“Handchecks are a cheap way to control a defender instead of using your feet/body to gain position.”



Thanks for admitting you’ve never played basketball in your life lol…


Btw Hand checks are used by the defender not on the defender dipshit

My bad. You caught a typo. Obviously I know what a handcheck is. That you have to go this far back in an argument to find a w is not a good look bro.

More hypocrisy and how should I know that you know what it means? You don’t know what drop coverage is, you don’t know how switching a ball screen works. Hell you don’t know much of anything besides common terms used on tv and you don’t even know what they mean. “Defensive schemes” lmfao, I mean when you say shite like that nobody should assume you know anything.

I love to play and watch basketball. I still follow the NBA and will get into the playoffs but rarely watch the regular season.

The players and especially the bigs are very talented in today’s era but just not as good of a product to watch.

I never watch WNBA and declining interest in men’s college (until tourney time) so part of it might be my limited free time aspect.

I don't expect you to know much of anything at this point. You just sound like a bitter old head.

Yes I do.

Is this your way of dodging not having to admit what teams run defensively in this era vs the past? The same question you don't answer because you know it proves you wrong?

So as I predicted this would go, after all your kicking and screaming and cry baby shite when I get down to explaining and trying to have a discussion you just start lying, projecting and making these weird proclamations. Thanks for confirming everything I said, people like you are stupid and insecure and can’t defend a thing you say.

I asked you two questions: If you thought there were more defensive schemes run today than 20 years ago, and if you think teams are more offensively efficient today than 20 years ago.

Your response

lmfao just like I thought


You're the insecure one. You haven't given one shred of evidence to support anything you've said all day. Take care.

Again nothing but lies and can’t discuss anything outside of a narrow slanted scope that affords nothing but your way. Every accusation and slur you hurl is projection. You’re alleging exactly what you’re doing. A can’t miss sign of low intelligence, insecurity and dishonesty.

Lol ok. I'm done with you bud. People can go back and look at this thread and judge for themselves. I don't care to engage with you any further.

Madking and Whatiknowsofar should get a room; watching you two fight like middle school girls is comedy, but a bit excessive. And I am not an NBA fan or hater.

The euro step, no real defense, phantom fouls, no true centers, pickup style basketball, league full of players bred to be 3 pt shooters. To a lesser extent, teams unidentifiable at first glance wearing 7-8 different uniform combinations. They look like dudes who dressed in the parking lot on the way into the gym.

They took the too physical game of the early 90’s and went 180 degrees too far to a way too finesse game.

The social shite doesn't bother me in the least as I still love the NFL. I try 3-4 times a year to get back into the NBA and it just disappoints every time.

Growing up in the 80s and going into the 90s, it was fabulous to watch. It’s basically just street ball now.


What is hilarious is that is exactly what the oldheads said about 80s and 90s NBA ball.

It's crazy to me that the age demos focused on here look at late 90s/early 00s ball as this apex when it was ROUTINELY called "street ball" (For good reason).

It was gross, iso-based street ball. Go look up highlights for any non-Phil Jackson or Jerry Sloan team and it's pretty much all iso street ball. I never understand how they can watch that and the limited man-only defense and then say today's movement, passing, and shooting is "street ball" and that "nobody plays defense" today.

It got so bad/ghetto that Stern had to institute a dress code in the mid-00s.

Lebron is making a joke of the league.

Player got too much power. Pussies have to take a third to a quarter of games off these days. due to "Load management" which is a crock.

The superstars got power by being valuable and rare. That's just market forces.

very few players are actually doing this.

The Spurs did this first with Tim, Tony, and Manu.

Master class by whatiknowsofar. Providing objective data to support his arguments.

Only critique is you gave bro too much attention.

Let the haters be. They're minds have been corrupted by propaganda and they're no longer able to objectively form opinions or ideas.

MuhNoDefense.
MuhNoEffort.
MuhStreetball.

Imagine a genius room of basketball operators like Pat and Spo reading these takes.

Imagine watching a guy like Jokic and calling it "street ball".

Poor Zach Lowe is disappoint.
