Paul Pierce: Antoine Walker was ahead of his time

[desjardins]

Keith Van Horn was ahead of his time too then
Shot the 3 less than toine but way more efficient

None of that analtyic bullshyt would tell you what exactly what was going on. He was good enough from 3 that you had to guard him, a couple percentage points be dammed, I saw the shyt with my own two eyes. He would feast and probably shoot at a higher clip in todays game because it would damn near be expected.

Antoine Walker was an inefficient chuck. We’re not talking about Guard. Toine was a low % shooting big man. Miss me with trying to rewrite history.

He’s a better rebounding, worse shooting and shot selection, Tobias Harris


As a sizers fan watching something similar, he ain’t ahead of sh1t

 

[Womb Raider]

Trent Richardson was ahead of his time and OL, too

Toine had no issue firing them up but that doesn't mean he was great at them. If he had shot a few less of them a game and concentrated in the mid range and post area we are talking about a 20 10 and 5 type player. And he actually reached or got damn close to that level anyway early in his career. Should have continued on that trajectory instead of turning into a jump shooter.

Tobias will never be on the cover of any video game, in any era

Talking their game. Toine had personality on the court, whereas tobi is stoic. Also toine was a national champion in college, he had actual fans, and his game was different with a big guy (not skinny) shooting threes AT THE TIME, now it’s normal.

Anthoine Walker is one of the worst shooters in NBA history.

41% FG%
32.5% 3P%
63.3% FT%
48.4% TS%

 

[Jplaya2023]

Yet he’s a career 33% 3PT shooter. Tell me you didn’t watch Toine play, without telling me.

Later in his career when he got fat and lazy his numbers fell off.

Toine from 97-02 ish was a great NBA player

Toine had two all stars seasons where he shot under 40% from the floor. This is a 6’8 PF we are talking about. Stop trying to rewrite history.

Antoine was that dude. His issue was that he got lazy and fell in complete love with the 3. He abandoned going inside which was half of his game.

 

[MJ Truth]

He wasn't making them

Doesn't matter.

This was the best version of Toine. His rating in this game was a 81 I think, the same as TD and KG. EA had him slated as a member of the up-and-coming young star PF trio (TD on Live 2000 Cover, KG on Live 01 cover). But it was revealed later that Toine wasn't on that same level.
