That's why I don't watch anymore.. :(

Today's players lack fundamentals, which prevents them from fostering a championship brand of basketball - so they need extra talent to overcome their suboptimal styles..

With all the team-hopping, it's impossible to tell whose really good anymore.. I guess Kobe and Duncan are, since they won rings without team-hopping.

Lack of fundamentals:



- Durant's post game is horrific for a forward, so he couldn't dominate against the tightest defenses in OKC.

- Lebron can't shoot and posts up less often (http://stats.nba.com/league/player/#!/playtype/post-up/?sort=Time&dir=1) than Durant does (and his post game is a bully-ball, time-consuming, ball-stopping style.

It's common knowledge - virtually everyone says that today's players lack fundamentals - they have diluted "3-and-D" skillsets (see, there's even a term for it)

Examples of no fundamentals:


- Durant's post game is horrific for a forward, so he couldn't dominate the tightest defenses

- Lebron can't shoot and posts up less often (http://stats.nba.com/league/player/#!/playtype/post-up/?sort=Time&dir=1) than Durant does (and his post game is a no moves-bully-ball, time-consuming and ball-stopping style).
