Westbrick can't shoot in an NBA that shoots an eFG% of almost .500. Can you imagine what he would be shooting in leagues that shot .400?

Might not even shoot .300.

Any rumors of amazing feats have been told and retold over the years. Several involve someone riding a horse into the bar and ordering a beer for themselves and one for the horse. One says someone rode a buffalo through the bar. But the most told involves Gus Johnson and his nail. Gun played for the Vandals in the 1962-63 season. He averaged 19 points and 20.3 rebounds. He was drafted in the second round of the NBA draft by the Baltimore Bullets and was runner up for rookie of the year.

When Johnson played at Idaho in 1963, he already had a reputation as a leaper of the highest order. One evening at the Corner Club, a local tavern on Main Street in Moscow, Johnson was requested by owner Herm Goetz to display his rare ability to the patrons. The Corner Club was a very modest establishment, converted from a white-stuccoed small chapel in the 1940s with hardwood floors and a beamed ceiling. From a standing start near the bar, Johnson touched a spot on a beam 11'6" (3.505 m) above the floor. This spot was ceremoniously marked with a nail by Goetz, who then proudly proclaimed that anyone who could duplicate the feat could drink for free. A 40-inch (1.016 m) diameter circle was painted on the floor, and both feet had to start inside the circle to ensure a standing start. A full 23 years went by with many attempts at Gus Johnson's Nail, including Bill Walton in the summer of 1984, but there were no successes.

That was until 1986, when the College of Southern Idaho basketball team from Twin Falls stopped in town in January on their way to a game against NIC in Coeur d'Alene. Joey Johnson, a younger brother of then NBA star Dennis Johnson, was brought into the Corner Club for a try. The 6'3" (1.905 m) guard had a 48" (1.219 m) vertical leap and could put his chin on a basketball rim (10 feet (3.048 m)) with a running start.

Johnson laced up his shoes and touched the nail on his first try but was disqualified because he did not start with both feet inside the 40-inch circle. The next attempt came from a legal static start but was just a bit short. On his third try, Johnson grabbed and bent the legendary nail, a landmark event in Vandal sports history. Goetz pulled the nail out of the beam and pounded it back in, a half inch (13 mm) higher.

Well, if they are going to troll, at least pick someone that can legitimately shoot a basketball, and not one of the worst shooters of the modern era.

What do you mean? They wouldn't let him play and he would probably have been publicly flogged because of his sexuality.

No Westbrook would be howling in pain if he played against these guys because arthroscopic surgery wasn't invented yet.

This guy would be dribbling with just his right hand, stop and turn direction and Westbrook's meniscus would tear even further. Every now and then Westbrook would throw down a thunderous dunk, but after it he wouldn't be able to stand up again and would be out for a week or two.

Also that top pic is a guy who never made the pros, the equivalent of Westbrook would be this guy who is an exact contemporary of that guy.

Criticizing the old era for not having the advantages of the new era -- modern training, every NBA game on TV, fleets of better coaches, equipment, etc, etc -- is like pretending your more technologically savy than the NASA scientists who put man on the moon because you have a smartphone and they used this

Just a couple of betas from the old era. One of which played college just out of the 50s. Silly inferior humans, look how cute they look TRYING to play ball. I'd literally shit on both of them with my hook shot.
