The old game is far superior than today's game

[@StevenC32]

The game has really changed from the 70s when I started following the NBA. I can remember when the NBA did not have the 3 point shot, and the only way you could score 3 points was to get fouled in the act of shooting after a made basket. Kareem was so dominant in the 70s, that is when Big Man were featured. But now the NBA is mostly a guard dominated league because the 3-point shot is such a part of the game now. Back in the 70s, you could handcheck guards which made it difficult for guards to score unless they were coming off of a screens, or if they were able to beat their man off the dribble. I think Steph Curry would have had a harder time scoring the way he does if he was constantly handchecked and the Refs allowed a little bit more physical play. Steph would still find a way to score, but it would be more of coming off of screens, rather than just bringing the ball down the court and shooting like he does now.

Finally, he and his teams won and won often. He was without a doubt, a winner who always brought his “A” game and as a great leader made those around him winners as well! I have not seen then or today anyone who could match his intensity and will every night. Not Wilt, not Kareem, not anyone! One other player who never gets mentioned when they talk about all time greats and that’s Connie Hawkins.

[@robotnik77]

If you shot more than three 3s back then, the coach would pull you cuz you didn't work for a higher percentage shot. Like Magic, Elgin Baylor could also play every position on the team well, though, as Center, he might be a bit height-challenged defensively - but he could rebound with the best b/c of position and timing. I don't think you could leave Elgin out of this conversation. I couldn't choose among the 4 of them. Elgin could create, shoot, pass, and score with the best of them - and he would be great today. Kareem Center, Elgin and Rudy at Forward, Magic at point, Kobe at SG, and Jerry West as 6th man, cuz he played both guard roles well. Most people think of Rudy as just a banger - but when he left Jerry and Elgin for SF, he proved that he could score a lot, too. Worthy with Jerry coming off the bench.

Add to that the serious HANDICAPS that have been made to playing serious DEFENSE in today's game, and there just aren't any traditional big men left - and haven't been MANY of them in the last 20 years (Tim Duncan was most of the entire LIST there, with Shaq early on in that period only, and arguably the Gasol brothers).

Math is the foundation for the Law of Averages. The closer you are to the hoop the higher your scoring average plus you get fouls on people. Probability then says that in the 4th quarter after Wilt, Jabbar, or Akeem have fouled out everyone and the game is close then their 3-point shooters could do some damage as well.

"I HATED BYRON SCOTT". Not HATE, THAT'S Too Strong of a Word(I Don't HATE Anyone)....But "I DIDN'T LIKE BYRON SCOTT"!!! I LIKE(D) NORM NIXON. HE WAS KOOL, HE WAS A SUPREME SHOOTER/SCORER, HE PLAYED W/THE GREAT KAREEM JABBAR, THE GREAT MAGIC JOHNSON, W/JAMAL"SILK(Y)" WILKES. HE WAS MARRIED TO THE GREAT DEBBIE ALLEN....AND I EVEN LIKED HIS MUSTACHE. So, WHEN THEY, THE L.A. LAKERS, "REPLACED" HIM W/BYRON SCOTT, I THOUGHT "WHY"!!?? WHY MESS UP A GOOD THING. I DIDN'T LIKE IT. BUT, WHEN I SAW HOW GOOD BYRON SCOTT WAS...."I GREW TO LIKE HIM" HE KNEW PEOPLE WOULD NOT LIKE HIM....BECAUSE OF THEIR LOVE FOR NORM NIXON. SO HE WENT ABOUT HIS BUSINESS, HIS BUSINESS OF DOING HIS JOB AS BEST HE COULD. HE SUCCEEDED. HE DIDN'T COMPLAIN. HE PLAYED THE GAME....@ A HIGH LEVEL....AND HE WON. HE WON CHAMPIONSHIP(S)....W/THE L.A. LAKERS. HE WON THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE. AND THE REST IS HISTORY....HIS(STORY).🏀🏆 BECAUSE OF HIS WORK ETHICS, "I NOW LOVE BYRON SCOTT".

Byron Scott would have went down as an above average guard if he didn't have Magic Johnson for all those years given him open jump shots and as far as the greatest player of all time is that's called an opinion how would he know he didn't even play against most of them.

There is no reason to pick Michael Jordan as the number 1 NBA player who has ever played in the NBA then .

The greatest Laker of all time is the Jerry West he only won one championship but look up the stats look what he did he lost all of them to Bill Russell

Who are the best shooters of all time?

[@jamaals4445]

I wouldnt say today is more athletic than back then today have the luxury of poor defense which gives the offensive play room to showcase athletism. Back then , i believe ppl were glued to each other hard nose D and the thought of jumping ,your thinking im i getting taking out in mid air .

are you aware of ELGIN BAYLOR and JERRY WEST ???

[@PoliticusRex632]

He literally said he was biased because he picked his teammates.

[@jimmybrice6360]

@@PoliticusRex632 i was referring to the interviewer. he says that the topic of greatest laker of all time was just up. and then the interviewer only mentions those 3 players, as if somehow those are the only ones to think about. personally, i think kareem is overrated. he was not the defensive person, or the person who controlled the game, like bill russell. or even like wilt. kareem was a great scoring threat. west and frazier were hot shots, who would take the final shot. but what most people dont know, unless you are old enough to have actually watched these guys, is that they were the 2 best defensive guards in the league. and elgin was a legend, right behind number 6. those 2 were the laker team, back then.

Wasn't Wilt Chamberlain a Laker?

[@jimmybrice6360]

@@temperedwell6295 only for a short while. i dont think anyone thinks of him in that way.

[@PoliticusRex632]

@@jimmybrice6360 it's called a lead in question. Reporters do it a lot. Usually when you're getting these questions one after another you go into "answer mode". The Interviewer gives you 3 names and your mind takes it as an A, B or C type question. You then answer one of those 3 and he prints it that when questioned YOU said that player.
