I'm a Pistons fan, so obviously I'm going to listen when Rasheed talks a little bit more than most people. But having said that, I REALLY like this podcast a lot. It's not just "hot takes" for the sake of clicks, they actually breakdown their opinions very well. I gained a ton of respect for Bonzie from the podcast as well.

[@1almfmighty]

In Jordan’s era, There was no carrying Or moving/picking up of the pivot foot like Luka does every single possession. There was no taking 3-4 steps for a layup, or picking up the ball just to take 2 steps back THEN shooting a 3. The fundamental rules of the game were strictly enforced. Back in the day it took actual skill to create space to shoot. Nowadays it’s easier than EVER to make it to the league bc it’s a free for all, anything goes. Every games final score is 100+points on both sides bc no REAL defense is being played. Heck Ive even seen the score keepers shaving points nowadays. Back in the day the nba was REAL, now it seems like the wwe and it’s frustrating to watch. Worst thing to happen to the league was the legalization of sports betting, now we know for a fact every game is manipulated in some form or fashion. Smdh. We went from watching shaq literally shatter backboards, to now 7 footers making weak lay ups then flexing & screaming as if they did something 🤣🤦🏾‍♂️

[@jamessanders6788]

Correct, However MJbis a bad example; he was the only person back then that was allowed to carry and travel, and then got soft fouls always called mid-career because the NBA hitched their $$$ and viewership on him.

[@1almfmighty]

@@jamessanders6788 It was in reference to the title of the video bro, meaning the era Jordan played… but you are correct mj would catch the ball, take a step or 2 THEN dribble… but it’s air Jordan tho 🤷🏾‍♂️ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He was up all night drinking and gambling, pull up to the game in a ferrari smoking a cigar.

So that’s the problem they don’t iso like that. Everything is pick and roll. Nobody can score in an isolation unless it’s against the slower defender. These guys are not more skilled I don’t care what anybody says and I don’t wanna hear that. I’m an old head either I’m a younger guy. People simply just don’t watch basketball like that. I’m a junkie. I watch it all day long. It’s all I study. I’m a pro myself. People are delusional if they think today’s guys are better. The only thing that they are better at is they’re just more three-point shooters and today’s game than there was back then. But today’s guys can’t even hit a shot from the free-throw line or a Bank shot for goodness sake and there is zero footwork let alone any ability to beat a guy off the dribble without a screen Unless he’s slow and tall, like Rudy Gobert or an inferior defender. then were just special.

The Olympics proved how our players did against rules allowed the defense to guard a lot more physically. They struggled at times. That being said I think USA did get called differently too. They called fouls many times when they were just playing with the physicality and a lot of no calls when they would get hammered. It did show that our players were not used to that physical defense although I think this years playoffs were the most physical I've seen in many years. Will this be what we can expect this year and going forward? I hope so, because I think the NBA was too focused on offense for too many years. Last year was a return to strong physical defenses. Sadly I think that what helped Minnesota beat Denver, I love Denver but them having a short bench really hurt them this past year. They were too wore down by Minnesota s physical defense. I was hoping they would make more moves in the off-season. I can't see Denver winning a championship again until they upgrade their bench or these young players develop a lot quicker. Jokic is my favorite player so I hope they figure it out. MPJ needs to finally step up into his potential. He could be an all-star or potentially all NBA if he played upto his potential.

A shooting guard like Allan Houston would tear him apart and I'd laugh my ass off...

[@patrickpitamber]

So wilt Chamberlain Kareem bird magic Barkley Iverson. No talent or skill

[@bilogskii2216]

The truth is today's players are more skilled than 90's players and that is a fact. BUT more skilled player doesn't necessarily mean better player. If I'm gonna make up an nba team, I would pick Giannis over Embid any day of the week even though Embid is more skilled than Giannis.

People got to understand (and remember) kids will say dumb things. Kids will say a lot of dumb things. Everybody said and did dumb things in their early 20s. Give kids some slack and don't take them so seriously (until they win something).

[@JayMade_]

Crazy how a young kid hasn’t won, almost like Jordan before he cried for a superteam

[@quentonrudison1625]

This generation of ballers may have skill but lack fundamentals. That part is never discussed. Fundamentals are lacking seriously.

[@johnnythekid4601]

yeah but to the tatted brothas with dreads who comment here fundamentals are bullshit and boring as hell and for bad white players

[@derrickbenson3329]

That sectional is cold blooded

[@XerxezsX]

I knew it, Magic had no skills he was a 6'9" point guard way too tall😮

[@Tyrannosaurus_STFU_III]

Gary Payton was 6'4"... Ants weak D is from lack of ❤️ not from lack of height.

[@cycleoflife565]

He admitted that he hasn’t watched any footage from that era so how can he have an opinion on something that he has no knowledge of? He talking out of his arse.

[@nanmanledamtong7282]

They are just jumping...... apart from the step back 3, what move was developed in this era?.....who has a signature move in this era?.......Dreamshake, skyhook, smithy, fadeaway jumper,......just to mention a few......🙄

[@RaiderRSupastar]

Sad 😂 If there was players like Air Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic, Reggie Miller, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing, this punk wouldn't be making those insane 💵 dollars today.

[@marlinlaifoo3111]

And what exactly has he done in the NBA again

[@mscottlawrence2037]

I really liked Edwards too

[@grahamchan6327]

You cannot mention magic Johnson without Larry the legend goatus saurus rex...😅

[@MarkoRabin]

What ant calls skills was called travelling in the 80s n 90s

[@casyatbat]

Crazy?? Sounds more like craving attention, like Dennis Rodman. Is that worse than what JJ Redick said about Larry Bird? And still made Redick head coach of the Lakers, clearly cannot judge the ability of players. One must always consider the source.

[@gajemouje]

What Ant calls skillz was before carry and travel
