Doesn’t Scott skiles have the most ast in a game record?Sorry Eddie. I was there. Redick would have been a top 7 shooting guard in the 90s. Your league had Vinnie Del Negro and Jeff Hornachek starting and nobody "tested" them.
????So its ridiculous to hold incompetent whites accountable for their GM'ing malpractice which resulted in absolutely horrendous draft picks and player acquisition for a near decade before LeBron rescued the franchise from the gutter?
He was a starting NBA PG in the 90s. All jokes aside.. You think that muthafucka can play in todays NBA? Not start we know thats not happening.. But PLAY!!!!???Doesn’t Scott skiles have the most ast in a game record?
Yao Ming over ShaqDetlef Schrempf and Christian Laetner played in all star games as big men in the 90's as well, and did just fine. 90's niggas feed off Jordan's entitlement to just lie and make up shit. They've seen it work for him for 40 years and just follow suit.
On orders of LeBron. Wiggins was a horrible pick. You're making my point. Horrendous organization. Keep in mind the year prior they took Anthony fucking Bennett.. Heres what i said about Bennett in real time 12 years ago...Cavs picked Wiggins and flipped for love = championship
Hes a testament to just how awful an organization the Cavs truly are. They win the lottery twice since Lebron leaves (a joke in and of itself) and they burn the latest #1 on Bennett. An undersized, overweight, tweener, whose stock was plummeting leading up the draft because of work ethic and injury concerns. Then the bastard came into camp 30lbs overweight.
Why hasn’t all those guards u named and loved and saw didn’t break his record?He was a starting NBA PG in the 90s. All jokes aside.. You think that muthafucka can play in today’s NBA? Not start we know thats not happening.. But PLAY!!!!???

The Worst No. 1 NBA Draft Picks Ever (Thoughts?)
1989 - Pervis Ellison - Kings "Never Nervous Pervis" was a force for Louisville, winning Most Outstanding Player while leading his team to the national title in 1986. The Kings took him with the first pick, but he saw limited action his rookie year due to injury. Danny Ainge went so far as to...www.bgol.us

Im gonna pay you the respect you didnt pay me and answer your question.Why hasn’t all those guards u named and loved and saw didn’t break his record?
This applies to a lot of people who live in this thread, there's a bunch of you who act like LeBron fucked your girl in high school while you where waiting for her at prom.Go wolves >>>
Im naming starters from that era that wouldnt sniff a bench seat in todays game.Rod Strickland?
Kevin Johnson?
Nick the quick?
You picking out 2 cacs to prove your argument is disingenuous
Come on bro, didn't you know that the NBA is the only sport where talent and athleticism has gotten worse over the years! It's the only sport that goes backwards! If you ask the Jordan obsessed fans that is lmao nevermind that humans are generally taller, faster, and stronger than ever before, nevermind that strategy and analytics has evolved thanks to advancement in technology, nevermind that sports science and medicine is so advanced that people who played in the 90s could only dream of the science and medicine available to todays players, just trust them, Jordan good. LeBron bad. LmaoBecause its objectively better and ive seen more live basketball than youve seen if you live two life times. Guard play in indisputably better today. I just named two long time starting shooting guards from MJs prime. Neither would sniff the court today. We can make an argument about 90s bigs.. but guard play today is markedly better. Skill and talent.
As for defense.. turn on a game from the 90s and watch as no one guards the 3 point line and, movement is stagnate, and how packed inside the arc is. Todays players have to extend defense beyond the arc. No longer can you win a game playing bully ball and first to 85 points win. Its ok to admit the game is better today. The NBA is the only professional league that sells fools like you and Costanza on the myth that todays game and athletes have actually regressed and are lesser than guys from 30 years prior. A league heavily populated with white Americans and drug addicts mind you. Do you know how fucking absurd that is?
These niggas are literally insane.Come on bro, didn't you know that the NBA is the only sport where talent and athleticism has gotten worse over the years! It's the only sport that goes backwards!

