Breh.

Are you saying Steve Kerr > John Stockton?

:dwillhuh:

He prolly thinks Horry is better than Duncan too cuz Horry has 7 vs Duncan with 5.:mjlol:


Oh and Horry must be better than Kareem Abdul Jabbar cuz he only got 6:mjlol:

All im doing is pointing out irrefutable facts, take from it what you will


Stockton was good a passing the ball, scoring the ball, stealing the ball, shooting the ball, etc.

I guess Kerr must be better than Durant, Westbrook, and Harden too cuz they don't have rings right? Kerr was better than Lebron too until Lebron had to join Wade & Bosh to get his ring, that is after choking a 2-1 lead to the Mavs and getting posted up by JJ Barea and flabby age Jason Kidd while dropping 8 points in the finals.

And what I find funny is how you completely avoided Dr. J and Bird saying the league was watered down in the 90s.

I'm not watching your propaganda video nor am I entertaining your bird-dr j deflection. I didn't say that the 90s weren't watered down. I'm saying that there were more quality teams in the league then in comparison to now. I'm saying the the current quality of play is shyt. I'm saying that the current state of the game is a result of deliberate engineering not natural evolution.

I notice how you ignored my point about GS only scoring 89 points in game 7 of the NBA finals. I notice how you ignore my point about all of the mediocrity on cleveland's roster. You ignore those points because they refute yours. That video and those bird-dr j quotes don't refute anything that I've said.

not mad, just realizing how naive the thoughts ya'll had about basketball before 2000

If Kerr ever gets in the hof, it's as a coach, not the player. Like how Phil Jackson is for coaching, not getting two rings as a player for the knicks. Which you prolly didn't even know.

Individually zone is harder to drive and score on but as a team zone is much easier to score on. Ball movment and drive and kick kills zone every time.
I agree that teams adjusted. But stars pre zone had a easier time to score.

Whose fault is it that teams now get footage of comp in real time and offenses now make immediate adjustments to it?

The 80s Zeke starred in had barely any defensive only specialists as players. If you were a Kelly Tripuka type who averaged 27 ppg with Zeke and could shoot, you got burn.

Exactly. Since you can't deconstruct their points, you Trump like yell "fake news" "propaganda."

If it doesn't agree with you, it doesn't count. That swhybtalks work you are worthless and you tell yourself you've never lost a discussion in here in five years

There was no balance from 99-2004. Teams literally couldn't score which is why they changed the rules. There was a period where you could hand check and you zone up and teams like the Pistons took full advantage.

Sorry but the Orlando Magic 94-96 teams could score.

Golden state in 93 could score
The pacers could score
The Lakers 2000-2004 could score
The 2003-2005 sun could score
The 2000's mavericks could score

Plenty teams could score but now the defense is so the bad....who can't score?

Isiah can't coach but he knows how to play. Not playing defense leading to 50 point games & big men not rebounding leading to triple doubles. Why coaches can't figure that out?

How do you think the huge spacing difference between now & Isiah's era contribute to this? :jbhmm:

Big men who can shoot is not new. Lambier could shot a long range jumper. I will say more do it today. The coaches job is find a strategy. Compare it to the NFL. Big receivers makes teams draft big corner etc
