Do you think football players are better today than in the 90s?

I'm with the other guy, I see huuuuuuuge jumps in skill and athleticism from modern NBA players. Not just the shooting. But yeah, when 1-5 are threats to sink a three, and some are dangerous from several feet beyond three, it changes how you have to play defense big time as well. There are some similarities to whats happened in football, where every part of the field now can be attacked. (by the way, really appreciate all that you provide on here for football, thanks!)

Def not skill. Some of these guys in the nba legit can’t do a left hand layup. They’re just so athletic they finish all sorts of wild shots

I wouldn’t even say they are better 3 point shooters. They shoot it more often. Imagine Reggie playing on GS, with that scheme. Dudes like Bird could stroke it from outside but hated the 3 pt line. They were more complete players back then.

If Reggie Miller, Glen Rice, Allan Houston, Mitch Richmond & Eddie Jones played in today’s NBA they would’ve averaged 28+ points a game.

Reggie Miller was 3rd All-Time in 3 pointers made & he only averaged 4.7 3-point attempts for his career, at his peak he was shooting 6.6 3’s a game, if he played in this new NBA with these current rules he would’ve shot easily 12-14 3’s a game.

exactly lol..

Here's 19 year old Kobe dropping 33 on Jordan AND Pippen ( both guarded him this game) off the bench.




The amount of dead roster weight and one dimensional players available back then was astonishing. The league would have had zero answers for monsters like Lebron, KD, Curry, etc etc.

I wouldn't say 33 on Jordan. Jordan was icing his knees in the mid 4th quarter because it was a blood bath. He scored close to 40 and was chilling when Kobe was at 21 points.
 
its amazing how this thread just keeps on moving like legarrette blount.

He is getting a Saints interview, so... might be the "best" job although he will have to rebuild there too

Yeah I think you worry he doesn’t have a QB and if I remember, comically far over the salary cap
