Re: am i the only person who sheds a tear when Hakeem and Dennis rodman...

It's a sad thing what the NBA has become today. I grew up in the 90s so i watched guys like Hakeem, Shaq, David Robinson, KG, Tim Duncan, and even MJ dominate in the post.

Their footwork and fundamentals were just on another level. I think in real life now, developing a really good post game took too much work....so big guys preferred to just step out and shoot the 3. It helps that NBA offenses are designed for this now.

This has translated to 2K. But the misconception is, the post game is not dead. Far from it actually. In both 2k and real life, the post game is very effective......its just people dont know how to use it and prefer to shoot 3s instead. There's a reason Duncan has 5 championships and he didn't get them from shooting 3's
