Thank you basketball biggest evolution is the big man. They have so much freedom now more than ever. I think coaching has gotten much better so the nba players are more refined in areas that matter the most
i HATE when people say current NBA players are more skilled than ever...
- Thread starter goatmane
- Start date
Kyrie has never been top 5 lets compare players of equal stature.So MJ, Barkley, and Hakeem cant shot-create an good as Kyrie Irving?
Mike vs bron

This is a dumb ass post...
Ingram is actually skilled in the post, he's just 6'11 190 pounds
Lowry pound for pound is one of the strongest guards in the game at 6'1 and probably around 210 pounds (VanVleet and Paul who you mentioned are also stocky with great hands). He used his low center of gravity, his strength, and his quick hands to poke the ball loose from Ingram. Not only that but O.G. Anunoby provided help defense on the play swiping with his absurd 7'6 wingspan. Also, Danny Green is watching the play which would potentially been called an illegal defense in the 90's, the Raps built a wall or a zone around Ingram because of the mismatch.
But you 90's stans don't know the game so I wouldn't expect y'all to know any of this
90's stans act like players then executed on 100% of their mismatches in the post
If anything this proves our point that players are more skilled than ever. The player you are highlighting is 6'11 with athleticism, shooting, and post skills and has even shown the ability to play point forward and he literally just turned 21 years old last month.

I disagree that Divac and Shrempf wouldn't get burn today, they would.
But, Jokic is far better than Divac.
And AD is more talented than Barkley.

This isn't true though.
We've got players like Kuzma, Tatum, Booker coming into the league with footwork and advanced post skills.
Basically all of the good wings in the league have a post game (DeRozan, Butler, Middleton, Durant, James, Leonard, Giannis, Klay, etc.)
It's just not as frequent a play type as it once was, P&R's are more effective, post ups can drain the shot clock, and it's easier to defend because of zone.
it's a shame young nikkas today know nothing about how great charles was.
barkley was nasty. he could do everything.
he lost a step or two here, but he had a flawless offensive game
he could turn around and fade all day 1:06
beautiful step back at 2:12, and no harden didn't invent step back
fade and counter and gets his own rebound - how he gets so many rebounds 2:20
palm fake bank shot at will 4:30
baseline spin move reverse 4:55
fade J on much taller and longer cwebb 5:10
those are unguardable fundamental moves. barkley knows how to use his body. ain't nobody can guard barkley 1 on 1. barkley was unique offensive machine.
and he is lazy on D, so he would fit right in

I wasn’t implying that divac was better (he’s not)
I’m just saying if bad built unathletic jokic can take over games, you’d be tripping to think divac isn’t at the very least a contributor
Where did I say AD wasn’t more talented? He damn sure ain’t a better rebounder, that’s not even debateable
...at the expense of fundamentals.
That's why all these games are shytty.
Detlef was 6'10"...and was really one of the original stretch 4's when that bytch ass term didn't even exist yet.

I see what your saying, its hard to compare era's. I always try to prove myself wrong before i say things
Its tricky because teams going small has created more opportunities for wings. The power forward and center positions have been impacted the most. I think the best way to put it is every era had different rules that require different skill sets
