@Draje

all that matters to me is who the best individual player is

if we could have the rest of the scrubs go sit i would go with that

like how many cats today can you just tell them kill whoever they put in front them¿

no running a maze of routes off the ball a million and one picks and screens etcetera etcetera

just pure individual ability and ingenuity

Kobe avg 35.4 ppg during the 05/06 season,but only 27.9 during the playoffs.What good is scoring all them damn points during the regular season if your point production is going to drop by 20% during the postseason ?...Kobe would've been better off just pacing himself,then turning it on during the post season.Could have avoided a lot of injuries.

The scoring average during 1990 was higher than the scoring average today. Teams were averaging 107ppg. Yet people are talking like these 1990 players were going up on suffocating defenses?

The Golden State Warriors averaged 116ppg in 1990 with their highest scorers being Chris Mullin, Mitch Richmond, and Terry Teagle. Yet Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson would have been locked down.

Portland averaged over 114ppg that year and were only 4th in the NBA in scoring. This is a Portland team that had almost no three-point shooting (Terry Porter was the only player on the team to average even 0.5 threes a game) and no post players at all. Kevin Duckworth was an all-star in that era averaging 16-18ppg. If you forgot was Kevin Duckworth's game looked like, think, "a softer, fatter, lazier Zaza Pachulia."

Karl Malone got 31ppg, Tom Chambers averaged 27ppg that year, Chris Mullin averaged 25pg, and Jeff Malone, a 6'4" shooter with no three-point shot, averaged 24.3ppg that year. Tony Campbell (I can't even remember - who da fukk was Tony Campbell?) averaged 23.2ppg and still only finished 14th in the NBA in scoring.

Yet prime Jordan averaging 33ppg in the high-scoring early 90s would magically up that to 60ppg in the current era.

"driving lanes everywhere"
"paint is wide open"
"they wanted to open up the game amd make it faster"

good little snippet

When coli kats say this.....kats say people hating. Yet current and former players been saying this shyt for years.

As I been saying on here it is no more different than the NFL having open passing lanes and not being able to punish WRs.

part of what allowed mj for instance to build such a mythology is that true blue destruction of all proposed contemporaries

like shaq said way back when they first killed the 1v1/iso era this is the pros if you can't stand on your own then take your ass to europe or something

Just watch a Heat/Knicks game from the late 90s/early00s and see how different it was. There'd be a ejection every game nowadays

 

[ryderldb]

What year did they change the illegal defense rules?

IF U TAKE KOBE'S GREATEST SCORING SEASON IN TERMS OF RATIO AND COMPARE IT TO JORDAN'S GREATEST SCORING SEASON IN TERMS OF RATIO, IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE LOL....THIS WAS ALREADY PROVEN TOO. KOBE SCORED 35+ PPG IN THE TRIANGLE OFFENSE. IN A FREE-FLOWING OFFENSE LIKE THE ONES MJ PLAYED IN DURING THE 80'S, THAT'S EASILY AN EXTRA 5+ POINTS. NOT EVEN DEBATABLE TBH.

You are stupid.

Not my era ( I was born in the late 80s) but Im always shocked by how much dudes were scoring in the 80s. Seemed like it was the norm for every team in the league to have 3 starters averaging 20 plus.

You clown. Just because you find another stan online who wrote something to boost these Kobe myths doesn't make it a fact.
