Which is more fun to watch?

[paksat]

I was just watching this magic johnson highlight video yesterday, and watching it made me wanna ask something..

Do you enjoy the basketball you see today on tv, or do you think you would enjoy this more?

Wow.. real basketball with guys having to make acrobatic 2-pointers (skill), rather than today's 3-point contest

Night and day

[Manny98]

The days where 95% of the league struggled to shoot beyond 15ft

The good ol days

[3ball]

The days where 95% of the league struggled to shoot beyond 15ft

The good ol days
The diversity of the play and shot-making was so far superior

And the passing was far superior because the lack of spacing required it

And the diversity of the passing was vastly superior than today's boring drive-and-kick

[superduper]

Bro actually sit there and watch the first 5 minutes of the Magic vid. NOBODY in the league is coming remotely close to that level of skill with the way he's passing that ball. That is just ****ing ridiculous. I thought Jokic was good.

Anything looks good in a highlight reel.

Today's highlights are mostly open threes and layups on a ridiculously spaced-out court where defenders don't have a chance

That doesn't look good except to new fans that think it's basketball

[90sgoat]

Wow Magic is on some other level, never saw those passes. Then you realize Bird could make the same passes and was a 50/40/90 shooter.

Those Kings teams are right up there with the best of all time.

Look at the Kings highlight above, it's literally nothing but open 3's and easy layup/dunks.

it's the 2000 sac kings...

they didn't live and die by the 3 so you can stop right there with that as well.

here's your "rookie of the year" according to most people with endless "skills" carrying his ass off on almost every single dribble at the end of this vid. He's not the only one carrying like crazy either..

The 2000 Kings led the league in three point attempt. They actually have a lot of similarity to today's game.

[B]Great observations 3-ball. I wish you where this intelligent when you talk about Jordan

you are right, not saying you're wrong that they have SIMILARITIES

but they still played inside out with divac and webber, they're more similar to the nuggets than someone that just constantly jacks 3's like the rockets

[The Iron Fist]

Certainly not the nightly 3 point contest.
