Old man yelling at the clouds. The league just has more talent today then ever before and the league is smarter today then ever before.

Today's players are inferior at 2-point shot-making (basketball) and today's spacing makes them inferior pure/instinctual scorers and passers.. pure scoring is dead.. it's just robotic layups and threes

Today's passing is a joke - huge wide lanes and massive swathes of empty space - it's the mickey mouse game where the spacing makes everything easier

But I posted a video of them grabbing and holding Steph. So there’s clearly plenty of contact. I have hundreds of other examples too.

Today's three-point strategy gets everyone including Steph a lot of catch-and-shoot threes via kickout or perimeter ball movement.

The clip you posted shows defenders stretched out and unable to navigate a simple back-screen - Curry was wide open when he shot.

Otoh, defenders stuck to Reggie Miller like white on rice, and Miller didn't get a reprieve by getting open kickouts like Curry and others get via today's spacing strategy.

Curry attempts 10+ threes a game due to today's spacing strategy that churns out three-point attempts like a MACHINE.. it's a drill.. Before this strategy started, Curry only took 5 threes a game and averaged 19 ppg like Miller or Price