LeBron bad. Lmao
So Chris Paul couldn’t break his record whilst playing with countless hall of famers and All starsIm gonna pay you the respect you didnt pay me and answer your question.
It hasnt been broken because it was accomplished in a watered down league where guards with limited talent played a half court game and fed bigs. Todays guard are more skilled and dynamic and cant just pass in to bigs and cherrypickers. These guys can also pass, dribble and shoot at are far higher level and stuff the stat sheet as opposed to being one dimensional assist guys. Skiles averaged 10 points game.. Show me a 6 year starting NBA PG getting away with that level of offensive ineptitude today.
Now, again, can Scott fucking Skiles play in todays NBA? Yes or No.
George played 2 positions and has over 700 homerunsBabe Ruth>>> Derek Jeter
Nick van axelIm naming starters from that era that wouldnt sniff a bench seat in todays game.
And kill the bullshit.. Strickland couldnt shoot his way out of a paper bag if you gave him a uzi.. Guy was an average NBA starting guard and a 14ppg player who made one all star if that. No idea who "nick the quick" is.. And Kevin Johnson was a very good starter but an outright putrid shooter from beyond 20 feet. My point remains.
Ben Simmons has more all stars and avg more points than Rod Strickland, are we saying that he’s a better offensive player than Rod?Im naming starters from that era that wouldnt sniff a bench seat in todays game.

Man Amazon cant get these games fast enough for me. Barkleys act is beyond tired. When DLo had his one good game he does off taking veiled shots at LeBron.. "who they gonna blame tonite!?".. DLo shits the bed every other game and hes silent. Westbrook has a good game and he goes off on the Lakers for "blaming" Westbrook when he was there. Westbrook shits the bed every other nite and hes silent. Tonite out of no where he again trashes "Laker players" while defending Ham and calling him a good coach.
To have your most vocal talking head have such an obvious bias against the guy who has carried the league two decades while also constantly shitting on the product and current gen players is bad business. Dude is bad for the NBA.
The decade of repetitive Warriors hate 2015-24 never registered with you but he’s anti-“Bron” so now he’s “bad for the NBA” Wild to be that much of a Stan…
Not as much as two decades of unmitigated hate and veiled personal attacks against the best player the league has ever seen. This predates your bandwagon fandom and cheerleading. Goes back before Steph was even in the league and when you were still deciding if you were gonna be a homo or not wit the guy on your couch.
Sports: 60 Minutes w/ Charles Barkley - Kevin Durant 'part of that generation who think he can't be criticized' & more!

KD acts like Charles wasn’t asked for his topline thoughts on several people. He was asked for his KD take and gave it. It is a tired take but it’s not like Charles forced KD into the conversation.
It’s not that he’s a hater— Lord knows I’ve heard him make this exact same point in praise of LeBron 100 times over the past 5 years:
He’s just repetitive. In his general speaking style and in his talking points. He isn’t going to get less repetitive as he gets older. KD’s tired need to always respond ironically reinforces the criticism.
Cut the bullshit. These guys were drafted in 97 and had no overlap of primes with MJs era of the 90s. You're full of shit.Steve nash
AI
And Maurbury was all great 90s guards and advanced with each year
Derrick Fisher is another Great Guard from the 90s who can play at all levels.
If you can get past the hormonal fluctuations you have whenever LeBron's name comes up, here's some context from last year showing your perception to be skewed:
They was drafted in ‘96 and excelled before the year 2000Cut the bullshit. These guys were drafted in 97 and had no overlap of primes with MJs era of the 90s. You're full of shit.
Babe Ruth was a fat white guy who played against guys who just got off their day jobs. Stop it.George played 2 positions and has over 700 homeruns
Derek jeter was in a 3 way tie as the best SS with Nomar and Arod and the latter came over and took over his team.
I like Jeter a whole lot, but LOL
Maybe , just maybe if u woulda said Mantle
HuhCut the bullshit. These guys were drafted in 97 and had no overlap of primes with MJs era of the 90s. You're full of shit.
Ohtani is doing what the bambino was doing and it took over 100+ years to do soBabe Ruth was a fat white guy who played against guys who just got off their day jobs. Stop it.
