It was silly but). Chamberlain would have been even stronger, even better with modern techniques. crazy that lebron dominates the modern nba today when he doesn't lift

I want to know Dokmo's thoughts on Olynyk and his value in the NBA. Like, he has a decent 3pt stroke and great hands around the rim but I'm pretty sure he's terrible at rebounding and defense. I dunno.

quote:And what happens if a defender shaded towards the basket, like the guy in the middle here just under the FT line? The whistle got blown, as it did just after this screen shot. The number of illegal defense calls suggest that the whistle didn't blow when this happened if it was happening all game long, especially considering how often it's been employed over the year. There has always been all types of zones and switching and traps whatever the rules were (the only "new" defensive strategies are those that are employed to guard the three point line). They dropped the rule because refs weren't enforcing it, and have been hesitant to enforce it throughout history: quote:The native Philadelphian observed that one thing he learned quickly in the NBA was that although zone defenses are illegal, he is faced with modified zones every time he plays. https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=bLocAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JGUEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4547,1599737&dq quote:•Filling the seats: With certain exceptions, like Patrick Ewing, NBA teams are reluctant to pay for defensive stars. There are no true defensive stats besides blocks, steals ("Even they're misleading," says former Celtic, Buck and Net assistant John Killilea, "because they don't count attempts") and defensive rebounds, and a tough man-to-man defender's worth is hard to quantify come contract time. Every coach wants a guy like Denver's T.R. Dunn (a 6.3 points-per-game career scorer but a defensive demon), but general managers look at low score/low ticket sales stats and snap the purse shut. http://www.apbr.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2998 quote:After the Jazz practiced at the United Center today, Sloan was asked whether Pippen was guilty of defending illegally -- guarding the ball instead of his man -- a violation punishable by a technical foul after a warning. Sloan, perhaps Chicago's greatest defender before this current group of Bulls made their mark, would not take the bait. http://www.nytimes.com/1998/06/09/sports/nba-finals-every-turn-jazz-finds-pippen-bulls-consummate-defender-picks-apart.html

That's Joe Fulks and the Warriors.

I think you're being disingenuous because I know you watched in the 90s and can't really believe defense is the same now as then apart from 3s I don't have a large stock of footage to access but it took going to literally one whole game on youtube to find examples. You can go to almost any Jazz possession that isn't a Malone post up but I like the defensive possession after the start (although I start the clip here just because it is a very modern open 3 due to the Bulls over-rotating): https://youtu.be/j-7qNUPlkmQ?t=1h13m (also go back two minutes if you want to see Dennis Rodman get a technical for getting stomped on by Karl Malone). Brian Williams (the future late Bison Dele, may he rest in peace) is particularly blatant and very rarely is within 10 feet of Greg Ostertag and barely even pretends to play 'legal' defense. But as you see throughout the game the Bulls on almost every non-Malone post up have a guy briefly go up to the tip of the free throw line to pretend to follow the rule, but either Rodman or Pippen almost always end up below the line and in the paint to rotate to every drive and you even see a little bit of switching (although as Dokmo has pointed out in the past, teams don't actually run pick and roll that much so it wasn't as necessary against the Jazz). Yes, I watched basketball in the 90s which is why I know that illegal defense calls had very little influence on games. Every generation thinks they invented sex, drugs, music and team defense.

The B_36 posted:Wilt is the answer to the question "what if <insert whatever modern player> was transported back to the 50's or 60's?". The prospect of Devin Booker putting up multiple 100+ point games is intriguing. patonthebach posted:If Lebron played in the sixities how do you think he would have made out. How about Shaq then? Prime LBJ would've decimated the Celtics dynasty. Shaq would've been a bigger liability as the FT rules back then were harsher on awful FT shooting. You could foul a guy even when he didn't have the ball without extra penalty. So get ready for lots of games with Shaq shooting 20+ FTAs and missing a ton and fans booing, jeering and throwing giant foam hands at him.

You don't have to whistle illegal defenses for the rule to have an effect. From the same game you linked to, here is Malone yelling and pointing at the two defenders illegally below the FT line: One second later they get back to their normal positions, opening up the lane:  This happened all the time.
