I love the new deep dice presentation Rusty. Good job. I come to your videos all the time but I had to unsub both channels cause you always ignore Miami. So we had to destroy your Bulls tonight AGAIN. But I still like your videos cause you do a great job.

Wilt couldve had a better career if he had a consistently good system. Philly's system made wilt less productive but more team oriented. If that system had continued, wilt would have 3-5 chips instead of 2.

He definitely should have won 69 and 70 on the lakers

[@RLSmith-jt8qj]

[@tj5180]

Wilt was a choker in the playoffs and several coaches even teammates have said he was a stat paddler and that was his main focus. I'm sure if it wasn't for that. He would have had a goat case. Alex was a great coach for Philly and changed wilt when they won the title in 1967

[@chrisshepard8273]

I like this video idea a lot. Especially when understanding system with the player. Another example is MJ you knew he was great before the triangle, but the triangle helped make him a champion.

[@EdwardElfigo]

Exactly, just like curry he was already an All-star and an All-NBA team player but needed that something extra to start winning silverware

[@heylolp9]

"System Player" in mind is a compliment because you actually need to reach a peak to be labeled one this system needs to be so dominant with you at the helm that it is a sign of personal dominance if the team is built around you which as in most ways work from the time they benefit from great coaching combined with the actual pure skill

[@Loqque]

Pop always openly said that his whole success happened because Duncan was an anchor of the team.

[@shorewall]

If you're a coach with a top talent, and are able to win some championships, that makes your career, because then you are seen as a winning coach. And people listen to what you have to say, and give you respect, which is what a coach needs. If no one listens to or respects the coach, it doesn't matter how good he is.

[@russellpo7758]

I feel like the idea of “system players” comes from football as schematics affect the effectiveness of the players way more than in basketball. For example, Tom Brady was labeled a system player for a long time as the Patriots offense was still very good even when players like Matt Cassell, who hadn’t started a football game since high school, were playing, which made it seem like Brady was only good because of the system he was in.

[@kyvsthewrld]

System player arguments be so annoying I remember people were on tom brady for that and look at him now😭

[@nicmagtaan1132]

@@kyvsthewrld tom brady is the best guy for the system he is in, or whatever it is but mostly i find the arguments about his team's defense winning stuff

[@voiceofreason2674]

That’s a good point I sometimes listen to people use the term “system player” and they know what they’re talking about but theyre using the term like you would for football

[@tnikoli40]

Joe montana and steve young are the perfect example of a system player

[@Okkotsu86275]

Looking real sharp and fresh Rusty my boy. I like it

[@PassivesAbseits]

I'd argue, that "Phenomenal Player Development" is the Spurs System. It is really insane, how much value they got out of low draft picks. Like almost every pick outperformed expectations. I mean, they drafted George Hill with the 26th Pick, formed him into a "We might give up a 15th Pick" player in 3 years and then drafted a future Finals MVP with that pick. In hindsight, trading Hill for Leonard should be one of the worst all-time trades. But that hindsight only works, because the Spurs were that good at developing players...

[@shorewall]

Yeah, Kawhi was drafted as a defense guy, who might develop a 3pt shot and be a 3 and D guy. Instead he became MJ lite, before injuries. A lot of that is on him, but you could believe him developing that way on the Spurs. What if Kawhi was drafted by the Sacramento Kings? Yeeesh...

[@rickymagwho6262]

Been a fan since you were sub-30k subs. It's crazy seeing how far you've grown and how much better your videos have become. Proud of you 👑

[@rasaecnai]

Rusty is wearing a suit. Shits about to go down! Let't go! The way i see it, talents commands the system, because why would a coach make a system that does not help put their talent in the most winning-est position?

[@Conquistador76]

Coming back to this one, glad you got over 200k subs!!!

[@nochi396]

Loved the video. The ending quote is spot on. Keep it up Rusty!

[@taustin4948]

This topic exposes a lot of coaches. How many coaches can you say run a system that takes full advantage of their top talent? I feel like the majority don't. The evidence being that there are so few teams that have an easily identifiable system at all. This was especially obvious to me when the warriors were taking off. Other teams just started shooting more and more from farther out without the talent to do so. There seems to be very little creativity among nba coaches when their top player's skillet isn't the same as the top 3-5 players in the league.

[@arcangel879]

The current bulls is a great example of adjusting their system on their current roster. It gave demar more wings without clipping lavine's. It surprised me ngl.

[@aaronghunter]

Well, consider this. The adoption of effective systems is somewhat limited by lack of continuity in many organizations, and it tends to take time to identify a system from the outside. We know D'Antoni deploys systems because his initial system was named years ago, and because he has run identified systems since. However, none of his systems have led to a championship and he has run at least four - the seven seconds or less suns, the harden-heliocentric version, the binary star harden-paul tandem, and the harden-westbrook alternating-heliocentric. Each of these systems were great to an extent, the last two were brought down by injuries primarily. This year we have a lot of teams that crawled out of the dark, including the Bulls, the Cavaliers, the Wizards and potentially the Timberwolves. Each of these teams has a new identity, a new play style, but do they have systems? I think the Cavaliers do, same with the Bulls, but we haven't really named them yet.

[@shorewall]

It's tough to coach at all in the NBA. How are you gonna demand things of your players? Remember Melo saying he didn't want to play in the Triangle? He also didn't want to play D'antoni ball. Nah, what he wanted was to jab step until the shot clock wound down, and then take a tough shot. :D Look at Curry, look at Nash, look at Duncan. All are humble, hard working, coachable stars. When your best player is coachable, it sets the tone. For most teams, the players just wanna ball out. Most players want a coach that ain't gonna tell them shit, just hype them up and let them ball out. Leadership comes from the top down, and that means owners. Good teams have good owners, and good owners get good coaches and GMs, who get good players. When everything is in alignment, dynasties happen.

I like the editing of TD and KG while narrating the comparison of the players within the system especially since im a KG fan. Subtle

I think its a fact that every Mike D'Antoni player becomes a system player. He elevated Jeremy Lin, Raymond Felton, Earl Clark, and Kendall Marshall from bench warmers to starters, Steve Nash and James Harden from allstars to MVPs.

[@aaronghunter]

I appreciate this deep dive a great deal, in part because it dovetails with my own opinion, but also because it was concise and clear. It would be interesting to see further expansion on the topic, covering how systems develop with examples of system and talent mismatch (Quinn Buckner + Triangle, Mavericks Triple J Ranch), the adjustment process in practice (D'Antoni), and systemic decay (Dame's Blazers?) and/or successful non-system teams.

Nice Video! I feel like this is also happening with Jokic this season to an extent. Obviously, on defense atm, the Nuggets play a PnR defensive scheme that allows Jokic to hedge and recover, as opposed to the prior drop coverage which suited Jokic to a lesser extent. This is why a lot of people are discrediting his defensive improvements and MVP candidacy, in addition to the voter fatigue which is likely to also occur.
