it's stupid though, if you're pointing out that it's totally different because basketball changed as a sport with the ins ution of the three point line then doesn't the road run
both ways? Your record is no longer applicable to the sport we play today? So your record is what, ing ETERNAL now if any of those points higher than your total come from the three point line? Dudes gotta play like it's 1978?
I love the Iceman but I'm always not-down with old basketball players ing and moaning about contemporary trends and players (it's getting even ing worse with dudes from the 90s or dudes STILL in the league like Kobe, back in my day blahblahblahblah grit heart DANG THESE STATS!!!) and I'm not really changing that opinion because he happens to be a Spur. Retired players unable to play anymore, stuck in the past, just grasping at whatever they can in the present, often diminishing the achievements of contemporary players, whatever dude stop shouting at me to get off your lawn.
You better believe this just makes him look like a
petty hater to all the non-Spurs NBA fans unless they're specialized fetishizers of the past or ing Bill Simmons.
Like sorry dude, I'm pretty sure most of those glorious classic Celtics teams would look like old men on the court in today's NBA.
And before you start ranting about monkeyball vs. b-ball IQ and all that bull , we wouldn't be anywhere in this current era without Kawhi Leonard's athleticism and physical abilities so you can stick that racist Eurotrash bull right back up your ass (UUUHHH YOU'RE RUNNING FASTER AND JUMPING HIGHER IN THIS SPORT OF BASKETBALL, HOW DARE YOU FILTHY AMERICANS!!!!! WHAT WE ARE BAD AT IS CLEARLY CHEAP AND DUMB!!!!). Except for a set number of old legends (including admittedly dudes like the Iceman, and obviously Wilt was enough of a unique specimen to own the top athletes of today's age) a lot of those dudes would get totally owned by today's athletes.
Retired athletes just need to be able to nod, smile, and go, "Not bad young fella". Keep that petty "BUT WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!" to yourself dude. There's a reason it's funny. There's a reason everyone laughs.
