I would say he was positive influence overall, but probably too hardcore. The dress code for example was ridiculous.

Completely agree. He made the NBA the global brand that it is today. For example, IIRC the sport was in its' lowest point, and the finals were not even televised live. He was a great businessman, definitely.

Like a lot of small guards back then his career was pretty short. He was a rookie at 21 and washed at 31. Dynamic taking it to the basket. Didn't shoot 3s much but was a very good foul shooter so i suspect he could have shot 3s well if he focused on it. Even without 3s his scoring efficiency was very good for that time.

That's my list as well. I often go back and forth between including Embiid in the superstar list or not.

Still think Alcaraz is better but Sinner might be the real deal. He's proving me wrong.

Not gonna make an excuse. I was wrong. :cheers:

Have you considered there might have been unique conditions in the 2020-2021 us economy that would have driven demand upwards to support the rise in production value? Maybe several rounds of stimulus injected into the economy. Something like that?

Those aren't rules changes, and there was freedom of movement 10 years ago. There just weren't as many shooters. Thanks to Steph's popularity far more guys come into the league willing and able to shoot 3s compared to back then.

She can't beat Trump at that game, his favorite food is McDonalds.

freedom of movement and just all around how the game is called

This Jokic, Luka and Giannis are the only current superstars KD, LeBron and Curry are superstars in terms of box office but they're all past their primes so I don't consider them superstar level anymore either

Actually it does show how much teams have improved, and Boston dominated. No chance that Lakers team could be at Boston. If you think otherwise then please share the rules changes that dramatically improved offensive efficiency league wide. Some of the increased scoring is due to pace which won't show up in ortg.

I wonder if RRR3 even realizes what a complete sniveling loser he comes off as on this forum.

He stalked 3balls entire family on Christmas. He’s a legit psycho.

Tatum was able to keep Adebayo from running wild. It wasn't a case of him shutting Adebayo down but after Porzingis went out the only real center was Horford (Luke Kornet was also hurt). Tatum demonstrated that he is a solid defense of the power forward position. He would not shut Gasol down but like with Adebayo he would defend Gasol at an...

RRR3 is the biggest hypocrite of all time. He follows several posters around and has the nerve to criticize the OP. He obsesses over me that’s for sure. I got that Jewfro boy shook.

And in the playoffs, statmuse has it listed at 23 PPG on 50% shooting. How effective was Tatum, really? I didn't watch the series, so I don't know. What I do know is that Gasol was one of the most skilled players in league history in the post. A matchup with Tatum would be a bigger disadvantage than having to defend Bam.

Surely you don't use that kind of logic (plug and play) to determine the abilities of past teams? The 2015 Warriors were #1 in TS% that year. Their TS% would rank them #24 this year. They would be ranked #16 in eFG%. And in ORTG they would be ranked #25. Obviously when we look at these metrics, they don't tell the entire story.

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=bam+adebayos+fg%25+versus+jayson+tatum+in+2024 This link says he shot 45.5%. "Bam Adebayo hit 45.5 percent from the field versus Jayson Tatum in 2023-24." But that could be the o overall number vs the Celtics which isn't the same thing.

lmfao

Apologies, statmuse ignored my question in the link.

this is an excellent point. Please remember the human brain does not fully develop until age 28. So many of these kids as shooters really do not understand the consequences of action they take. *I for one am glad he is charged as an adult. (Would prefer all shooters get literally HUNG) If that happens many kids I believe would think twice...
