@@samribz3320 i really don't. But I am certainly disappointed at some recent inductions. I guess I'm saying/implying had he played American collegiate ball & been a standout, that may propel him in. As a pro, he was a unsung, yet at times, brilliant role player, who was at least somewhat dominant in many key games. I think the Jokic comparison is superb. I mean there is absolutely NO way Bill Bradley & Ralph Sampson are in the Hall on their NBA careers.

Splitter, bellinelli and a couple other guys got in from time to time but the core 7 of Duncan Manu Parker Kawhi Green Diaw Mills Got the job done.

I'm very speechless when i see some beauties like the no-look behind the back pass or the in and out for danny green from the baseline. Also i guess he's very underrated and he became, during this season, a fundamental gear in spurs' offense. He's perfect for this unselfish system! He's my favourite palyer, my idol , no doubt.

@scalabrineplayoff3pt46curr77 жыл бұрын
the reason why rubio, cp3, and nash playstyle isn't as successful as spurs is because they rely on one man. The guy who does the passing and makes the play tends to over dribble. That leads to other team knowing what he's going to do and they double. Also, it takes unnecessary time off clock or out of other players' hands. Manu and diaw are catch and either score or pass. Notice how manu and diaw both are not the go to man in their team. They also make precise pass with good communication without taking a dribble. It helps the scrubs on their team play hot potato and lead to a pass leading to an assist. So spurs play 5 vs 1 against other team.
@williamjackson54216 жыл бұрын
+scalabrine playoff 3pt 46% curry playoff 3pt 40% eh that's oversimplification. they can do that because they have the players. at this time they had Tony, Manu, Diaw, Patty and Timmy. five playmakers. five above average passers. especially for some of their positions. after this incarnation came and went so did the play style because of the players skills were different. the one thing every PG lead team forget about Magic and Zeke is Nixon/Cooper/Dumars/Vinny. for the reasons you initially mentioned. most playmakers win.
