There’s currently 6 players averaging over 30 ppg. What does it even mean at this point?

[CrimsonTider]

Who cares? You don't even watch games.

I do watch the games if I’m interest but the regular season is boring af

Everyone runs the same offense where everyone stands around the perimeter while watching a pick and roll with a moving pick forcing the defense to switch

Bro you have been holding on to this for YEARS, why???? With all due respect, its no way you've ever played basketball competitively....this isn't Friday night at the Rucker, it's a TEAM game brodie. If you don't have a connected defense, you don't have one at all.

And even in the illegal defense era that I'm going to assume you're referencing, nikkas weren't just getting off 1v1 on their man, the greater the player, the more eyes fixed in his direction, the more bodies sent his way ....at no point in the history of the sport has that not been the case.

You should watch Ice Cubes 3v3 shyt if they're still doing it, that might be closer to what you're looking for

you gonna ball watch chef & leave klay poole & co. open¿

fukk yeah i love toe to toe matchups

mj mamba mac bubba chuck diesel whoever all the goats advocate for man to man handle your own business

i can respect the team scheme & great coaching

but i am always gonna advocate for what i enjoy

that's nikkas going at it on an island

that's how you see who really got that bag

why whenever you get pros & real hoopers running for fun they automatically run like they out in the rucker or dyckman¿

that doug moe paul westhead don nelson throw the playbook out run & gun 200 on the scoreboard shyte

i don't give a fukk i like what i like ha

What changed after that? Player mentality or a specific rule change?

NBA ADDED FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT

How freedom of movement has changed the NBA

Players, coaches and the NBA's head of officials Monty McCutchen revisit the league's emphasis on freedom of movement ahead of the 2019-20 season.

AND ALSO CHANGED THE WAY YOU
CAN CONTEST A JUMPSHOT.

DEFENDERS WERE ALWAYS TAUGHT
TO CROWD THE SHOOTER BUTS
THATS AN AUTOMATIC FOUL NOW
AND POSSIBLY A FLAGRANT
DEPENDING ON HOW HE LANDS.

SO ZERO RESISTANCE
AND HALF ASS CONTESTS LEADS
TO PLAYERS SCORING AT WILL.

It means the amount of games they played divided by the points scored in each game has averaged 30 PPG

 

[TheNig]

It means that 450 other people couldn't do it.

 

[CrimsonTider]

It means that 450 other people couldn't do it.

I think everyone in nba could score 25 being the primary option

Good podcast discussing this topic

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

Defensive 3 seconds is anti basketball.

What about illegal defense? Is that anti-basketball?

I guess it’s OK as long as it helps Jordan.

Offense talent is on another level.

Can't do shyt to defend some of these guys, used to be only Durant and Curry but now there's a additional cats


Durant was averaging around 28-32 points in a lower scoring era in his early years and still just maintained that even as he became better, but with high efficiency.

At least 3 are going down as all timers in their current pace.

1 is a top 75 player

The other two can also go down as greats possibly. You acting as if it’s randoms doing this. They’d eat in any era

Great offense >> Great defense

Very good offense typically > great defense


But you already knew this
