Yeah shooting 50 threes a game and leaving wide open lanes, paint and perimeters is really more intense. Damn. Those injuries must come from intense step backs and euro steps. 3 second rule now means even defenders can’t clog lanes. Wide open lanes and no hand checking means anyone can score in today’s NBA. Luka said today’s NBA is easier to score in than a Euro league. That’s pathetic. There’s a reason they’re now talking about changing it again to bring defense back.
Try watching any of these guys guard Shaq in the paint, take a screen from Malone or have Jordan locking them up. Battle a rebound with Rodman. Try and escape a press from Scottie. It’d be laughable.
Bro they literally eject dudes for accidentally slapping guys in the face now. Dudes back in the day could adapt to today’s game given the massive improvements in tech and knowledge. All that padding and modern players still break. Guys today couldn’t handle the classic game if you put em in a time machine. Their bodies are fragile in TODAY’S no touch game. They’d shatter.
Many of the top athletic stats are still held by old players.
Yeah, they got 100M on the line evading them from any passion in the game and softening them into coddled butter. Can’t even finish a playoff run where the most common shot is an open three. Please. There’s a reason ratings are down. Believe it or not but people enjoy watching good D. 145-150 games don’t mean offense is better now, it just means the multiple rules the game enacted to make scoring way easier have succeeded.
Dad bod plumbers?�� Jocik and Luka, two of today’s best players look and move less athletic than nearly any top tier player in the past. Jocik, your MVP who got ejected for accidentally touching a guys face (who dropped to the floor like he got shot) looks like he never worked out a day in his life. Dude has the most dad plumber bod of any MVP in history.
So nah, I don’t think today’s 6’6 players (smaller and lighter than average players of the past, meaning guards have a lot less big towers to climb over) could handle an intense game of heart and survivalism. Wait till they hear they don’t get individual private jets.
These guys can’t even handle no touch defense without getting injured. Let’s see how long they hold up a game crying to the ref cause Payton’s smothering em and running his mouth about their mama. KD will have to create a few new burner accounts.
And LOL NO. The goofeball flops of today never happened back then. Dudes didn’t gyrate bodies into each other and get calls or grab each other’s arms to gain fouls. The fact that you put “flop” and the Bad Boy Pistons in the same sentence makes me question if you ever watched games before 2010. Don’t equate hitting the pavement hard with today’s clown flop where grown men twist their bodies in mid air pretending a tornado hit them. You’re actually proving my durability point.
