Bag is simply flashy moves based on handles. THATS IT....thats the definition, thats always been the definition. Don't try to unc your way into it and say shyt like Shaq had a bag or Reggie Miller had a bag....NO. We all know exactly what that shyt means, so stick to that. That doesn't mean any of those players were bad in the slightest, everyone knows they were great.

People think saying someone has no bag means they suck or something. But alot of people been saying Bron had no bag forever and we all knew exactly what that meant, yet he's one of the GOATs. Now everybody wanna play dumb and act like the definition is up in the air :mjlol:
I don't think that's true. My understanding is bag is short for "bag of tricks". A term that's been around forever.

Having a bag in basketball terms is simply saying you have counter moves for when the defense stops the first move you make. It was mainly applied to players working a post game like Akeem and Kevin McHale. But because the game has evolved to more perimeter play the term has expanded.

Nah man this generation has always had a specific definition of bag and its basically handles. Ask any non-unc and they will tell you. The reason why this is even a discussion is because yall know what the term actually means. Otherwise why would someone even SUGGEST MJ was limited. What was the only part of his game that could be considered limited compared to today’s guards?

When someone mentioned a player with a bag who is the first person they ALWAYS mention…Kyrie. Who is the second…Steph. Third….Harden. The reason why people said Bron had no bag wasn’t because he didn’t have counter moves. :mjlol:

The average NBA fan doesn’t care about that or even know what that looks like. They said he had no bag because his handles were ugly and his game wasn’t smooth. That’s literally it.

I don’t know why we are trying to make this term mean more than what it does. It’s not that deep.

Jordan fake right crossover = most unstoppable ball handling move in nba history


All paul pierce cap at any goat. Is to take shine away from mike. Then to try to fake amplify bron. So pierce can be like he won 9ne series and a title against bron. While never being on shyt before he got a super team.
When pierce had toine wit'eem tho.

to draw comparison to pierce needed help like bron.
With the covert mj hate.
