The Official NBA Season Thread: D'Lo to Nets, DFS to Lakers | HBD LeBron

Lamelo Ball is better than every guard from the 90's not named Michael Jordan.

Let's talk about it. Bigs from the 90's who made AS games would be unplayable in today's NBA.

Does Kobe count at 90’s? Lamelo better than Penny?

 

[JMB10215]

y’all boys have been caught

 

[addict4sneakers]

Ironic, none of these guys are American.

Derik Queen is coming.

Does Kobe count at 90’s? Lamelo better than Penny?

Lamelo is better than Kobe in the 90's. I wouldn't say he's better than 00's Kobe.

Yeah better than Penny too.

 

[JMB10215]

Yeah you just really dont know much about this sport if you believe that

I watch daily. Jokic has the most fundamental post moves in the sport. Not many teams have a big equally as skilled in footwork

 

[WASHED KING]

Y'all letting his shoe line overrate what Penny really was.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Can’t forget Towns either.

 

[WASHED KING]

Can’t forget Towns either.

Only bigs from the 90's I wouldn't take Towns over is Shaq, Duncan and Hakeem.

I put that on men and boys. Go outside, play sports. Stop sitting at home playing Fortnite and watching Kai Cenat. They’re choosing loneliness. I don’t have sympathy for that. Drugs, gambling, other addictive activities, I can understand.

That’s a choice . I think it’s more complex than that

 

[ALNotSure]

Folks falling in love with the monotony of players walking up court and standing around while a big guy takes a hook shot will never make sense to me.

LakeShow disagrees. You can do both.

David Robinson, Pat and Chris Webber don’t exist…?

Sam Perkins was a shooter too and Derrick Coleman.

Y’all dudes confuse the 50s, 60s and 70s with modern day hoopers.

Players from the 80s, especially 90s and 2000s are farrrrr closer to the skills of modern day players than the 80s.

It’s like comparing pre-1947 baseball before it was integrated with black players.

It’s funny when people ask where can I meet men/women. Take your *** out in public. It’s okay to go out alone and spark up a conversation.

Let's not go so far as to **** on 90's bigs cause Ewing was a lightouts shooter who absolutely would be better in today's game.

He would be spacing the floor, shooting three's and offering Gobert like paint presence on D.

 

[finessence]

That’s a choice . I think it’s more complex than that

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

 

[g-time]

I think David Robinson is a tier below those three.

 

[WASHED KING]

90's bigs that were so good that they all kept losing to 2 perimeter players the entire decade?

But yeah sure lets bring back the post ups

 

[WASHED KING]

David Robinson and Chris Webber don’t exist…?

Yeah give me Towns over David Robinson, and Webber is closer to a modern big than the examples of the ones being referenced in this thread.

I’ve said on here previously that towns would favor Ewings game. Old heads don’t want to hear that though but Ewing was a jump shooting big too.

The Admiral would wreck KAT. What a joke

Screename to post makes sense.

Same way modern day players keep losing to a perimeter player like Steph? Other than Jokic… what have modern bigs won?

A 6’2” 190lb dude out here dominating these guys

 

[finessence]

The Admiral would wreck KAT. What a joke

Kat can’t check Jok or Embiid… but all of a sudden he can check David?

 

[finessence]

Rudy Gobert is 7’3” and can’t even make a layup. But dudes are wayyyy more skilled

And Andre Drummond. Two of the goofiest big man to ever grace the court

 

[trappedintime]

Kat can’t check Jok or Embiid… but all of a sudden he can check David?

Yeah it’s tough dealing with clueless children today.
