Guess I don’t have to imagine. imagine having 6 finals losses with ALL that help. Couldn’t be me.

Or feel free to imagine winning 3 in a row with your “second best player” averaging 17.6 points on 40% shooting during a three year playoff run. Who had more help again?

Today’s NBA you gotta force your way to play with possibly the best PF of all time to have a shot at a chip. #MoreHelp

well that’s an unfair statement

DeRozan is a starter on a team that almost made the playoffs
So Jordan would start for a 9th seeded Spurs team of he played today
That’s not bad tbh

Yes

[Rummpd]

MJ the 2nd best player to ever play in the NBA (Kareem was better although not given the rightful acclaim) would dominate todays soft NBA. Conversely, LaRoid would struggle in past eras and crazy as a fox Rodman would have neutralized him defensively any series.

:lol No


2 x DVP

In 90-91 He played such strong defense that the NBA stated he "could shut down any opposing player, from point guard to center."

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/245157-dennis-rodman-the-most-underrated-player-in-nba-history

I say an ESPN broadast that also said he was the greatest all positional defender in NBA history.

More importantly he unlike most soft NBA players today he would not have backed down in any regard to James.

Sadly when he was on SAS he was a headcase because he could have really helped the Spurs at that time.

1996 Payton outplayed Pippen, I'll be generous and say that 1997 was a tie between Scottie and Stockton. Pippen has won other matchups with other teams 2nd options hands down. 4-1-1 in favour of Pippen. Not only that but he also had all-d level 3rd options in Grant and Rodman, great coach, great bench and even great assistant coach (Tex Winter). His teams were stacked period.

Scottie was not only all-star. He was on all-nba 1st team and all-nba-defensive 1st team. Kukoc 6th man of the year. Grant and Rodman were on all-d team too.

And BJ Armstrong and Horace were all-stars after you left Bulls for baseball. You made them worse.

Stock/Malone were like Kobe/Shaq in 97-98 playoffs. Malone was MVP. Jordan was on his last legs and Hornacek should have been the difference maker, but wasn't. No was going to stop Jordan from hitting a couple good shots in the last few minutes had it been close, which of course it was.

Agree. Stockton was great and a hard nosed player but limited athletically and Malone had a tendency to choke - to his credit he overcame his FT weakness but as soon as he came in league Duncan abused Malone day in and day out.

Some information for your Knowledge. Kukoc was god awful in the playoffs the first ring of the second three peat. He shot 39% from the floor in the playoffs and 19% from 3. 19 goddamn percent.

Malone and Stockton were like Kobe Shaq though.

Grant Hill

NVE

Ewing

Olajuwon

Mullin

DRob

Elliott

Iverson

Juwan Howard

Michael Finley

Sir Charles

Reggie Miller

Allan Houston

Damon Stoudamire

basically anyone who can shoot and is even marginally tough

I could go on


it looks bad bc the players were spread out and didnt concntrate on the big market teams. This is before huge cable TV contracts and such. Players got paid less and revenue sharing (I dont think) was not a thing, so each team had one or two good players and the rest scrubs. Also no BS 2020 player movement so no players getting Super Max then demanding trades. Just contract year try harding and try harding to get all star bids, etc. But the 90s had a ton of great players.

[phxspurfan]

players of todays NBA who would get shut down by 90s rules (3 steps is a travel, playoff fouls and hand checking allowed)

Harden
LeBron
Westbrook
Embiid
Ben Simmons
Tatum
Curry
Klay Thompson
DeAngelo Russell
John Wall
Dejounte Murray (not even good today but would be always injured and even worse in an era of physicality)
Anthony Davis
Demarcus Cousins
Durant (would cry so bad after one hard foul by a defending PF or SF)
Tobias Harris
Kuzma
Etc



noe how every players in the 80s-2000s had it rough the first year in the NBA (besides TD) then they learned to bulk up for contact). Today guys like Curry can waltz through the lane putting up floaters or chucking step back 3s and cry to the refs when a defenders legs get within 10 feet of theirs.

