So he wouldn't be as good against the packed paints of previous eras (no teammates spacing the floor), where great shooting was required to shoot over defenses/packed paints, like the gifs below:

Btw, this is the same reason Lebron wouldn't be nearly as good on previous eras (no teamnates spacing the floor to benefit his penetration/ball-domination

We've seen Giannis get locked up when teams actually go at him. He's a little over rated offensively imo

this explains everything about how Charles Barkley averaged nearly double amount of rebounds to Jordan is listed at the same height

highwey would probably agree to this.

great shooting was required to shoot over defenses/packed paint


90's paint was packed because nobody could shoot outside 15 feet, no need to check scrubs with no J

Hence why Stern created illegal defense, a rule to enforce spacing and be within arm distance from your man even if they had no ability to shoot (ie: every F + C in the 90's)

Lack of basketball fundamentals caused numerous girl scout rule changes . Same can be applied for the shortened 3pt line

Giannis is a more explosive Hakeem with better handles and quickness

Stop posting those lies - you don't reslize how dumb you sound

When an offensive player was behind the 3-point line, defenders could sag off to the edge of the paint just like today's game. This is standard man-to-man defense

There's never been a form of basketball where defenders are forced to stand next to their man.. unless you want to include today's defensive 3 seconds rule

Bump to prove this bitch is a flip flopping hypocrite.
