lol overrating magic

lol saying that more FTs are shot in todays NBA than in the 80s, when the 80s actually shot more FTs

lol changing subject when proven wrong to comparing players instead of eras

lol comparing drex to kobe

lol changing subjects every post, then accusing me of changing subjects

lol getting mad then saying you werent mad

Hehe, what's wrong? You seem kind of dumbfounded; would you like some hints how to argue my points? You can keep jumping through the hoops and try to get some sort of reaction out of me, but you should put a little tact into it. You see how just calling you kid made you rage like a 10 year old? That's the kind of delicate eloquence required.

Anyways, like I said, never compared players just FTA. By your logic there, Kobe will surpass MJ. So far I showed evidence to back up what I said, all you did was change the subject and sticker lol on everything thinking it's a rhetorical tool.

Use your brain, squirt.

lol backtracking again

lol saying you never compared players, only FTAs, then after i showed the different in FTAs in each era, you compared players

lol dumbass noob that thinks i was actually "raging" earlier

lol overrating magic

Saying lol and boob don't really help your cause, kid. I said kid before just to strike a nerve, and it worked fairly well; now I say it because you actually must be a kid, surely a grown man wouldnt call somebody a noob in a sports forum. Isn't that gaming lingo used by kids on xbox?

Anyways, I only compared FTAs, not players. You wanted to turn this into a player comparison and I politely stated the futility of it. As for overrating Magic, well, I simply said he was the best leader. Somebody stat-minded, such as yourself, seem to be ignorant of things that aren't put in the boxscore.

I digress, though, you have yet to provide an argument that the 80s had stricter officiating. Would you like to go off subject some more, use childish phrases like lol and noob, cower from addressing the topic and embarrass yourself some more?

Mono, finally acting like somebody.

You haven't given any evidence that the 80s had stricter officiating, though. You say people had more FTAs, but star players didn't get that many compared to today. I simply sought a cited reason why you believe something that goes against the near-universal consensus of basketball fans & authorities.

[stretch]

lol putting words in my mouth saying that i claimed 80s had stricter officiating

lol claiming todays players gets way more foul calls when statistics prove that they technically get less

lol not reading where i said that pace and other factors go into that, and that i didnt disagree at all about your claim on officiating being different

lol then proceeding to compare kobe to magic wondering why there is a discrepancy in FTAs, but not understanding MAJOR factors such as playing style

[pass1st]

So you back down from saying the 80s had stricter officiating? Good, that's one point you changed your mind on. Consequently that kind of eliminates your argument regarding why there is a FTA difference. Players back the. Would hack and shove, flagrant fouls weren't in existence so that's what was called a good hard foul. Whistles weren't blown for little bumps very often, except maybe for MJ. What would give parameter players a trip to the line today would be just normal defense in the 80s.

I was kind of waiting for you to back down a little to throw that tid-bit in. There was a reason flagrant fouls were introduced. Of course that pales in comparison to the 70s physicality of the game. Not saying it was an MMA match or anything, but yeah if you truly think a parameter player would get the same whistles he is accustomed to them you're kind of ignorant.

And as had been the way of things, kid, you haven addressed the topic. You just go back to trying to make this a Player comparison. Leave the player comparisons to somebody who cares, I don't care if you're a Kobe fan.

lol still too stupid to read that i never said the 80s had stricter officiating

lol still arguing over nothing at all

[Stalin]

you scros still arguing?

[pass1st]

Doesn't really look like it, bro. He gave up a while ago, just going through the hoops like a monkey now. Stamping lol to everything and pussied out of the original discussion; went as far as to use "noob" as an insult.

Use your brain, squirt.
