[@the_Sage71]

Jonny have considered doing a segment on the great Red Aerobach? He had so much positive impact on the league. Beyond the Celtics even. The way he utilized the 6th man. Getting tossed from games to fire his squad up. Being the first to put 5 black players on the floor in Boston. He saw the greatness in Russell's defense and how it could trigger a Dynasty using fast break basketball. Red is the Patron Saint of the NBA. He even gave Kermit Washington a chance when he was a pariah. Bill Walton as well. The more you look at Red the more of a giant he was. Who was the first to hire a black coach in any major team sport ?

[@Xenon-h9z]

Why do you use an AI to narrate all your vids? Don't lie.

[@actionjackson8689]

You know what part you got wrong? Bill Russel was 6'9 and if you look at the other box scores during that era, the guys Wilt played against, that got the most minutes at center, were around 6'6-6'9. So get your facts straight.

[@actionjackson8689]

Oh and this era is just as weak as Wilts era. No defense.

It’s not even just about the under-appreciated legends either, I think a basketball fan should reasonable be able to enjoy watching anybody who is great at basketball. I mean it’s not fun when they got off vs your favorite team but the rest of the time I think it’s just fun to watch mfs like Jokic or curry hoop.

The fact I can fall asleep to it just tells me how comfortable I am with his voice. To me it means I like him. Back in the 90's I use to put VHS tapes of Sonics games in my VHS player just to hear Kevin Calabro's voice calling the game. I could always fall asleep easily to his voice an not because he bored me but rather that he comforted me.

This is all covered in the book "Kareem" pages 140-141.

~ Glad a reputable source showed Jack Sikma, and Laimbeer as stretch bigs. I’ve been a long time fan of the game, since a kid in the 70’s. Also, coming from a Basketball city, where hoops was in your “blood”… I have always loved the game and guys that could shoot. I can remember Sikma won a championship with Sonics and a was a vital member of the 80’s Bucks coached by Don Nelson. Looking back, Isiah and Bill on the high screen and rolls and Sikma spotting up in the corners and on the wings. They were precursors to the modern game. I remember how unique it was because other bigs didn’t play like them. Couldn’t shoot the 3!

I saw most of the 90's greats live in Seattle which had Kemp & Payton. The one that impressed me the most in person was Hakeem, it was striking to see a 7 foot tall player move the way he did. It was like he was 6 foot tall, he was so quick it didn't seem possible a person that big should be able to move like that. But I saw it with my own eyes multiple times. I only saw Shaq once during his third year. He was awesome obviously but Hakeem made me go "wow". I love these long videos for multiple reasons, one is they help me fall asleep at night.

I kinda disagree with your take on Moses Malone. Some of my points: - All-NBA Third Team wasn’t a thing until 1988. Shaq had 4 of them. - Moses faced more HoF and All-NBA centers than Shaq throughout his career. Heck, you have Jamal Magloire, Big Z, and Brad Miller as all-star centers in Shaq’s time. That’s how bad that era was for centers in general. - 3 MVPs are 3 MVPs, and I value MVPs more than FMVPs. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mind if you put Shaq over Moses, but explaining it like Mad Dog had a bad take is outrageous to me.

[@Redpepper917]

Check the timestamps in the pinned comment. There is ALWAYS something new, and I make sure to put it in ALL CAPS for viewers like you, who just want to watch the new section and bounce. It’s the part about Bobby Jones.

Wilt played a lot like LeBron. Just as fast, good shooting, passing, driving, IQ, but he was 5 inches taller. A player like that would dominate any era (given a good team)

How the hell do you know how wilt played

rasheed wallace doesn’t get talked about enough. he was easily the 3rd best power forward behind kg and duncan during his era and was one of the best stretch bigs in the league. he’d be incredible in todays nba. move him to center and you’ve got a perennial all star

I wonder what Kobe's card would be worth if he was still alive...

Basketball and football are like videogames, my dad was a coach and I learned all those old school rules, Im 65 now and I destroy at those sports games because I know fundamentals.

Studies have already shown if the 3 pt line existed during Pistol Pete’s years in college at LSU, he would’ve averaged 54 ppg. He took a lot of shots from that range simply because he could

Bro. These kids now have been playing the modern game internationally and waaaay more frequently since they were children. So its not even a discussion. Things are different. Theyre all absolute legends of their eras.

When Wilt met Shaq, all he saw was BBQ chicken.

[@SoftGuy]

Shaq is just that dude. Shaq is the only player that can put his team in the double bonus free throws. Teams had to use 3-4 guys a game just to guard Shaq. The dude is just that dominate. Also Shaq was the reason why the NBA allow zone defense.

Tracy was in the same Lane Kobe had Shaq Tracy He was like IceMan to Dr J Like Tracy to Kobe

[@robert-h2x]

moses was shaq before shaq.. im a 90s baby. shaq was allowed to elbow and shove everybody .. the fact that a young tim duncan can go toe to toe with la shaq. moses 3 x mvp. stop overrating shaq. thats why he was quoted as the most dominant. not the best center. being top 5 is actually accurate

[@TrekRidley]

You are too serious about this.. SAS's just making a point about the dominance of Wilt against talents far less than him.. This KZbin post, though very informative and well researched, IS RATHER DEFENSIVE 😊
