Every damn time someone starts talking about their gen's player and how he should be in the top 10 and a comparison to MJ is made, they freeze like a deer in the headlights, all shook at the stats that are laid out in front of them.
"But.. but... but... it's not fair to compare them to MJ. He is GOAT!"
Then wtf are you talking like your player is the next GOAT? What did you think was going to happen? Stop being so salty just because your a generation Z and missed Jordan play live. Be thankful that games are recorded and that you can still witness his greatness after the fact.
The irony of it all is that the kid is lacing up his Jordan's right after he logs off ISH.

I don't have any argument for it. Is it OK if I try to insult you.
No it's not. Run along now.

I wasn't being serious. I just thought of it this morning and was eager to use it.
I agree with your point

Today's player benefits from weakside floor-spreaders that take defenders away from the strongside.
In the picture above, Joakim Noah has to leave Mosgov and flood to the strongside, otherwise the strongside won't even have 3 defenders on it.. But this is just a simple example - using weakside spacing to take defenders away from the strongside is beginning-level strategy used by every team in today's game.
Otoh, teams barely took any 3-pointers at all in previous eras, and therefore didn't have weakside floor-spacing, so offensive players frequently faced all 5 defenders (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11128077&postcount=21) on the strongside of the court, and therefore a tougher defensive environment.. Today's players never face a strongside with all 5 defenders on it, because teams ENSURE this doesn't happen with weakside floor-spacing.
