No fundamentals is a pretty accurate assessment of today's product.

yeah in a league where 7 footers now are regular takers of 15-20 foot jumpers, fundamentals have disappeared

the level of skill and fundamentals in the NBA is very high right now

you're probably one of those guys who thinks that shaq didn't have basketball skills

It's like the last time they watched the NBA, Iverson and Rasheed Wallace were two of the more relevant players

exactly

Iverson, ironically, was liked by a lot of white people because of his heart

he was certainly polarizing, but look at the frickers i just posted (in pics)

people think the NBA = 300 iversons, when it's really nerdy arse guys

also, i love people talking about how there is no intensity/hard fouls but then complaining that there aren't thugs

oh it's been big for 5 years or so at least

only one of those pics would count as a kanye, to me (the westbrook one)

but people can't tell me that there is some magical thug culture in the NBA when they're dressing and acting completely fine

what prominent player is a thug? zbo maybe?

Once people realize that Bynum gives 0 fricks, they will be able to embrace him.
