I don't even think today's players are that much more athletic than the 80s and 90s. Dominique Wilkins, Shawn Kemp, David Robinson are more athletic than most players today. These players were dunking with their chin above the rim. A lot of today's dunks are so ugly, even on the fast break they do standard dunks. Some of them can't even finish a dunk in traffic. Some of them can barely reach the rim. I don't see many of them as fast as Iverson. I don't see many of them as strong as Shaq and Malone.

MJ leaving if Phil leaves and Lebron meddling in the front office are two different scenarios. In the former scenario, MJ is honorably standing up for a coach who was told that he wasn't going to keep his job even if the Bulls were 82 and 0. In the latter, Lebron is making managerial decisions as a regular employee. I hope Lebron fanboys aren't that delusional to believe that these circumstances are similar.

[@momo.ru-kun]

JJ doesn't even respect the people who came before him. How in the world can he expect to lead and have players follow him is beyond me 😅

[@momo.ru-kun]

also about the shooting, comparing different eras can be unfair: players from the 90s excelled in post play and midrange shooting because that was the dominant style of the time, whereas players from the 2010s have focused more on three-pointers and pull-up shots, often lacking the same proficiency in post and midrange play. The style of play in any given era is heavily influenced by the prevailing rules of the game. The average midrange shooter in the 90s shoots at 45 to 47, which is already the best in this era. Then this era has better 3 point FG% because that is the dominant style of play. the more attempts, the more players become proficient.

[@dmark32]

@@momo.ru-kun 💯Stop making sense lol. They don't want to hear facts. It's evident to us but not to the casuals who post often. I watched Jordan in college, the Olympics, and his entire NBA career. From the 80s until now, the NBA had different rules (as you stated), influencing how the game was played and what players focused on. And if today's players, who focus more on three-point shooting, are so much better, why has every Jordan scoring record not been broken? You have outliers, of course, like Steph Curry, who reached the three-point record milestone faster than anyone who had the record before him, but that is because of the focus on three-point shooting in this era (plus he is really good at shooting).

[@imhereforitall9218]

[@momo.ru-kun]

Durant who is arguably the best midrange shooter in this era shoots 46% too with his best season at 50% however MJ makes 547 shots, 500+ a season, Kobe is the next with the most makes in his very best season in 2006 with only 414. The most proficient is Jerry Sichting who shoots a crazy 58% then Malone at 53%. I look at this things as a historian and a statistician, they played before I was even born. lol Im a Zennial. Just watching rebroadcasts I can clearly see the difference. Scottie Pip is a guy you dont even rely on midrange shots but he shoots at 45-46% which is already elite in this current game.

[@margarinetaintedgreen8140]

This LAL hire doesn’t impress me, but is not something I would say “is the reason why today’s NBA sucks.” Those reasons are, 1) bad officiating - rules in the rulebook, yet rarely enforced. I don’t like seeing traveling, palming, double-dribble, offensive fouls in the form of cheap initiation of contact for FTs, flopping, tedious overadjudication of physical contact. 2) boring play - I would like to see more creative & unpredictable offense instead of guys jogging 3PT-line to 3PT-line flinging up stupid-ass step back 3s, step-to-the-side 3s (I don’t think MPJ is capable of shooting a 3 without doing that dumb-ass step-to-the-left thing every time) or predictable drive-and-kick. 3) stupid play - It’s amazing how often a player will have a wide open shot within 5ft and kick out to the arc. What really irks me is a 3-on-1 fast break being, somehow, hard for teams to execute. You just hold the ball ‘till the last second and then pass to a teammate. Guaranteed layup/dunk. Somehow they bungle it routinely. The easiest 2 points possible, and they bungle it. Passing too soon, passing too late, one or both of the streaking teammates flare out to the arc instead of filling the lane for the guaranteed points, etc. I like intense competition. Everyone says, “people want to see scoring.” Not me; not if it makes for a boring game. If teams are having trouble scoring because they’re playing great defense, well…that’s good competition. If teams are scoring easily by doing cheap stuff offensively and playing weak defense…bad competition. I like seeing smart, well-executed offense seeking high% shots against good/smart defense.

[@MrSheduur]

yep, there really is a problem with the play of teams not looking very structured anymore. I saw a play this season where I think it was Boston, were on a 3 on 1 fastbreak, had an easy layup, but the guy who was basically through to the basket, decided to not make the layup and instead pass it out to one of the masterminds who put himself at the threepoint line, to let it fly from there. And of course, he missed it and the ball went out of bounds... Welcome to the new NBA. As much as I can understand the logic behind the statistics of 3 is worth more than two and how much you have to shoot from outside for the 3 to be more effective than shooting twos, but in NO WAY is a layup where you have zero resistance from the beaten opponent a less effective way to score than passing it up and give it to a 3pt shooter. This completely shows how messed up the thinking of the current generation of players and coaches is.

Objectively, LBJ has done nothing for the Lakers organization to warrant such influence and control over MGMT. He helped win a chip in the bubble and also the In Season Tourney lol To completely give the reigns to someone who has provided so little is comical.

[@MrSheduur]

They must really think we are all stupid...

[@SaiyanMotivation109]

When I think of a winning, successful, and legendary franchise the Lakers are up there. It's sad to see how low they have gone to please one player. They are lower than Cleveland was.

[@MasterRoshi8974]

Bird was physically beneficial, just watch the games

[@billylerch1776]

Jerry West would never approve of JJ as coach. Bad decision, really,really bad.

[@jordanjenkins1671]

JJ Reddick wasn't the first choice but after Dan Hurley declined the job he became the only choice LA had left. Maybe Sam Cassell didn't want that job either, I wouldn't either if I was him. I don't want to be the first scapegoat in the LAbron circus.

[@tedcalouri2694]

I would not concede that today's NBA players are more athletic. Sure Ja and Zion are crazy athletic but so were Kemp and Jordan and before them Wilt was pretty darn athletic too. That is no disrespect to the modern NBA player. I think every generation has there greats. But JJ clearly doesn't agree. How can anyone suggest Bird or Reggie Miller weren't great shooters because of their volume? What JJ needs to learn is that shooters like him got the opportunity to shoot because guys like Reggie and Larry proved the 3 point line was a strategic element of the game and not limited to an act of desperation when the shot clock is expiring. If they add a 4 point line to the NBA it will be BECAUSE of what players like Steph and Dame are doing today. Will JJ challenge their greatness and impact on the game because they only had 35-40 4 point shots a season?

[@big8dog887]

Sean David would be a better hire than JJ Redick.

[@danielh5583]

Obviously he made the league so he’s better than us scrubs but his level amongst those peers is the guy you tell to just stand in the corner and wait for a pass so he can shoot. Then try hide him on defense.

[@blackbrother4827]

LeBron always been a coach killer but he found out in Miami he wont running ish with the Godfather Pat Riley😀

[@donaplaon3945]

Jerry West will be livid right now from his grave! Lakers management just disrespects the NBA LOGO!

[@art.g2566]

JJ saying old school players were plumbers he got that from LeBron he says what ever LeBron wants him to say.

[@DaFactsNoNonsense1713]

facts

[@frostedflakes55]

Jerry West with the most respectful disrespect of all time 😂😂😂 absolutely destroying JJ ❤ ...JJ just straight not having real knowledge of how physical the game was in the 70s-90s is a joke...it was a CONTACT sport and now it's not it's tennis with dribbling and jumping 😂 Great Video 👍

[@The-Bladeslinger]

@5:12 I'm going to have to disagree that today's players are more athletic. Show me who is the current. Dominique Wilkins as far as athleticism or the current Karl Malone as far as strength.. ironically the current best player is Jokic with zero athleticism..

[@fullmetal1766]

I agree back then guys were ripped these days they have girlie arms

[@RickInMaryland]

It's not like JJ Redick took a job that a qualified coach wanted. Who would want to work for Jeanie Buss?

[@markdc31]

Phil Jackson had no problem working under her… I mean, he… Um. Well, you know.

