ITT list players who played in the wrong era

[RRR3]

Boban Marjanovic is the guy I think of first. Dude would have been a good starter before the small ball explosion.

DeMar DeRozan. Can you imagine if he came in to the league 20 years prior?

No need to imagine...he did in another body

Mahmoud Abdul Rauf. He would be a hero now as well as a valuable player on any team.

What do you think he’d average?

[HBK_Kliq_2]

-Marc Gasol seems like he would fit perfectly in the 1999-2004 defensive grind era.
-Kawhi resembles Jordan the most to me so by default he fits in the 1990s
-Chris Paul conservative style fits perfectly to replace Stockton in Jerry Sloan's system

He did similar things to Kaepernick right? That gets you banned in today's world from what he proved lol

I don't think it wouldn't get you blacklisted in the NBA. For one, Silver is a liberal and it would be exceedingly hypocritical of him to effectively ban a player for standing up to injustice in America. Of course, it was very hypocritical of Silver (and LeBron) to handle the China issue the way they did. However, the NBA is clearly concerned with preserving good relationship with China for economic reasons. A player protesting police brutality would do very little to Silver and the owner's pocketbooks. Because it would cost him and his cronies little to nothing, Silver would only lose out (by looking like a hypocrite) if he were to blackball a player protesting a la Kaepernick.

He and the NBA came to a compromise where he wouldn't have to face the flag. Now it's in everyone's contracts iirc.

Mark Price
10-15 years later and he's a MVP

Antoine Walker

Top 10 player in this era

Adrian Dantley
Top 5 PLayer in the mid 00s

[r0drig0lac]

all the perimeter players who played basketball before 2015, the current game would be easier for all of them

OP was born too early.

One day a Golden Age will come for those with Down Syndrome, and his people will thrive. But who knows if he’ll live to see it.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Abdul Rauf

Gunner in the 90s but a tough shot maker. Think it was Shaq who said Mahmoud was the best pure shooter he saw.

Anyway, he'd flourish in today's game. Wouldn't have been blackballed by the league either.

Players like Dale Ellis and Glen Rice would eat like kings too.

Admiral is literally built to play in todays NBA

His game is so tailor made for the run the floor, fast paced style that we see today

He could even shoot 3s. He went 10-29 (34.5%) on 3s in 1994. He’d be def be shooting at least 3 3s a game now.

Lamar Odom, he would be a bread and butter all-star player in todays positionless league, he wasn't "great" at one thing but he could do almost everything very good. Passing, Scoring, Rebounding, Defense, Handles, Range, Size, Speed. Odom was above average in all


His role as 6th man on the Lakers behind Pau/Bynum and Phil's system paralyzed his ceiling

Lamar was basically Giannis with a jumper

Still can't believe we missed the playoffs in 05 with him, Butler and Kobe

:facepalm

This is permaban worthy. Giannis with a jumper :roll:

It's actually spot on

24yo Lamar: 17, 10, 4 while being 3rd option behind Brand/Magette big 3

Made team USA, Olympian

And was literally traded straight up for Shaquille O'neal

Odom was a top 5 rising NBA prospect in 03-04

Reduced to 12, 8, 2 role player by 2009, but high IQ 6moty voters still took notice rightfully awarding his career sacrifice by 2011

Unfortunately by then it was too late and Lamar already started to progress depression and cocaine addiction

[RRR3]

24 year old Giannis: 28/13/6, MVP

[LAmbruh]

24 year old Giannis: 28/13/6, MVP

If ISH has taught me anything it's that stats from 15-25 years ago equate to double in todays era. Also Giannis = Weak East, not my guidlines btw :confusedshrug:

We may never know Odom's true potential, that's the point

[Lion's pride]

Tacko Fall.. In the 80s he may have went first or at least lottery in the draft..
