Nash won 2 MVPs and Kobe avg exploded right after hand checking removed

[desjardins]

I know it changed the game but I never realized those two things coincided with the revision of the rule in 04-05.
Got me thinking should we even be comparing players between the two eras

that year also coincided with Shaq leaving so he can take more shots

KOBE AVERAGED 30 PPG IN THE HAND-CHECKING ERA

REACH THREAD

 

[ISO]

shytty ass thread.

Nash won MVP’s off anchoring the 7SOL offense and turning Phoenix from a bottom dweller to a contender.

Kobe’s scoring average jumped from playing on a piss poor supporting cast which led to him increasing his shot volume.

And as always if you bring up handchecking you also have to consider the zone ban was lifted and 90’s players didn’t play under true handchecking.

And people don’t know this but Nash and Nowitzki had the number 1 offense in Dallas the three years just before he left

Edit

Three years in Dallas not just two

Lack of hand checking and physical defense is why Steph Curry is able to be a star in the NBA

 

[McPiff]

kobe was already a beast during hand checking era.

this thread is a fukking reach.

i hate all y'all lol

This is defense in 1992. Full-on handchecking allowed, a deciding game in the Finals. THIS is what ya'all are telling me is supposed to scare LeBron and Curry:





Where's all the deadly hand-checking? They giving the weakest calls to the Bulls left and right.

I'm sorry, but a team that played defense that weak today wouldn't go anywhere in the playoffs.
