today

Women today run the 100 meter dash faster then Jesse Owens

why would you just blatantly make this up and wtf at the people dapping this

 

[LebronsHairline]

I dont remember what game it was or who they were playing but this nikka lebron had the ball at the right corner, he walked his man down into the post, turned around to post him for all of .3 seconds, dribbled back out to the 3 pt line and then tried to cross his man up and drive from the 3 pt line i was crying the whole time cuz this nikka wasted the whole shot clock doing absolutely nothing

 

[Bryan Danielson]

So OP is mad that players arent taught post moves anymore....thats what i got out of this.

Most players are drilled 90% perimeter based skills.....it is what it is

Exactly

I remember there was a time in game with practices.... when not doing the full unit TEAM PRACTICES.

In the inbetween moments, coaching staff would spit up the big men from the guards and have them work on specific things for their skill set.

Guards work on dribbling, agility driven moves, long range shooting, etc.

Bigs worked on post moves, hook shots, power steps, rebounding & taken it back up, etc.


Hell I remembered my coaches didn’t even want me or my other Centers & PFs to take any shot deeper than 12ft out and to never put the ball on the ground. If you couldn’t take one power dribble and get to the rim and score, you too far out and need to pass the ball to a guard.

The game has just evolved and the necessary skill sets to be a complete player or even good have changed

I’m testing u guys





There’s a lot of fake news out there these days

 

[High quality poster]

So basically every Lebron game

 

[FabTrey]

you can have more moves in your arsnal, but that don't mean sh1t if you ain't expert at it.

tim duncan is basic as fuk, but he still dominated both ends.



and those who diss barkley is either 16 year old or they never hooped before. barkley was a freak of nature.

BARKLEY WAS OUTREBOUNDING HAKEEM 13.5 TO 9.2 WHEN THEY PLAYED TOGETHER. YOU FATHERLESS COLI NIKKAS MAKE ME SICK

 

[Supreme365]

Yep, and he’s not faster than young Charles.

I don’t know that ones more comparable ad can really run the floor either way he doesn’t compare to Barkley in transition

 

[Roland Coltrane]

Better skilled as in shooting and dribbling.

Remember just back in the day BIG MEN where taught NEVER to dribble the ball or bring it down full court and don’t shoot nothing outside of 8-10ft range.

Now big men are taking it coast to coast, crossing cats up and shooting from long range

Cartwright, Manute Bol, Shremf, Divac, and a bit of other men ain’t starting in this era, yet alone getting burn

The neccessary skills for the game has change, so therefore for this style of play these guys are better than the guys before them

Martha

Schrempf wasn't a big man, I think you mean Smits

and Smits was a highly skilled big body, one of the guys Shaq mentions as always having trouble with when he played against him.

 

[Roland Coltrane]

The elite players are more skilled. Dudes 20-30 years ago couldn't shot-create like Steph, KD, Kyrie, Harden.

I disagree and say guys could create just as well

look who was in the league in 98 and 88 and try and tell me there were dudes who couldn't create

 

[Kami]

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

Lmao this what I said he he wanted a post up on cj mccolum that bron rejected.

They both weight 200lbs and Ingram isn’t skilled enough to take advantage of his height.

Lowry/cp3 are just stronger than him yet he posts up 15 feet out what an idiot.
