The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!

Check out Manta Sleep at tinyurl.com/ycee6c3s and make sure to use code JONNYARNETT for 10% off your order! How would MJ do in the NBA today?? Also, is there any era we should be “done with”? Wanted to elaborate with some thoughts that were not included in the video. When former players say “we tried to force Jordan left” because he was “weaker” with his left hand, that’s just smart basketball that applies to everyone. Every player has some “weakness”, relative to the rest of their game. Guys like Shaq and LeBron James are not great free throw shooters, so people would try to make them “earn” their points at the free throw line, rather than get an easy dunk. Shane Battier used to talk about how he’d “give Kobe space” to shoot long 2 pointers, because it was the lowest percentage shot, and it seemed better than him hitting a 3 or getting to the rim. That doesn’t mean the guys SUCK at it, or can’t do it, but it seems ideal compared to the alternative. Don’t let Shaq get too deep, don’t let LeBron get to the rim, don’t let Kobe get to his spots, and don’t let Jordan go to his right… it’s just simple Basketball, people.

[@PitBullSamiTut]

You gotta cover the LeBiogenesis story. You’re alternative media. The assholes on TV ain’t gonna talk about it.

[@ThoseRedPillGuys]

That's the point. You can do it for both. That is the point of this becoming a trend. It's to show the hypocrisy in what oldheads say about today's basketball and especially towards LeBron James(conversation involving gen z revolves around LeBron vs. MJ and how good is wemby). They say xyz about a player today based on his weaknesses and then say he wouldn't have been able to handle the 90s. Like, "LeBron couldn't handle the 90s because he sucks at freet throws, and the 90s was an inside the perimeter more physical game. MJ would never air ball free throws. " Queue the MJ would never vs. LeBron would never jokes. You misunderstand the trend and are taking it too seriously and proving the point at hand. Everything you described is exactly what those under 30 have been telling old heads. "I saw MJ in my day. He's my GOAT(sure) and would average 45 today, " "Basketball today is garbage. The 90s was better. My day was better. " Also, in modern basketball, "having a left is hand" is TYPICALLY referred to in regards to dribbling not finishing. We don't say Westbrook or LeBron has no left hand because they don't really dunk with their left. It's not like he was trash with his left but it wasn't something he was that proficient with. That's naturally for right handed players.

[@onlyfacts3178]

i have watch basketball for 5 decades. To me the best were: 1-90s 2-00s 3-80s 4-20s 5-10s the worst ERA.. I dont say that 50s was the worse ever because rules were so hard and players didnt have the equipment and the facilities that players have now...traveling 8 hours by bus to play a game than go back to another city with CONVERSE shoes and without doctors is amazing. 70s was a CAOS but since i didnt see it i dont talk about it...because it was indeed a caos and hard to talk without context...

[@mirrorportal1587]

Jordan would average at least 45 against these tiktokers and scrubs. He was already the best player of the toughest era. Nowadays there is no defense, correlates to higher scoring which we're seeing right now. If Jokic and Doncic are destroying the league like this, then the GOAT could do whatever he wanted to an even bigger extent than what he's already accomplished.

[@Coopercrack]

@@ThoseRedPillGuys One of the most BS comments I've seen. Not only you first point was (like always when debunk something) that it was "ironic" or a social experiment but in the end you give creidt to the main topic so is contradictory. The thing wasn't ironic since there were people that put graphics and count dribbles and stuff, so... And that NBA today has weak defense is not hyperbolic. THat's why Luke in Europe was a solid 16ppp and in the NBA he is averagin a 35ppp triple double. That's why players that started in the late 00's and some of them had injuries are scoring MORE than in their primes. That's why in international competition Team USA did really bad. I know young people wants to be part of greatness, and that's good. But the thing is that you have to be realistic with the product today and no need to diminish something to flash yours. Myself. A 00's guy admit without a doubt that the average player today shoots way better than the average player in the past. As well, I see that the fundamentals in the past were way better. Ad I also thing most of the superstars could have do really good in any era. But this topic is horrendous. And in the 00`s i don't remember anybody saying players of the past were bad players or plumbers. P.S. Jordan could drive left perfectly fine 😂

they are drastically better though, while offense has evolved imensley defense just kinda remained on the same level, and with more complete players nowadays then ever in terms of offensive ability, defense is way harder to play thats why it looks weaker. Jokic and Embiid the probably 2 best players right now can give you a basket from anywhere on the court, big men like shaq, hakeem, wilt, etc where never asked to do that, the spaceing is sooo much better nowadays than it used to be just rewatch 90s footage and look at how often players are left open on the 3pt line or slightley further out.

