Let's see how well today's player "move around" if they had to wear Chuck's while playing on a rinky dink court with dead spots that was an ice skating arena the night before after playing 5 games in 5 nights traveling in a train and carrying their own bags to the hotel.

Joel Embiid would tear his ACL every game if he had to play in Chucks.
Man my ankles and feet hurt from just looking at this picture

On the 30 for 30 episode, they showed clips of even the referees being dizzy & dehydrated. Kareem needing an oxygen mask. Same thing happened with Olajuwon in college, he played a national title game in the New Mexico altitude (a mile above sea level) and needed an oxygen mask.

Athletes doing some near superhuman shyt. Ali & Frazier beating the crap out of each other in Manila, it was over 100 degrees and they were under the bright lights.
Yea that was absurd....wasn't Thrilla in Manilla in the morning time too



That muggy ass Thailand heat is no joke.

Shopkeepers be handing out towels water and baby powder to Americans and shyt when they enter the shop.

That's perhaps an indication that the game is a lot tougher and quicker today, it's not that human beings are weaker. All the "pure" physical sports like weightlifting, running, sprinting, swimming, jumping, world strongest man, hardest punch etc. show that human beings are ever stronger.

When you are Joels size and have to do super quick moves, is different than playing at the speed of the first practice of the summer after a month on a yacht as far as your ACL goes.

impressive but players of today move around a lot more. Just getting that outta the way before some retards come in here tryna shyt on Wilt
No they don’t :mjlol:

Y’all just make up shyt

Players got heavier throughout the decades until the game slowed down drastically. The average possessions per game was far higher in the 1960s. It’s a historical fact, you can go look it up. Only in the last decade has the pace sped up to be close to what it was 50 years ago.
