I’m a big proponent of Bird being able to wreck fools in this era.

But he’d make Lebron look dumb?



Also can we get back to what hand checking influenced?

Like we got awesome players now who can’t defend the pnr or can’t shoot quite enough to play late in games or against bad matchups.

Was that a thing for the hand check too?

Like Aw man, so and so is real nice(we’ll call them Gilbert) but the hand checking has picked up in the playoffs and Gilbert here can’t get minutes in the 4th quarter.

For my entire life I’ve heard that guys today could not make it in the days of hand checking. Where the shite did that come from?

It’s pretty much only people who are 45+ who say that shite. It’s just nostalgia. “None of these guys could play against the players I loved when I was young and started watching sports”

We will probably say the same shite in 10 years when some young kid guy who doesn’t play defense and scores 30+ a game comes along and the media sucks his dick

I really wonder how the NBA will go once Lebron leaves. A lot of the current media guys have made careers off of sucking Lebrons cock or constantly hating on everything he does.

Giannas, Luka, Embiid, and Jokic are all foreigners and aren’t very marketable. Morant and Trae Young are unlikable. Zion doesn’t play enough for people to care. Tatum seems nice but boring.

Bird made every opponent look dumb. LeBron would be no different.