5:44 They passed the ball to referee??? I think that play needed to be the last one in the compilation with the music and all... 🤣😂😂

At least they could dribble without carrying and drive without travelling, at least they could actually follow the fundamental rules of the game, didn't complain every single possession and so on...

[@jonnyarnett]

I think thats a league office issue though. If the refs are gonna let you travel, you telling me you're NOT gonna take advantage of that when there's millions and a championship on the line?! lol

Great vid Jonny. Great music to go with the clips too.

I recognize the last one from a Chucago Bulls mixtape the NBA put out after the 72-10 season. It used to be on ESPN a lot. An awesome highlight reel.

I know for fact Jordan went left because my college coach HoF, NBA coach-recruiter from that time with the Nets told me one of things that made Jordan so tough was his ability to explode left 2-4 dribbles, he also said that he was more explosive going left, and watching the game. Jordan is probably the only player that I can think of that had no weaknesses and was fundamentally sound. I don’t count three point shooting because that wasn’t the style of play back then so it’s is irrelevant. Today’s players are skilled in terms of shooting the 3, maybe a fancier handle, but situational recognition, fundamentals, and shot selection not so much. Just my opinion.

That clip of Luka very slowly bringing up the ball and taking a shot is so hilarious. I'm imagining the defender was thinking "there's no was he's taking a shot while going up this slowly.... Oh no...."

I can debunk "done with 90s" logic with one word, OVERLAP. Kobe drafted 96 and last all star year was 16. Tim Duncan won a championship in the 90s and last all star year was 2015. Shaq last all star year was 09. I can keep going - Nash, Iverson, Rasheed, JKidd, McGrady, Ray Allen, etc... all overlapped with most of TODAY'S players.

[@AfricanH3ro]

Shaq was drafted in 92 and didn't win a wing until Jordan and his contemporaries were on the decline or retired lol

[@nathanlawson313]

@@AfricanH3ro No one asked when he first won a ring. What point are you even trying to make? He sucked? Shaq avg 23/14 as a rookie, beat Jordan in 95 playoffs, 3-peated and was STILL an All star 14 years later in 2009.

[@AfricanH3ro]

@@nathanlawson313 I was agreeing with you lmao. Done with the 90s folks will still call Shaq the most dominant player of all time ignoring that he played most of his prime in the 90s against Jordan and his peers but didn’t win a ring until after they were all on the decline, which speaks to the quality of 90s competition

[@t24moore]

​@@AfricanH3roI think Shaq lack of success stemmed more from illegal defense and teams being able to stack the paint in the 90s along with iso heavy ball.

​@@jonnyarnett I'm not biased at all, my problem with the 90s Era of basketball is that it's overhyped by people stuck in a bygone Era. I can guarantee you majority of the people in this comment section haven't sat down and actually watched a full game from that Era, old heads try too hard to compare today's nba to past decades without the acknowledgment and acceptance that the game has changed.

[@ItsMeStrider]

@@IllMatic97 we know the game has changed, they facilitated scoring via rule changing and not enforcing certain ones that still exist. That's by Adam Silver's own admission. You're gonna debate the comissioner too?

[@Thomas-fl5zi]

I believe the reason for the lack of defense in todays game is mostly due to players not wanting to get injured before the playoffs and also not wanting to get dunked on. If you look the ppg in the finals, its been about the same for quite a while

If guards in the 90s were allowed to take 4 steps and carry the ball like they can today, everyone’s handles would look a lot better

[@onlyfacts3178]

and if ever pass was counted as an assist like now every PG would average 10 assists...STOCKTON was criticiez because K,MALONE drive sometimes and they said that wasnt a real assist... HE WOULD average 20 assists in this ERA..players like RODMAN would average 25 rebounds if they played in this ERA without contested rebounds and 30 bricks from 3 point line.
