Admiral isn’t in the same stratosphere as Jok and Embiid to be fair.Kat can’t check Jok or Embiid… but all of a sudden he can check David?

Huh? Rodman has been part of the top 50 and NBA 75 teams.

There was better talent on the block in his era. No one denies it. But it wasn’t a more talented era overall.
The 80s were about wings and bigs
90s bigs
2000s PFs
Modern day it’s mix of everything

… you made my point. And Pistons Dennis was equally as skilled as Dray. Game so far advanced but those types are still all stars

Well of course he would. He would hit Cousy with moves That Cousy's mind wouldn't even be able to comprehend. He SHOULD do that to Cousy since there is a damn near 75 year difference in birth years.

Forgive them, they don't know who hoops so none of that makes sense.

Brah…. Embiid hasn’t even played as a full season of basketball. He’s skilled for sure but also a hot mess to deal with.
Joker is great and a future HOF for sure
Admiral is a ten time all star, a past MVP, with two chips and two gold medals. He was part of the Dream Team for goodness sakes. Played the game with respect and makes joker and embiid look like teletubbies.

The game has advanced but there will always be an era of an all star role player utility guy. Rodman defended and finished plays. Different roles. But he wasn’t iniating offenses and operating as a point forward. That’s advancement.
If you don’t think the game has advanced it’s because you don’t want to believe it has.

Robinson played 2nd fiddle his first title and was a family man the second time. He isn’t better than Jokic. More muscles though.

Also he would be called for carrying and traveling if he played against Cousy as wellWell of course he would. He would hit Cousy with moves That Cousy's mind wouldn't even be able to comprehend. He SHOULD do that to Cousy since there is a damn near 75 year difference in birth years.

I believe the game was advancing up until about 2012. But you cant tell me what we are watching right now is an advancement from the 08-13 era of hoops.

Embiid literally has an MVP and runner up the 2 years before it.
Adnmiral wasn’t the guy for his first chip and was Udonis status for the 2nd.

David Robinson was on the DREAM TEAM and won the MVP in 1995. Being a smart man and a team player he made the move to step back and let Duncan be the man.
That is a big part of basketball. Making the decision to put the team first for wins and chips.

If it’s not complex then it should be easily solved and there shouldn’t be a problem.It ain’t complex. These dudes rather sit home and play videos games all day. Don’t go outside. They think they’re entitled to women. They either have no game or are afraid to approach the opposite sex.
A generation of men/boys who would rather scroll through pictures of women, instead of approaching without being weird. They have absolutely NO social skills. That’s a personal problem
That is a choice

Is it? I think he’s a great player. But there’s most certainly levels.
And he’s definitely not a better offensive player than Embiid, which was the argument.

Well it depends on which Era they would be placed in.
LaMelo born in 1928 wouldn't be spinning Bob Cousy around.
That is why those cross generation convos get wild.

Cool he was on the dream team but Jokic almost beat 3 of the best players ever last summer with his homies. Robinson stat padded to win MVP and Hakeem snatched his chain on Sunday in May. Lastly David Robinsons back made him a co star, not him. He was limited by then. Talmbout he was smart.
