Just how POWERFUL was the fabled Handcheck?
Old-timers around here talking like defenders had giant impenetrable forcefields. The legendary Handcheck was too POWERFUL they had to get rid of it.
3ball/Don, could I get some POWERFUL gifs of the heralded El' Handcheck?

Do me a favor buddy. Actually pick up a basketball and play the game. Only a guy who has never played the game would ask such a dumb question.

Its pretty ****ing OP. You can basically use your forearm to redirect and slow down a driving player. Its pretty nuts when a strong dude does it to a lightweight.

[B]I believe it was in 1978-79 when they removed "real" hand-checking... One could still do it as long as it didn't impede the opponent

If you tried it you wouldn't be in doubt, it is much more difficult to get past your man and requires much greater accelerations and change of direction. Also tires you out real quick and keep in mind these NBA players are strong mofos.

According to Bron fans, he's the fastest player ever, the most powerful force in sports. Simply unstoppable on the open floor once he gets going.
Yet oldBe stopped him.
Bron perhaps in his prime with a full steam couldn't steam roll and blow by oldBe.
THAT is what hand check does.
