Better basketball players. Period. Better basketball instinct because they played in a more sophisticated format and weren't raised in today's PNR spam offense, open paint and wide open spacing that yield basic hoops instinct and IQ - today's game is simplified to 3-and-D and dunker spot - beginner-level terms so the media and fans can...

Damn, 2 minutes. You're becoming like Axe when it comes to me. Who, in the past, might have set up a 24/7 computer to detect whenever I mentioned his name to auto respond in exactly two minutes with a generic Axe reply. 1. I very rarely visit the main NBA forum and have only read one or two Neal Romer comments over there. 2. I started this...

He won't be out of a high paying job for long Bill Simmons will take care of him.

I would, but as the previous post shows, there's a lot of people lying out there about Jordan's career and trying to change the history and the narrative, even if it's just here on ISH... So it's my duty to basically fact-check... :confusedshrug:.. that's my role on this site

You're too stupid to realize he's Neal Romer. And you call yourself good at detecting alts :oldlol:

So you should stop arguing about it then.

Lebron has 11 losses before the Finals, compared to only 9 for MJ or Bird, and 3 for Magic.. So based on your own rules, Lebron is behind all three of these guys, which is congruent with my rankings - I guess it's a demonstration that my rankings can cover other people's logic as well - that's how great my rankings are.. My top 10 is based on...

You're right, I've won the debate pretty convincingly so it's just bullying at this point.. Thanks for opening my eyes

I wouldn't want to do it but right now what choice do they have? Really it would have to be protecting the basket by committee. A lot of just running in front of the basket and hoping to draw a charge.

There is less supply of housing than the demand. The sellers will raise their price $25k and sell to the first time buyers. The (potential) buyers moving from another area/state, upsizing (growing families) or downsizing (seniors) will be left with whatever available housing that has also been raised by $25k.

Hard to say. Even though he has GOAT longevity, it's still secondary as an "accomplishment" in my opinion compared to his peak/prime play. 2009-2020 he has the past per game stats, best advanced stats, best accolades, most winning as the best player (4 FMVPs). The whole package clearly puts him in his own tier as GOAT of the modern era.

NBA TV’s classic content is A1. Gotta love it.

Spacing is better but Randle isn't an elite shooter and he's definitely not a rim protector. Offense would be much smoother but man Randle as the rim protector just is a bad idea. He's small and not a shot blocker at all. You can run it for a few minutes but for a whole game? ehhhh

Ya that's a bad look and random as hell

Hakeem blocked someone I forgot then they went down the other way, and Karl Malone got stripped. They come back down the other way and there is nearly another shot clock violation, but Jordan got a shot off that Dan Majerle blocked. Two plays later Shaq gets his dunk blocked by Malone. Pippen just broke up another attempted full court pass and got...

Could not remember what year Karl Malone reminded everyone why they hate Karl Malone at the end of the game. Looked it up and that was 1991. I have nothing else to contribute. :lol

Terry Porter Just said “**** outta here son. Bringing that weak shit in here….” to Larry Johnson who he fouled trying to get a soft layup. Among the most 90s things I’ve heard in years. And Tim Hardaway just speared Isiah Thomas. They seem to have something personal going on.

Barkley put Shaq on his ass going up for a dunk and walked off ignoring him looking up for help. I don’t think there will be any more uncontested dunks inside.

Randle at center is an interesting experiment. Can a spacing advantage make up for not having a room protector? In paper they need to win games 120 to 115 but that doesn't sound like Thibs's style at all. I expect them to get a center from somewhere but right now there's no doubt that none of their best players is a big.

And as I typed that Shaq hit the trademark black tornado spin into a lob, and Isiah got it to him but Kemp and David Robinson both fouled him in the air to stop the dunk. Perhaps Shawn was ashamed he conceded the last one.

Shawn Kemp just made a business decision not contesting Shaq on a dunk. I was probably disgusted the first time I watched this but with my modern sensibilities I understand.

I switched to it for a minute and realize it hasn’t even started. Network love, nothing more than half an hour of filler. I don’t know why Amazon needs to do that when they don’t even have ads. Back to 1993 for me. Before the break, the fans were booing the west for bullshitting a little bit and missing a couple easy ones trying to be flashy...

Unreal. Knicks got all these guards, but couldn’t grab a center??

I'll watch Cowboys Giants. But only because I'm currently visiting family who pay for all these packages. I wont entertain such arrangements in my own home!

Dominique doubled on the catch by Sean Elliott and Danny Manning. Dumars gunning out here.

Looks about right

Malone out here throwing elbows on the rebound because Shaq bullied him out of the last one. Isiah finding Jordan on every cut even while the commentators talk about them not getting along. Isiah just found him for a little bullshit skyhook. Jordan just broke up his third fast break attempt. Someone threw a lob to Sean Elliott and Jordan...

We Talked about the change in the All-Star game and I know it isn’t worth a whole discussion but it is immediately noticeable that this is just a basketball game. Nothing going on the first few minutes looks like anything but a basketball game both teams want to win. Hard closeout. People fighting over screens. Stockton is trying to get it to...

I didnt say it did. I said the article was about NBA's partnership with a human rights abusing dictator regime in Rwanda. The fact the NBA wont pay its own American queens their fair share was a separate point.
