I only disagree with him feeling his ppg totals would shoot up 6-8 points. Maybe 4-5. But he was spot on with everything else
Re: Penny Hardaway talks handchecking & Kobe Bryant vs Michael Jordan
Well penny lying. You know why because Gilbert arenas is superior. I mean look at his statsin 06 he clearly a superior player. :facepalm I really don't show people who actually play any kind of basketball that having someone ride u to the basket doesn't affect you. You can't touch people know and people chuck more 3s. How could a 6'4 Wade dominate but Mj can't with these tick tac fouls.

It definitely makes it harder, and for a much better game, if you're playing against someone that hand checks. It forces me to play harder and to become more creative as to how I'm going to score. So I always say, it there was hand checking today, players like Kobe would technically be better than their versions today, even if they score a couple of points less.

But the handchecking era didn't end when kobe was playing. Kobe played in an era that allowed for zone defense(and therefore harder doubles~more effective team defense to contain any given player) AND they could still impede a player's progress to the rim with handchecking. This era was from the late 90s to 04.. the era kobe made his name in and was a key cog for three championship teams. Kobe has already proven he could dominate even with handcheking in place.. check his 30/7/6 '01 playoff statline.

Well, GOAT played for us... it's not our fault. :oldlol:
Re: Penny Hardaway talks handchecking & Kobe Bryant vs Michael Jordan
I do think Jordan of course is was a better overall player then Kobe...but the whole hand checking argument kind of takes itself out. Jordan also benefited from hand checking when he was on defense. But with or without that rule Jordan and Kobe would still dominant in any era.