[phxspurfan]

players whose games work in both eras (old school and soft offensive era)


Divac
Antione Walker :lol
Dirk
Ray Allen
Korver
Redick
Tyler Herro
Dragic
Harrell
Pat Bev
PJ Tucker
Kobe
Vince Carter
young Shaq
young TD
Jimmy Butler
Dame
Kemp
Marc Gasol
Brook Lopez (2019 the one that can shoot 3s)

basically hard nosed or tougher guys / not necessarily the gazelles but smart and durable, basketball skills like rebounding, defense or shooting


editorial this is also why draft sucks ass these days a lot. Teams want 18-19 year olds with Length a d athleticism and try to teach the basketball skills after the get signed. Problem is not all these kids even want to put in the effort, or can reach high skill ceilings, so they wash out. Also AAU teaches kids to align on super teams and 1v1 play vs team play. Which is why the USA can struggle in international play when facing teams who run systems, play defense, and if they keep it close, have huge advantages on strategy at the end. Vs give the ball to LeBron and clear out kind of offense they have in developmental US leagues.

Glen Rice to me is the guy who would have the biggest jump. I remember watching him in his prime in Charlotte which was from '95-'98. He was great during those 3 years and you can say only Pippen/Hill were better than him at the SF spot. I would say that he was a much better scorer than Pippen/Hill during that 3 year stretch. I think he would blow up in this era. He was a great 3 point shooter and this era would favor his game tremendously.

I thought of him and the Person brothers as well but left them off since posters would probably just pick at Rice's decline later in his career more than his prime. But yes his prime 2-3 years were pretty great and transferable to other eras for sure.

Kevin Johnson

Why would Doc Rivers dominate today's NBA? Iirc, his defense took a hit after rules changes and he was nothing special offensively?
Barkley - dude wasn't great shooter, weak defensively. Imagine him switching on all-star guards or defending pick and rolls. His defense was mostly post play, backing down defender for as long as possible and then shoot or draw double-team and pass out to open teammate. With today soft zones, this skill would be diminished.

Damn, the pace of games in the last few years have been even slower than the 90’s. The PPG in the 90’s continued well into the 2000s :lol

90s Bulls were an equation. Perfectly balanced. Just enough limitations to have you coming back for more.

easily the most well built team in NBA history. others may have had more sheer talent, but in terms of balance, versatility and fit... they were absolutely phenomenal.

they had three of the greatest defenders in history as well - Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman (when he was there). That side of the ball kept them in games until Jordan did his thing.

LeBron wouldn’t survive hand checking
In the 90s LeBron would be allowed to use his genetically superior body to its fullest extent. He would bully and dominate his opponents. His opponents would kneel and cry before him as he flexed his 20” biceps and rippled his pecs. Jordan would break his weak legs trying to keep up with a superior athlete like LeBron.

Can you just imagine how LeBron would obliterate all those white cats in the 1950s nba? :lmao

Exactly. LeBron would clean Stockton’s clock and send him packing straight out of the nba tbh. He’d win the finals recruit year. No one could stop him.

Let's talk about Jordan getting skullfucked by 6 foot 1 Isiah Thomas in 4th quarters


1988 vs Detroit : Game 5, elimination game, Jordan scores only 2 points in the 4th quarter of a close game :lol and the Bulls are eliminated

1989 vs Detroit : game 5, series tied, Jordan scores just 18 pts, including only 1 - ONE - point in the 4th quarter :lmao

Prove it

[Rummpd]

Prove it

It cannot be proven till he is caught but his longevity without injuries alone makes him suspicious as do many other factors and there have been rumors for years. However most fans would rather look the other way from this likely at least in part a fraud. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YaKILPV78DU

I agree. Just imagine him toying with the all white nba defenses from the 1940s. :lmao

I bet LeBron would be a better baseball player than Babe Ruth too. And a better wide receiver than Lance Alworth.

How could someone from the past defend LeBron? They couldn’t. LeBron would be bigger, stronger, taller, and faster, with more skill. Game, set, match.
