Proof that you can't believe ex-players or Wiki

[I][b]Another one of Price's distinguishing traits on the court was his pioneering of the splitting of the double team. As former teammate Steve Kerr explains,[/b] “Mark really revolutionized the way that people attack the screen and roll. To me, he was the first guy in the NBA who really split the screen and roll. A lot of teams started blitzing the pick and roll and jumping two guys at it to take the ball out of the hands of the point guard. He’d duck right between them and shoot that little runner in the lane. [B]Nobody was doing that at that time.[/B] You watch an NBA game now and almost everybody does that. Mark was a pioneer in that regard."

pure poppycock, revisionist history - this is the kind of thing that guys say to the media in the moment, but it isn't true at all... they are just saying it because the reporter asked a certain question and kerr's a good, friendly guy, so he tells the reporter what he wants to hear and the conversation continues on a friendly note..

but in reality, jordan was splitting double teams as a rookie, better than price ever could... here he is using a higher level of [url=http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=360900][u]navigation efficiency[/u][/url] than anyone ever has (taking the most steps with the least dribbles) - how many guys take ZERO dribbles after the crossover to split the double, and they are at the rim dunking on someone?... how about no one... and jordan did this as a standard.

it was standard for jordan to split the double with a crossover, and then get to the rim [i][B]with no more dribbles[/B][/i] - this is GOAT [url=http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=360900][u]navigation efficiency[/u][/url] that no one in history has duplicated and it represents a GOAT combination of skill and athleticism.

Good point OP.

It's why most people don't believe these stupid former players that say the game was better back in the day. We all know it is better now.

I think splitting doubles is something Price did regularly hence the confusion. To say he "created" it is obviously a stretch and classic hyperbole.

Nice gifs, by the way.

OP literally makes this forum less fun

OP the type of dude that takes the ball with him when he gets mad so no one else can play :oldlol:

3 nice. And don't forget the only counterargument you have to ex-players and wiki is this one cherrypicked statement

OP looks for excuses to post about Jordan

my point is that not only are kerr and wiki dead wrong, but the GIF above is how guys do it today - they take a ton of extra dribbles and have the worst [url=http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=360900][u]navigation efficiency[/u][/url].

klay takes TWO extra dribbles after the double-team-splitting crossover, and he sneaks in an extra dribble before the crossover too - this demonstrates an inferior level of both skill and athleticism... this is a ditto for all of today's players... :confusedshrug:

taking my ball and going home now.. :( .. :D

True about Price, but unfortunately MJ was not the first one to do it either....

[QUOTE=Kvnzhangyay]3 nice. And don't forget the only counterargument you have to ex-players and wiki is this one cherrypicked statement[/QUOTE]

that's 3 more than you can show from ANY player today using that level of [url=http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=360900][u]navigation efficiency[/u][/url] (getting to the rim with no dribbles after the crossover).

but jordan did it all the time - it's nothing to find more:
