[@tyleredwards970]

No he’s saying they didn’t have the skill compared to modern players. There were guys in the league that didn’t have a job and they weren’t all legends. The argument wasn’t that Jerry’s era was great it was that mad dog tried saying bob cousey was better than cp3

[@Rqs79]

@@tyleredwards970 , that's silly. It's like saying Isaac Newton wasn't as intelligent and accomplished as a scientist as Stephen Hawking because he grew up in the 18th century without 21st century scientific knowledge and technology. You can't compare eras. The 1950s and the 2020s NBA are two different styles of basketball play. Put JJ in the 1950s having to live in that society along with having to adapt and play like 1950s players combined with making less money without modern sports medicine: He would not be as good as Bob Cousy because Cousy had more athletic ability. Bob Cousy was the first great point guard in the NBA. Dude was the prototype and he excelled in his time.

How is it perfect when it is easily dismantled? He trying to say just cause JJ didn’t have a job like the plumbers he was talking about that he should’ve been Jerry west, but that doesn’t make any sense cause JJ made the comment to point out that the level of competition was nowhere near what it is today in the modern NBA. So, JJ could have been a real star in that time, but he couldn’t in the modern NBA because the talent is just miles better, much more elite than back then. Role players nowadays could’ve been near stars if not actual stars back then, that is how big the jump is from talent from then to now. But please, go on and keep being an ignorant follower who believes anything as long as it fits your personal agenda 😂

If you ever look at old clips of the Harlem Globetrotters, you will see players with Kyrie-like ball handling skills. JJ was being disrespectful and talking out the side of the neck. JJ was a role player at his best in the league while players like Bob Cousy within the era he played and what technology was available excelled at the highest level. Imagine how better Cousy would have been if he had the resources of JJ Reddick and lived in the an era with modern sports medicine and technology? That's why Bob Cousy called him out when he said it's always the players with less talent who have the most to say. ie: Look at the caliber of players on some of these podcasts who trash the legends of the past. None of them are HOF players or were even great players when they were active.

Steve Kerr, Pat Riley and, Phil Jackson are players/ champions turned head coach. Steve Nash is a player that never saw championship success just like JJ. It will be another Nets situation where superstars that has a ring is going to say get this mf up outta here. Being a sports media influencer and working on a sports media network is scripted to a degree where they know the topics being discussed. The NBA playoffs and Finals is whole different situation because it’s real time with dealing with player’s attitudes, injuries and motives. Paul IG model comment is accurate the superstars today have the infinity glove power to snap a finger and in a blink of an eye the coach and multiple players are fired for what ever reason. Giannis and Lebron has been Thanos on multiple occasions in their career with the infinity gauntlet.
