Irrefutable evidence/proof why the 90's were better and tougher than today's weak, sissy NBA

[Robceltsfan]

You mean they were only 1.4% better than this???

Yikes...

[thedangerouskitchen]

He was ROUNDING UP you guys!!!!

Precisely... as we ALL do on this board.

73.7 = 74%
73.8% = 74%
73.3% = 73%

Your desperation is not a good look, rob.

What did you do with the 72.8% from 98-99? Round up to 100%?

Jordan wasn't playing in 98-99...

Regardless, that 0.1/2% gained from rounding up doesn't change the fact that the FT% difference between the 90's / today is trivial and largely irrelevant, and does nothing to prove the false claim that players today are (allegedly) so much more skilled and talented.

Soft and weak Defense of today by virtue of rules that heavily favor the Offense (as confirmed by the league/coaches/players) merely gives the "illusion" that players's today are so much better. because it's so much easier to Score.

Fact.

TDK, didn't you go to DePaul?

Did you take like...any (college-level) math class at all?

[Robceltsfan]

1-2 extra points per game is trivial, y'all! You heard it here first from TDK!!!

Spacing is also created by rules changes, not philosophical changes! TDK again!!!

[Bush4Ever.]

The difference between chimp and human DNA is about four percent, for the record.

[thedangerouskitchen]

Once again the BWGC thinks they know more than the League / Players / Coaches themselves, who confirm that today's rules heavily favor the Offense... and even with that damning testimony from the experts, the BWGC thinks that doesN't make it easier for today's Offense/Scoring.

[LeBronMonsterDunk]

What rule change allowed players to shoot Free Throws at a better %?

So 1.3 = 2 now, eh rob?

I'd call you a hypocrite (and a liar because 1.3 doesn't = 2 even by rounding up) but you've got bigger issues if you think you're smarter about today's NBA than the NBA itself.

Yeah....because you can't score 1.3 points in a game. So some games it's 1 extra point....and some games it's 2.

Pretty simple math, even for a moron like you.

Another one

[Robceltsfan]

TDK struggling with basic math.....while rounding 72.8% up to 100%!!!!

[Robceltsfan]

Here's another great video to watch. Great game from MJ....but just count all the touch fouls (leading to free throws) and all the completely wide open jumpers the Cavs allow. Watch how defenders sluff off MJ when he's behind the arc.

ThE NinETiEs wERe BeTteR!!!!

phpBB [video]

[LeBronMonsterDunk]

90s defenders gave Prime MJ the 'Washed up Russell Westbrick' treatment when he was behind the 3 pt line lol

Not good!

[Da Stars.]

Everything is better. Shooting, shooting from distance, ball movement, defensive rotations, obviously ball handling. You name the facet, and the game has gotten better. When I watch replays of 80s and 90s games now, I'm amazed I found it as enjoyable as it I did at the time. It just pales in comparison to the current product.

If anything. Post play. Maybe.

[thedangerouskitchen]

The BWGC now talking about 3-point shooting in the 90's, when it wasn't a part of the game.



Their desperation has reached new levels ever since the Commissioner, VP of Ops, and several (current) players/coaches exposed today's NBA for being soft and weak.

[Robceltsfan]

No rebuttal of the video….just deflection.

Check mate.

[thedangerouskitchen]

Check mate.

Arbitrary video clips of one (1) game don't define an entire era/decade AND it most certainly doesn't refute what the current NBA Commissioner, current VP of Ops and several current players/coaches said about today's NBA/Defense being soft and weak.

I noticed that you (among others) repeatedly avoid addressing their words.

Wonder why?
