Damn this was a great conversation. I think fans of today truly don’t realize how much the game has changed. The notion that guys don’t play defense today is just not true. They are handicapped lol no hand checking.. flagrant fouls today were normal fouls 20 years ago so the physicality is reduced dramatically on top of the fact that the game is more spread out than ever and EVERYONE can shoot.

[@loverofhumanity]

Yeah the last point is really the biggest difference. 20 yrs ago we hadnt figured out how to shoot yet. Literally every player used to have a different form. Trainers and athletes have all mastered the skill and technical aspects of shooting and kids are learning and developing that skill from 5 yrs old tbh. I see it even in mens leagues I play in. A lot of the younger guys arent as aggressive or drive in the paint as well as the old guys but they all can shoot extremely well. With the older crowd youll see a mixed bag of decent shooters to flat out awful shooters and practically no great shooters because they grew up in a different era where this wasnt really part of our game yet.

1:00:20 People forget about the Knicks 2012-13 season when they moved Melo to the 4 and had two point guards start Kidd & Felton

Great episode … loved the crossover of the two best sports podcasts. No ridiculous takes or outlandish claims, just knowledgeable guys talking about the game.

This Eddie guy has such chill vibes I dig it

[@claymorekwaramba6937]

I always mesmerize at how much details these guy recall from a random game in 2012 or 2014.

Great episode all around. I always say if you could 3D print/design the optimal scorer, you'd end up with KD every time.

KD height with Bron Size and athleticism

[@samn90834]

@@TK-kg6og that’s somewhat impossible tho, part of the reason Brons 3 point shot has never reached elite status is due to the muscle he has, with that much muscle it’s hard to have an elite jump shot with that much strength and muscle, you see it with Giannis too

[@Henry-kv7zl]

@@samn90834 muscle does not affect shooting, countless examples of totally jacked guys who can shoot. A bigger factor is that an Uber athlete doesn't need to shoot to score thus they get less reps in game, and practice shooting less.

[@samn90834]

@@Henry-kv7zl being muscular doesn’t make you a bad shooter, no, but putting on as much muscle as Giannis did will make him much stronger, and his normal release will no longer be perfect. Giannis has also had multiple years shooting 4-5 attempts per game from 3, that’s much more than many players who are knockdown shooters, that attempts in the game thing is waffle

The Amount Of Kd Fans In here Are Amazing And I’m Glad You guys respect savants 💯💯🏀