[@Ingeborga_Dapkunaite]

Next year is the last for Inside The NBA. Lakers just decided to make it better lol))))))

[@Olee1980]

Great video. You said everything I was thinking when The Lakers hired Reddick. It would have been nice if Cassell was hired for The Lakers Head Coach position, but it would of just been Sam and LeBron just clashing with each other. Lakers Front Office just got some guy to parade as The Head Coach, so LeBron can make all of the coaching calls, whether he's on the floor or on the bench. Hopefully LeBron's coaching duties doesn't interfere with his General Manager duties.

[@alexmanne]

I always hate how JJ disrespected Bird and disrespected players from the 50s and 60s. But I love how he wasn't afraid call out Kendrick Perkins for being a xenophobic and dishonest race baiting clown.

[@Derpfriar]

Point 1 - Agree Point 2 - Disagree , Respect is not required to old eras , an opinion is an opinion they just need to respect the game not necessarily old players. Personally if i had those opinions I would just keep it to myself. Point 3 - Agree but its not the fault of Reddick hes riding a wave putting his name out there its the fault of the organisation , then Lebron.

[@markula_4040]

I don't live on social media but I haven't really heard anybody actually liking the JJ hire. That should tell you something. Let's hope he flames out so badly that no NBA team will ever consider again hiring a mid-tier (at best) player to be their head coach despite zero experience.

[@patanouketgersiflet9486]

His playing abilities are besides the point. Look at Phil Jackson's career as a player. Pat Riley's. Steve Kerr's. Role players. Gregg Poppovich has not played a single professional basketball game. Neither has Red Auerbach.

[@kaydevious]

Jordan making that statement about leaving if they didn't hire Jackson was totally different. That team was still untouchable and they were sabotaging it over ego and personal grudges when they had several years of dominance left. That's entirely different from Lebron just being a spoiled brat and demanding everyone else bow to him or take the fall for him.

[@verbzfromnyc3377]

JJ Redick turned a Bromance into a coaching gig.

[@johnwinston1499]

Awesome video mr. Basketball time machine. Really enjoyed this one, thank you for keeping it real and not afraid to call it how it is

[@calvinhodges2133]

I hope he keeps that same energy when coaching Lequeen smh.

[@sharonsimmons6427]

The Lakers are done. I grew up during the Bird vs. Magic rivalry. JJ is not Showtime. I’m a born and raised SoCal girl, that also happens to be a Larry Bird fan. I loved to hate him, when I was a kid, but you couldn’t help but want him on your team too. LOL! It was just so much fun to watch him play. Magic was brilliant. Bird was phenomenal. The passes and baskets he made, and the way the made them, were jaw-dropping. You CAN see it watching a KZbin game. That little boy just doesn’t want to admit that he’s no where near the greatness of the old school players. That’s the only explanation for being so blind to the tapes truths.

[@leechrec]

Lebron's true colors have surfaced the past number of years. Absolutely despicable.

[@Sldumas1983]

Like Kobe said Athleticism only gets you so far most of these guys can do all the flashy moves but the fundamentals of the game has been lost to a degree and that’s what the old school had the fundamentals of the game getting to your spots actually understanding the game and knowing when to let the game come to you.

[@patanouketgersiflet9486]

And one Larry Bird has shown what can be done with just above average athletic skills, basketball IQ off the charts, hard work, hustle. You can be Larry Legend, with no weakness in your game.

[@matrixrevolution2600]

Qualification doesn't mean anything this days!

[@donaplaon3945]

JJ Redidcks as a coach for Lakes is only for show. Lebron will be the coach of the Lakes and that's that!!

[@springfieldbearpatrol2937]

You never really know if someone can lead until they actually do it. In sink or swim - some can surprise you and swim like a champ. But... I agree with most - lots of great assistants out there ready for the next step. Also, Lakers have shown great impatience with players and coaches. I’ll give him until the all-star break when LeBron decides he’s not the guy.

[@markdc31]

Another great video, Bro. I agree with 99% of what you said, so you’re very spot on, in my humble opinion. First of all, JJ was a role player. He was a decent shooter and a defensive liability. He did play hard though, I’ll give him that. But when it comes to the NBA and even to former Duke players, he wasn’t great. And he couldn’t carry Hall of Famer Bob Cousy’s lunch. Second, his disrespect is widespread. I would think he would be a little more mature than to trash proven Hall of Fame players and proven winning coaches. He and Paul George both disrespected Doc Rivera who has won a championship and won Coach of the Year in Orlando with an injury riddled roster. But what have they done without him? I’ll wait. One thing I disagree with you is regarding Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson. The two of them had a proven track record. Anyone in their right mind would’ve bent over backwards to keep them together. But the owner/GM had already gotten their new arena and season ticket holders up the wazoo… They made an idiotic, egotistical move. And the franchise hasn’t really recovered. I’ll say one other thing. It’s possible JJ is trashing former Celtics legends to appease LeBron who dislikes the C’s. But JJ’s disrespect has gone beyond the Celtics. As a Celtics fan I look forward to the Lakers crashing and burning over the next few years. JJ will be fired. AD will shoot his way out of town. LeBron’s legacy will be further tarnished. Maybe Rob Pelinka will finally get his comeuppance. It will be so much fun to watch!!

[@CobblesteinSwobblepop]

I really hope their joint podcast is out weekly next season!!

[@Drewpost19]

The fact that Jordan said he wouldn’t come back if they got rid of, Phil is completely different also. He was doing it out of loyalty because they had just won three championship not because he was trying to be the GM.

[@rotgreen8102]

Hi Sean, you do great content. I watch the NBA since 1989 and I heard so many times this plumbers thing. I think in the 60's and 70's maybe the NBA didn't make any extra money but do the players worked in a normal job? Or why is this plumber shit? It would be great to see an episode or more that how did it look like to play in those years from players side. Thanks anyway. Great videos.

[@Doknot-tb9ey]

Thanks for the video! I hate how people like JJ disrespect players of the past.

[@JK2333459]

Exactly why i haven’t watch the Nb’s since 98

[@kuroro87s]

Cant wait for Bronny to be a starter for the Lakers.

[@brianrhodes1987]

And watch LeBron looking too the floor embarrassed as heck

[@guyincognito1423]

I lost any and all respect for JJ after his Ben Simmons interview.

[@TheTurnerBot]

What is the name of the song at 1:38?

[@Ministerj]

...spacing & a lack of defense is of utmost importance, these guys are not better on any level, at all!!!💯💯💯

[@satrialesporkstore7889]

At least the plumbers and firemen had real jobs, they were real men. I take them against a team of KZbinrs any day of the week. You know why today's games don't look as good as the old games? With all the players being more athletic than ever, more skilled than ever, more rules protecting them than ever, they don't have to TRY anymore. That's what it is. People watch sports for one thing: the EFFORT TO WIN! Whether you're Michael Jordan or the last guy on a high school team. If your goal is to win, the effort you show is the same. That's what competition is all about. MJ wasn't the most skilled player or the most physically dominant player in his days. But it's his desire and determination to win that attracted fans all around the world. That's something everyone, sports fan or not, can recgonize. Most of the players in the old days showed effort in how hard they were trying, regardless how flawed their skills were or whatever they were missing. They made up for it with their heart and strong will, and that's what made the competition fierce and the games look good. Today's players are loaded on skills and abilities, but a lot less heart and commitment.

[@ThommyOcho]

On accounts of “being athletic” I think the definition or perception has changed a bit. Now it just means fast and jump high. E.g Morant. That, combined with the artificial space the NBA has created led to the “dunks and 3 pointer” league. But these types of players are hurt or injured all the time and they need some rest every now and then. Probably to go shopping for their next pre game outfits

[@Ejohns1004]

Wanna know what I hate more than anything else in the world, more than spiders, more than the Celtics, more than the fact that people still dont understand the laughing scene in Final Fantasy 10 even though its almost been a quarter of a century? When the media, celebrities or politicians call me stupid to my face by insulting my intelligence. It infuriates me.

[@azrielnguyen9586]

As someone who used to love the NBA and really hates it now, I love everything that is going on with the Lakers. Sean can you please start putting up videos regarding the Big3 league? I'd love to follow that and since I mostly come here for my basketball stuff.
