Steph says that today’s NBA is the most skilled era of all time

The Akron Sniper has spoken

FOH

Most of these cats are scared of contact, can't defend, can't score without carrying/traveling, need 2000 dribbles to beat their man off of the dribble, mid range is damn near non existent too.

Most skilled, maybe most bytchmade but not skilled.

Klay scored 60 with 11 dribbles

Players now have more stylistic freedom. Rules were different back then, 2 steps MEANT 2 steps, Euro steps were called travel, couldn’t palm the ball while dribbling it was called carry, big men weren’t allowed to play out of the paint (even though some could), wasn’t allowed to shoot 3 pointers at a high rate no matter how great of a shooter you were.

Not more skilled, they have more freedom.

This made me think of when Andrew Bynum got benched for taking a 3



This was well after Steph started his career. Not that Bynum was a great shooter by any means, but now you can't imagine any player being benched for shooting.

The game has just changed so much so quickly

I remember this. I screamed laughing, Drew gave no effs!

Now look at foul baiting sga

 

[William Heavy]

Depends on how you define skill. I miss the days when big guys could score in the post, set picks, box out, etc.. Now all these Centers just shoot jumpers and are soft as baby shyt. The league went from a big mans game, they changed the rules and now the game benefits little guys the most. Guys like Isiah Thomas and Kevin Johnson would benefit even more if they played in todays game.

Steph speaking facts

 

[Leonard Washington]

Has a star from the 60s, 70s or 80s ever retroactively admitted that their own era was trash, less skilled, and/or would be food if they had to play in any decade that proceeded (or preceded) their own?

Everyone thinks their era is the prime era right?

Big O & George Gervin

 

[EBK String]

Horseshyt. Big men just shoot threes and dribble now instead of playing the post. Big men had handles and could shoot back then but they had to specialize to play a specific role. These are the top 0.0001% of players in the world, they were skilled then they are skilled now.

That argument died after the Bulls & Hornets combined to miss 75 3s in one game.

An outlier from two of the worst teams in the NBA last season?

No, Because you can see so many players jacking up shots thinking they're Steph Curry.

 

[Jplaya2023]

Victor Wembanyama is 7 feet tall with practically a point guard skill set.

Today’s NBA player would have been unthinkable 20 or 30 years ago.

Notice how only the ‘90s responds even though Steph didn’t mention any single decade. Hit dogs holler.

Plumber era in their feelings.

Charles Barkley only played in the 90s?

Coli Nikkas and they gendas

I think if there’s an agenda it’s being pushed by people from past eras to glorify themselves and belittle those who came after them.

They have but not in those words. They admit todays players are bigger stronger faster quicker than them. But they feel today's players are mentally weaker than them
