I agree. I feel a lil different about the effect on Bron (his assists woulda been way down and he was never amazing at beating his man with a live dribble) but u are on point with the rest.

Funny how there are 30+ nikkas on this site pushing the tougher defense, handchecking, and all other back in the day type of shyt. But they all avoided this thread :mjlol:.

That video in the first reply would absolutely kill any argument these nikkas could make against today's players. So of course they just flat out avoid it.
My uncles are Knicks fans on my mother's side and my dads older brother is a Celtics fan all between 47-56 years old. That age group absolutely needs to see this video because they're the first group to use this argument. It's a bad argument.

I still think Lebron would've gotten his assists just cause he wanted to get them, but def a real good possibility they would be down. And all it would've taken is a pick and he woulda got to the net all night, or kicked it back and got the assist. He would be unstoppable on a simple pick and roll or pick and pop.

And yea man I completely agree with everything you said I used to argue with dudes all the time about it and they just didn't grasp the concept of it. Some did, most didn't.

What's crazy is the fact that most dudes just simply forgot that the NBA used the zone to counter the lack of handchecking. Most OG's would see this video and be like :ohhh:.

Not as if they did not know, but the whole "handchecking" argument has been used for so long in the media that most nikkas forgot that with handchecking, there was no zone.

I could only imaging what Steph would be doing if you could not even shade him. shyt would be brutal for defenses.

I blame the be like Mike campaign. Stern had a background in marketing and so much work was spent hyping up mike that the lowest common denominators were used because net everyone wants to take the time to hear these things.

shyt drives me fukkin crazy how nikkas act as if teams could pack the paint in the 80's and 90's. Wake up call nikka, the inability to pack the paint back then made it much easier for the greats to beat their on ball defender and get straight to the basket, which caused a lot of late rotations cause u had to stay close to your man on defense.

Im a Jordan, Wade, Shaq, Penny, stan. Easily my all time favorite 4. But when I hear nikkas talk all this "u can't be physical anymore" bullshyt it makes my fukkin bank account hurt. Being able to knock the hell out of somebody is not giving you a fukkin defensive advantage. However, being able to double from anywhere and keep 3 nikkas in the paint and sag off your man anywhere on the court gives MUCH more of an advantage than being able to track a nikka with your hand :pachaha:.

Wtf is wrong with some of u nikkas man. Y'all nikkas just throw shyt in threads and hope for it to stick. Nothing but followers and dikkriders dapping each other with no fact based statements.

AND I'M STILL GONE SLAP THE shyt OUT OF @Liquid bytch ass for being a lame ass fukk boy. nikka wants to ban me cause I want to beat his ass :laff:. Not for trolling, not for bad posting, not for racism, ect. But cause I want to shoot the fade. fukkin bytch.

Breh

Stop mentioning him

He doesn't want to fight you so just move on

nikkas usually say that when talking about weaker less athletic players who are eating now

that hand checking shyt is never said about a tank looking motherfukker like bron or anybody

Nah I've seen this bs for guys like Kobe and Bron too :martin:

Defenders nowadays still do it. I saw Draymond, Iggy and that nikka that was guarding Curry all handchecking like crazy

If Reggie Miller was scoring 20+ a game under those rules, you mean to tell me nikkas like Bron and Curry would struggle to score 20? :comeon::camby:
