jordan made them take hand checking away 😅. it was for the 2 guard & point guard.
Adam I hear you but I disagree. You can’t handcheck Steph when he is pulling up from distance
Look at silver. Too Physical. Whatt… Just sums up the NBA is weakkkkkkkkll😢
Loved 90’s basketball, and those with real talent showed the difference between themselves and an average player. Todays NBA is the worse, it’s who can shoot the most threes, no movement, everyone scores 30, breathing is a foul. Hate it
Silver is right. You 90s fans all have rose tinted glasses. The past always looks more appealing. The game has never been better than it is today.
Adam silver: "If guys could just bang him-" 🤨
Talking like AI didnt exist.
Ai survived in that era 🤷♂️
That's interesting because that's exactly what Jordan had to fight through and conquer to get to the top… there's a difference between playing dirty and playing aggressively. I'm not going to lie, I miss players getting knocked down if they tried going into the paint.
NBA just soft now
90’s 2000’s era was the best cause each team had their one or maybe two all stars and it was physical, get in the paint first and the 3 ball was last resort it was just overall way more intense way more exciting.
& Thats why Steph has never competed in FIBA. Olympics to be more exact. He cant handle that kind of game
That's BS! Hand checking didn't hamper Iverson or any other incredibly skilled players.
Now all the slower less athletic players with zero hoops can score 50 in the league at any time. Luka even laughed when he said, it's way easier to score in the NBA than in his country's league. The Dream Team is laughing in disgust at this trash
Bring that back
Basketball is a physical game..come on Adam..are you kidding me
Bs
So yall cheating for steph
Excellent question. Perhaps the game got too physical. Now, it seems to have de-emphasized the defensive player and unfairly rewards offense.
KG knows Adam Silver is a baby and doesn’t really know the game. That’s why “superstars” like Anthony Davis that are made of glass exist
Rena handshake back he'll make Steph Curry a player it made Michael Jordan tougher and better and obsessive
The 90s were the best!!!!!!!!!
Imagine when allllll u do is lie n then have the worse excuses n then turn it into STREETBALL INSTEAD OF PRO
Why KG said “TIME” all weird like that? 🥷 tweakin’ 😂
“Your physical because you can’t play Defense” – Gilbert ‘Habachi’ Arenas
I’m gonna whoop you
I saw guys like Tony Allen, Bruce Bowen, Kawhi Leonard, Kobe Bryant, and Chris Paul more than hold their own defensively well after hand checking was taken out of the game. You can be a great defender without putting your hands on the ball handler so please old heads stop using the hand check as an excuse. In your era of basketball teams used to waste 3 roster spots on guys that represented nothing other than 6 fouls. Now they can feel out a roster with actual talent
Tremont Waters belongs in the NBA
So this verified that the players are not up to the physical caliber of the older generations
