Funny. I call it the Fisher flopping era.
Most ref protected players in NBA history
#1 (and not even close) Jordan
The following group:
Durant
Dirk (love him, but look at the types of shots he took and how many whistles he got)
Wade
Malone
Draymond
Harden

Tbh I’m not seeing this great improvement that people are talking about. Y’all keep mentioning Steph and Durant. But I don’t see you mentioning Wall or Westbrook. They can’t shoot worth . Rubio plays in today’s NBA and he sucks too. Somehow Jokic is the most talented big man in the game. Could you imagine him guarding Shaq, Drob, Barkley, Malone or Hakeem. I will agree that the top players today can shoot better than the top players of the 90s. But everybody is so bad at defense today that I don’t think it really matters.
he gets pushed around off ball, but you cant breathe on him any time he drives

dude got fouled plenty, people just werent used to his style of play
Bruh, I live in the Lakers market. I know exactly how much BS Kobe got away with. He could even elbow Mike Bibby in a Game 7 and not get called. There were countless games that he had about nine fouls called on him and he ended up with three b/c the other Lakers were allowed to donate their fouls. And offense, he got all the same ghost fouls Jordan got.
at you trying to proactively sperm shield for Lebron too. There's never been a player who got more fouls by virtue of just taking the ball into the paint.
Not really. He got some very questionable calls. He was largely a jump shooter who somehow averaged more fta in the playoffs than the regular season. He got over 8 fta in the playoffs for years. There isn’t another jump shooter who can pull that off. Until Durant came along.
maybe because he was more than a jumpshooter
dude for years was a beast at dribble drives, especially against other big men. That's why for a couple years, smaller guys with quick hands gave him trouble, forcing him to work on a better post game. In fact the one legged fadeaway wasn't really a consistent part of his game until Carlisle came around. He would shoot it occasionally, but not to the extent he did after Rick started coaching him
Lol elbowed Bibby in game 7, but you know exactly everything about Kobe?Bruh, I live in the Lakers market. I know exactly how much BS Kobe got away with.

can't even get your first fact right
Kobe got his share of superstar calls, just like any superstar, LeBron too. But neither of them were gifted calls to the extent that mike was, not particularly close either.
Game 6. Don't look for nothing wins, bruh. Not unless you want to just admit you're that desperate.Lol elbowed Bibby in game 7, but you know exactly everything about Kobe?

Bottom line is Kobe and MJ were gifted championships. That's pretty significant.
NBA marketing loved that 6 vs 5 sh**.
He’s great at handling the rock. But to say he’s an expert in dribble drive is a little of an exaggeration.
for a 7 footer with mediocre athleticism, he was pretty expert
Oh I would say that. But the refs don't look at your mediocre athleticism or your size, the call a foul.
and that has what, exactly to do with his skills as a dribble driver?
i mean i know that was the original discussion at hand, but you completely changed it by saying it was an exaggeration to say he was a beast dribble driver when attacking opposing big men
Wow the shtick in this forum used to be about how 90's NBA players could not play in the current NBA. Now we have moved on to throwing '00 players underneath the bus. Can't wait to hear the next shtick 5-6 years from now which will be 2010s NBA players can't play in the modern NBA.
He was great for that size. But not great. So why should he get extra fta?
Getting 9 fta for a shooter is unusual. Getting extra fta in the playoffs is even more unusual.
the latter half of this decade has been the softest era of ball i've ever witnessed. not really impressive tbh
You see you misunderstood...
Fisher didn't have a flopping era he flopped his whole career
Manu flopped a lot less once refs emphasized it imho
Fisher never did change
