Love J-Crossover but dude literally has NO defensive highlights whatsoever.
Ginobili has a 6+ minute defensive highlight reel alone.
Jamal was to athletic to be such a terrible defender

NFL fans get context.. like DBs and LBs were able to take dudes heads off over the middle or on deep passes
But a guy like Reggie white would be a whole other level in the league today because you’d use him at basically any spot along the line.. or a guy like rod woodson is the perfect DB prospect for today’s league with his size and speed and versatility (people forget he was the safety on the 2000 ravens)
But also gotta think what WRs from back in the day would have been like in the current rules and also with the bigger emphasis on the passing game
But it’s the same thing with jordan and not having hand checking.. but it seems certain folks are overly invested in removing logic

OG's that bring up lack of hand checking now but downplay illegal defense are insane to me. Cant have it both ways

In the past, 4,000 and 5,000 passing yard seasons were rare as hell in the NFL. It’s a common occurrence now
You’ve got mediocre QBs throwing for 4,000. Jameis Winston had a 5,000 yard passing season
Just like the NBA, modern day NFL is geared towards offense.
That’s why you can’t compare eras. BUT, certain players transcend eras. That’s all we be trying to say.
Deion, Jordan, Wilt, Magic, LeBron, etc they are TRANSCENDENT talents, they could play in any era.
We aren’t talking about dudes like Mark Madsen or Dahntay Jones
I always tell people, NFL passing numbers have gone up tremendously… but interception numbers have gone down. That right there tells you how much rules have changed.
QBs were throwing 20,30 and 40+ interceptions back in the day

I love me some Ant but we have:
Jaylen Brown who can’t go left (just like Clyde Drexler),
Ben Simmons literally can’t shoot… Gobert is a giraffe on ice…
PJ Tucker
Giannis’ brother
Tons of modern players with absolutely no skills
- Brown is All-NBA & Finals MVP
- Simmons was All-NBA & All-Defense before the injuries
- Gobert is All-Defense & 4x DPOY
- Tucker is going on his 14th NBA season; career 36% 3PT shooter with above average defense
Got nothing for Thanasis

The Wizards are cursed, they need another name change and total re brand
Luckily the universe kept em in DC instead of that stupid VA move else that woulda definitely been the final nail in their coffin

You made my point. All these guys have skillsets that are on-par with guys from the Jordan era. Late 70s, 80s, 90s…
Ant just trying to stir up stuff
Gobert would be a bench player in that era. He’s not highly skilled. Ben Simmons’ skills were always vastly overrated.
PJ Tucker had to go overseas for 5+ years after he left U of Texas.
Jaylen is the most supreme talent out the bunch and he still has deficiencies

Ant is right and yall know it.
Name the best players from Jordans era. Jordan was a modern player in a dinosaur league. Put MJ in today's NBA he's Demar Derozan.

Ant gonna Ant, but he keeps adding to the list of stuff people are going to throw back at him when the Patootie privilege has worn off some and he still hasn’t been past the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Gobert woulda been fine in the 80’s - early 00’s …Look up some of the dudes that started and got contracts back then like Adonal Foyle, Dampier and Ostertag

and telling a defensive 7 footer they don't have to defend in space and on the perimeter as much would probably be net positive is my guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Gobert woulda been fine in the 80’s - early 00’s …Look up some of the dudes that started and got contracts back then like Adonal Foyle, Dampier and Ostertag

Gobert & Mutumbo are very similar. People also act like Mutumbo wasn’t DPOY, and got cooked by Shaq. But Gobert gets clowned for Jokic and Luka dogging him in the playoffs
Now the Olympic stuff was craaaaazyyyyy…but let’s not do that right na

He’s getting paid so he’ll show up for a bit, get hurt/mental breakdown and shut it down to collect the check
