It’s just basketball though. These professionals would be able to play in any era. The rules and style would be the biggest differentiators. Not every new player would be able to play the old school way and vice versa. Big men are more skilled but guard play isn’t. Isaiah Thomas would murder in today’s game. The floor is more spaced out. You can’t breathe on a dude. A mf like Kenny Smith would be an all star. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf would clear mf’s.

John Salley tall lanky slow ass wouldn’t be able to play but that’s it. And as far as Athleticism goes,

Jokic probably the best in league right now and his athleticism is….well come on now.
Excellent points. Especially with the Jokic part. Remember Larry Bird couldn't jump over a dime most of his career either.

Clippers didn't need Harden. They already were building chemistry from last season. It was evident.

But now, they have to hold these Ls because Harden is a loser.
What's crazy is that Westbrook was doing pretty well...imo


But ty might get the blame and possibly rightfully so


You're right but I think the real culprit is the owner. He seems like the type that would make this type of move to get headlines.

Once Embiid stops turning the fuckin ball over Sixers can beat anybody

Sixers are showing they had the pieces. They just had to get rid of the cancer Harden and better coaching. They’ve done those two things and now the sky is the limit. If Embiid can stay consistent and limit those turnovers like you said, NBA Finals bound. We all watched Maxey grow into the player the Sixers really needed. Fuck a Harden

Yeah, the bench was our sixers problem as well.

Once they got a good coach in nurse and improved the bench then everything started falling into place.

My team is fun to watch without all the bullshit drama.

The Heat gonna have to take the regular season a little more seriously this year. They don’t wanna dig themselves into a big hole with a bad seed/matchup come playoff time this time around. Fuck around and lose to the Pacers or some shit:lol:

Harden and Glenn wasn't shit. Glenn doesn't have the ability to develop young players. Nurse does. With Harden gone look how much better Harris is playing. He doesn't disappear in games anymore

We started to get our groove but with Tyler going down we're going to be in trouble for awhile.
There's nobody to replace his scoring

“Not a lot of people can get their own team at such a young age,” he says. “And I learned at the highest level, now I can apply that. Really turn the city around and get something exciting.”

“Playing the game I love at the highest level, my family is taken care of, my basketball legacy is taken care of with the ring,” he says. “This is probably the first time in my life I’ll play basketball with no pressure. So that’s kind of how you look at it. But it’s a really good opportunity. It’s a cool opportunity, dope opportunity.”


If I'm Washington, I want this guy feeling pressure. He's 24 and talking like everything is gravy from here on out, just extra icing on the cake.
Dude was the #4 leading scorer for Golden State in the finals with 13.2 ppg on 43% shooting and almost had enough assists per game (1.8) to cancel out his turnovers (2.0).

Legacy assured! He could just retire but benevolently blesses basketball with his continued presence.

Has anyone with the potential of Jordan Poole ever expressed such complacency after winning one championship early in his career?
