Arm strength just isn’t nearly as important as people like to think it is. If he’s got the brains/understanding that his uncles+grandpa had, he will be good.
Not only was the defense tougher, guys could camp in the lane, & he had went against some of the all time greatest C’s in NBA history, where playing Center meant u guarded the paint, w/ an enforcer at PF to help.
Todays NBA w/ Euro rules, and no big men?? Blood would easily avg. 45-50 ppg & it’s not even up for debate.
Marino would avg. 5-6k yards/yr thrown & can’t no body tell me different.
Lmao
Keepin’ it honest MJ also missed **** near 2 full seasons in his prime. Playing a full 82 once is impressive, but 9 times with his style of play and the way the game was back then is absurd. I ain’t crazy about Mike as a person, he’s trash, but he’s without question the best to ever play and this is coming from a LeBron guy from Ohio.
Says Mike is trash as a person but is a Lebron fan… that’s funny to me.
I know what you are saying. But, he’s being ranked as essentially the #1 recruit ever. That is more than just being good.
this is a stylistic change. modern bigs are way more skilled than ever before and you see some of the old style bigs in todays game get run off the floor fairly easily (cough cough Rudy). also, guys are just so athletic now. I mean look at Bam who guards 1-5 and you wouldn't see that back in the day and is also handling the ball up the floor and initiating action from the top. there are a handful of bigs that could last in todays game imo but the D was def tougher on the perimeter. Jordan would get hacked and still get his and destroy the league. he'd still crush it today esp w the way its called now on the perimeter.
mike wasn't the greatest person (hes also pretty bad to his kids) and it would be worse if social media was around then. idk if Hebron is or isnt but he def knows how to hide it or keep it off social. the guys today for the most part know how to keep some of their stuff hidden. when Lebron was here, you'd always hear stories from dudes who worked in the hospitality industry but it obviously never made it public. wades **** up came out when he had the random kid
I agree that MJ would run it today. I said that. I just disagreed w the bigs part. ive also seen a ton of soft dudes back then too. for every Oakley, there was a ben Simmons lol. jimmy also has an old school type game too since he gets most of his points driving and operating in the mid range. Giannis is a freak but I do think he relies more on his athleticism bc of his shaky perimeter game. hes still a freak. I also hate MJ so **** him for ruining my heats shot in the 90s.
Thats why i laugh when they said GREAT teams on the gIANTS. tHEY WERE ALWAYS AT THE END OF NBARELY MAKING THE PLAYOFFS WHEN THE WON SUPERBOWLS AND pLAYOFF eLI ALWAYS BECAME A THING.
He wouldn’t win **** unless he joined the Warriors
