c'mon... Brony stans, really?

So... isolation was only something that happened during MJ's era?

Isolation is something that is non-existent today, because there's this 'zone' defense that makes it impossible for people to drive.

The title of the first vid is 'James Harden Isolation plays 2013-2014'.

I mean, f*ck a gif when we have an entire video.

And ma lawd, the paint is emptier than Oliver Miller's fridge.

This slow unathletic dude is dropping all these points on today's game, yet Allah won't destroy today's teams?

MJ vs the same defensive setup:

You literally just made this thread 3 days ago, with a very similar title too. No one who didn't click on that thread or reply is going to be any more interested in this one.

Yeah, too lazy to look it up. Mods can join it if they want too.

Point still stands tho.

And Im highly bored.

3ball won't make the same thread multiple times. He'll inject his thread into other ones which is so much funnier. A thread about a Wiggins post move had at least 2 or 3 Jordan posting up gifs (and one of LeBron thanks to Dubeta or something:oldlol: ). Any thread about LeBron, Kobe, dunking, anything, you're going to get the inevtiable 3ball gif series, like he has folders of them ready at any time.

The Illegal Defense rules enabled teams to put 4 guys behind the 3-point line and clear it out for an isolation


You mean like this:


http://gifsforum.com/images_new/gif/other/grand/461e88f60959be68fcee36b801f0b808.gif


In previous eras, teams had ZERO players behind the 3-point line because teams didn't shoot 3-pointers - in 1985, teams averaged two attempts per game, compared to 22 per game today.

So the setup above is characteristic of TODAY'S game, not previous eras - you never saw the above setup in previous eras.

Coaches were actually quite dumb in previous eras - not only did they not space the floor, but their approach of positioning offensive players inside the 3-point line and closer to the rim activated the legal paint-camping provision stipulated in Rule 2b (http://nbahoopsonline.com/History/Leagues/NBA/Rules/Fouls.html) of the Illegal Defense Guidelines - this rule allowed defenders to paint-camp with no time restriction if their man was in the paint already, or within 3 feet of either side.

I know you're known for your .GIFS but I've seen many, many video footage of similar isolation scenarios for Bron without even trying to look for it.

It is essentially 'Lebron ball 101'

Did you seriously re-edit what I said?

Regardless it is correct, and it occurs today only if a team has adequate shooting ability from all positions on the court, which not many teams do. Miami was an exception due to playing Bosh at the center position

During the Illegal Defense era any team could run a clear out 1 on 1 play at any time, the rules gave them free reign to do so and had the defenses hands tied behind their backs.

LeStiffarm. Much talent. Very skill.

Just imagine him having free reign to use the stiff arm to full potential if he played in the 80's/90's
