THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[based mod]

Currently yeah

I said if CP3 wins a championship..he would have a solid case for the 2nd best of all time..all those other point guards have debatable things in their resumes

You don't actually believe what you're saying do you?

I would say 3rd. Isiah won two championships, was the heart and soul of the Bad Boys, and competed against Magic and MJ and did well.

 

[a-friend]

A lot of NBA players from back then wouldn't even be stars in today's league.

True or False?

Back when?
90's yes
80's yes
70's and back, don't know didn't see

 

[Platinum State]

Happy for Seth.

GP
Tim Hardaway
Mitch

IDK about Chuck tho

would all florish easy

 

[glennvagmire]

Barkley would dominate. He was a animal.

 

[glennvagmire]

JuJuRa got a little Barkley in him too.

 

[keel252]

Yea Chuck was a savage man.

 

[kevlar]

Guards and wing players from the 90's would prosper with today's defense.

 

[keel252]

those 90s Pacer and Knicks teams would come out the East nowadays.

 

[keel252]

Forgot about Kevin Johnson too he would do numbers in todays game.

Glenn Rice
Steve Smith
CWebb
Sprewell
Dumars
Kemp
Grant Hill
Pip


Bruh 90's players would do numbers in todays game.

 

[jphysique]

Aw man imagine Glenn Rice lighting it up in todays game! 

 

[Quincy McCall]

 

[IATT]

Forgot about Kevin Johnson too he would do numbers in todays game

.

This is who I'd love to see in today's game.. No hand checking on kj

 

[dathbgboy]

Aside from aggressiveness, the players of yesteryear would dominate because of the fundamentals they had in their game and their bball IQs. Back then coming out of college, it wasn't really about money and was much more focused on fundamentals, team work, work ethic.

 

[wavycrocket]

If he comes back fully recovered from that injury.....

We are looking at a top 5 player in 3-5 years

yep

i remember watching a docu about Chris Jackson aka Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf and he was speaking about how the game is so weak and such a struggle bc you have specialist now in the game. Like playermakers who cant score or athletes that cant play basketball and how nowadays they draft off potential. He basically was saying how you had to be able to do everything back then like really know how to play basketball. He was speaking the absolute truth too. The game back then in the late 80's and all of the 90's was the real deal.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I think a lot of guys wouldn't be able to play in today's NBA. I'm not buying this "guys were more fundamental" argument either

 

[keel252]

Glenn Rice
Steve Smith
CWebb
Sprewell
Dumars
Kemp
Grant Hill
Pip
Pat
Karl
Stockon
David
Hakeem
Magic
Domonic
Zeke
Penny
Zo
GP
Tim Hardaway
Mitch
Clyde

bruh who on this list couldnt play in the league today?

 

[addict4sneakers]

let me rephrase, I'm not disrespecting any 90s players.

But Clyde drexler would be Gerald green in today's NBA. I think Barkley is an all time great, but I don't think his game would be able to translate as well either.

 

[8pm at msg]

Clyde and Dominique used to dominate and they couldn't even dribble without looking at the ball.

That's so backwards.

With that being said, certain guys would translate better than others. I actually believe the role players of today are better than the role players of the past, while the stars are give and take.

[keel252]

i would question Dumars bc of his lack of athleticism as 6'4 2...but man he could strap up, create and shoot the hell outta the ball.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

One thing is for sure: Chris Paul would be ringless in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s.

 

[keel252]

i like this debate bc i just pulled up 2015's current roster and man its a struggle out there at the 2 spot right now.


Mitch would avg 20+ easy...

this is a list of starting 2s nowadays.

KK
Ellington
Avery
KCP
Foye
JJ
Courtney Lee
Kevin Martin
Eric Gordon
Waiters
Robert Covington
Ben McLemore
Gerald Henderson
Alec Burks
