If The NBA Was So Much Tougher In The 90's Please Explain To Me How Mark Price Ate So Well

[Lucky_Lefty]

y'all youngins care too much man

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Are people not getting the point?

Curry is 10x the scorer and ball handler that Price is. He's bigger, longer, stronger, and more athletic too.

So Curry is gonna get put on his ass, be bleeding, and such despite that Price wasn't getting hard fouled every time he walked up the court?

nikkas missing the point entirely. I'm starting to think on purpose actually. I don't think OP is saying Price is garbage. He's saying that Price is smaller than Curry. And had less of a skill-set overall yet was able to do his thing. So why do people try to act like Steph wouldn't survive the 90s?. That's the point he's tryna make. It's less of a discredit to Price than it is giving credit to Curry and discrediting his naysayers.

the point is invalid cause IT'S MARK fukkING PRICE



see the point is... you'd HAVE to do that to curry... cause he's unstoppable and he's putting up 30-40 points on you... so what else the fukk you gonna do



when you bring up mark fukking price... so what he scores 15 tonight nobody cares about your little 15 points nikka... go ahead and get them while we spend our night trying to stop brad daughtery out here


nikkas was not game planning for mark price... at no point and time... at all



nikkas flopped cause they couldn't stop shaq... they came up with the jordan rules cause they couldn't stop jordan... they had pippen on magic full court cause they couldn't stop him



NOBODY CARED ABOUT MARK PRICE... nobody risking suspension for mark price... nobody trying to body mark price





this is the equivalent of playing the warriors and asking "how are you gonna stop bogut" nobody gives a fukk about that guy

Fam I grew up on the 90s NBA as well. But nikkas goin a lil too far out they way to discredit this lil nikka. Sayin he wouldn't survive n all that. shyt don't make no sense. And I'm mad critical of these new nikkas.

 

[mbewane]

15 points and 6.7 points is not giving ANYBODY any work brehs



calderon avg 10 and 6.5... mark price wasn't that much better

only reason he was on the dream team was because jordan said no isiah thomas... lets be real

it definitely wasn't any type of football/boxing action going on.. they didn't have flagrant fouls and they let them play a lot more.. but as for straight out chopping nikkas in the neck, punching, purposely injuring dudes... that wasn't happening


the better question would be how did reggie miller survive? if you were gonna ask about that type of thing


he was taller but just as lanky and nobody was beating him up on the court... i think a lot of these older players are saying, fukk it, we admit we can't stop curry.. so lets go ahead and punch him in the eye



But yea. 90s was definitely tougher. I mean if it was wasn't, they wouldn't have needed all the rule changes. From on floor to trash talk to talking back to refs to dress code. They made an effort to soften up the game

Yea fam. I watched it with my own eyes and I remember clearly. The way nikkas be talkin they be taking it too far. Now what I will say. Is the players these days who be whining all the time. Floppin all the time and hoping and relying on bullshyt foul calls. Them nikkas would def have a harder time. One of my biggest criticisms of Bron. The nikka is a diva.

 

[Patrick Kane]

Dude had handles, a crossover, nasty floater, could change direction on a dime and was a sharpshooter. He didn't have to be big or strong he was more of a player that used his skill to be effective.

Yessir, I think they're purposely missing the point too.

Outside MJ and the Bulls basketball in the 90's was
MJ nostalgia is the only reason why people remember that era so fondly. Basketball is so much better now

Meh, anyone saying Curry couldn't play back in the day is just silly. But I don't think he would embarrass teams unchallenged the way he is today. nikka has more walk in layups than any little dude Ive ever seen..
And is he really more athletic than Price? He's taller than Price, but has like 2 more career dunks lol. He's got better handles, but Price having the look of a square doesn't mean he wasn't athletic.

Steph gets layups because of his great handle. And yes, he's much more athletic than Price.

Curry gets walk in lay ups because how good Golden State's offense is, how much teams overplay Curry when he has or doesn't have the ball, and how the hard doubles that are PnR from big men gets split because they're over aggressive because sinking back is a three pointer.

He's also an extremely gifted with his touch around the rim and his awkward timed lay ups. It's a pick your poison kinda thing. Teams will choose to give up two points by forcing Curry off the three.

Guarding Curry goes against most modern defensive philosophies, especially in the PnR.
