[QUOTE=DonDadda59]Skip Bayless gets paid BIG BUCKS too. What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying Henry Abbott, a stand up comedian from Portland, Oregon who has probably never picked up a basketball or coached in any capacity is more knowledgeable about the game and nuances of the rule changes than a championship winning coach who created the rules and an ATG with 5 rings who played in both eras?

That's some old lion shit. Old school players were great at doing little things the refs couldn't see. I'm sure Jelly Bean and Chubby Cox taught him that move. Players in the handchecking era saw much worse than that on a nightly basis. But even if you think that was a foul, look at the full court pressure. Look at how clumsy and pedestrian the ghost of Bean made a prime Bron look by just placing a forearm on his hip.
Like Beans pointed out, a guy like LeBron is lucky he gets to play in an era where he can hide his lack of skill. If hand-checking were still allowed, his poor ball handling would not fly. He'd be forced to play more off-ball and let a real PG handle the ball. LeBron having no off-ball skills to speak of. :(

:lol
You still never tackled my points from earlier.
If the point of the illegal D rules, the most important rule change in NBA History (:lol) was to increase scoring, then why did PPG go from 109 to as low as 91 PPG during its tenure? If the point was to curb zone... then why was the NBA trying to stop 'out right zones' for the 'umpteenth time' in 1989?
If the rules were so impactful and important, why did the architect of the rules deem them ineffective and the NBA abolish them eventually?
Why did scoring, pace, and shooting percentages INCREASE for the first time ever post merger only after the rule changes of the 00s?
Any time you're ready.
