D. Wilkins not impressed by LeBron's 61

Post by Jims_Doors »

Dominique Wilkins ‏@DWilkins21 6h
Watch the film. No close outs on D, doubles were late, rotations were slow. It was too easy to score. At 54 y/o I could drop 40 on that D

Sad actually. There is no reason for any of these guys to knock something like that...on any player. It only comes off as the bitter old guy...or the back in my day guy.

Even when he played Wilkins was always in the 2nd tier of superstars. These days people hardly ever mention him. As a result he's not happy about seeing young players do well, it only pushes him further into the background.

I agree

Whenever his name gets brought up, he's more remembered for his participation in the dunk competitions than his actual play on the court.

Do you think my assessment of his opinion, my opinion of his opinion, was off base?

I trust the insight of someone who's actually played the game over a bunch of jackoffs at ESPN who get paid to hype up every stellar performance in prisoner of the moment fashion for the sake of TV ratings and website clicks.

Maybe if a team played the bobcats every night he would be.

Talking about the D is one thing, but to give a subtle jab by sarcastically implying that at age 54 he could have walked on the floor last night and dropped 40 is extremely absurd.

Wow...These old timers are getting more and more pathetic with every soundbyte that has to do with Lebron. Kareem's a little buttsore, and now Wilkins joining the club of disgruntled 'has beens' all in just one week's worth of work. I respect the legends of the game, but shit like this is making it harder and harder as they continually view the modern game and it's stars through the myopic lens of yesteryear.

Breh, it's been happening for years, just wasn't always social media to make them exposed like this. However, LeBron did get sonned, because that defense last night was pathetic at best.

Talk about a reach. Where did I say that, or imply it in any way?

Anybody who puts up 50+ points is doing it against weak defenses..even Jordan...it may be against a top defensive team but their defense wasnt on point that particular night...im sure Wilkens put up big numbers against some weak ass defenses

Kareem was right. LeBron was talking out of his ass on the Rushmore thing. Nique just comes off like an old bitter idiot. Big difference.
