@@lebronjames1474 Yea I agree the kid behind this account would be getting abused so bad all the players in that era would be arrested
Bron played in the same era as him, but one key rule was taken out once he was drafted in the league. That rule was ultimately the hand check rule, and furthermore the NBA became softer once they started implementing more rules. That undeniably made the sport soft just so the league can make more revenue through the offensive side of the spectrum.
Gilbert believes the modern era is the best. I don’t think he’s wrong, but he’s definitely taken a side.
People seem to forget that Lebron has played for almost 2 decades. He isn't just a current player, he's been an NBA player for more of his life than he has not.
That's mental isnt it. Most people can't even get into the NBA and LeBron has been there longer than he hasn't. I wonder how many ever achieved something like that.

The point about great players adapting, lebron came into the league with the three pointer being his main weakness but he's been in the league so long that the three became essential and he developed his game and expanded his range to the half court line.

@@BenDovahkin He didnt need the 3 to be an offensive juggernaut, he was already lethal in the mid-range. But Lebron needed to adapt his game cuz hes getting old, in his younger days he woulda just dunked the ball and drive but now he mainly relies on mid-range shooting and 3 pointers

@@samschott5632 You do know that the league average for 3 pointers in the NBA is 34.7%? He might not be the best but he is definitely capable of shooting a 3. You probably just got used to monsters like Steph who shoot 40+% from 3
I love that Rasheed and Rodman claimed they would dominate KD, but Kobe said he couldn’t ever figure out how to stop KD.
Kobe is a guard and KD is almost 7 feet… of course Kobe would say that 🤦🏼♂️ Sheed and Rodman certainly could if PJ Tucker made life hell for KD in the playoffs last year. Nobody is dominating KD though, as he showed he can handle that physicality in 7 gm series. But KD has a variety of skills that allows him to play through physicality (sick cross, off dribble quickness, pull up contested Js, elite 3pt shooter). LeBron on the other hand, I think Rodman and Pippen would actually lock him up like 55 to 60% of the time bc his game really is one dimensional when it comes to scoring. Much like Giannis with slightly better J and much better passing.

Lol it’s not a skill thing, he’ was saying they didn’t let you dunk like that over and over in that era, dude woulda contested him and it wouldn’t have been a foul (unlike Jordan’s era where he took physical punishment but he got to the line every time). But wilt is right about how the game was different in his era, the nba did not favor individual scoring, it favored team ball and defense. So a lot of the things 90’s players and Jordan did, palming the ball, “backing” ppl down, etc wasn’t allowed in wilt’s era. Like y’all imagine shaq being defended by Gordon heyward when y’all think of wilt but that’s not how the era was, they were all between 6’10” and 7 ft, and you actually couldn’t back ppl down, they would have called offensive fouls. All of wilt and kareem’s points came off actual moves and shots.

If someone from back then practiced shooting three's it would be a completely different story. Same way players today could adapt to the 90's playstyle . Some more, some less
Gilbert Arenas is smart on that opinion.
It’s because Gilbert isn’t blinded by biased when it comes to the game. Saying that “Oh xxx couldn’t survive in my era because *blank blank blank* “ is the same thing as saying “Player A from the 90s couldn’t survive today’s era because they don’t have the pacing or adjustments to the speed of the game.” It’s all hypothetical and impossible to say for sure if players would be successful if they switched eras.

i saw Stephen Jackson on a show once saying Lebron wouldnt last in his era. Stephen Jackson was drafted like 5-6 years before Lebron and they were in the league for 11 years together. Anyone who thinks todays players are soft because of the way they exaggerate fouls must be slow. When you see someone bump Lebrons forearm and he goes flying just think about this: do you really REALLY think a slap on the arm would effect Lebron like that? You think it causes him so much agony that he cant go on? Of course not. They do it because they know more times than not they'll get a foul call because thats how the nba is officiated now. More foul calls = more free throws = more points = more wins = bigger contracts etc. If you took any "tough guy" from the 80's and told them they could go from scoring 17 points per game to 25+ by just exaggerating any contact they receive i guarantee they'd do it. 17 ppg guys make 25 mil a year. 25+ ppg guys make 40 mil and get shoe deals.
Your talking about today’s players who flop for fouls, but think they could handle the “Jordan Rules” era of Basketball? Players like Laimbeer, Rodman, Barkley & Shaq, who were known to be physical & flagrant!?! Not only did you have to be physically tough, but mentally as well. Jimmy said it his own self: LeBron would’ve been Karl Malone in that era. And how many championships did he win?
so the misconception in what you're stating is 5-6 years made a difference in the league. Early 2000s till mid 2000s were the last stages of a more physical era and it started changing the other way towards a softer era very quick so it kind of makes sense for stephen jackson to mention that.
@@Messiah_Black nba is the only major sports entity where such a large portion of fans are unwilling to acknowledge the fact that players are constantly improving.
@@dubsont1de I don’t know if it’s that so much, as it is the NBA relies heavily on marketing it’s best individual players more than any other team sport. The NFL doesn’t need Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen to be better than Tom Brady to sell tickets, in the same way the NBA needed LeBron & Kobe to be the “next” MJ to boost ratings. People who weren’t even a fan of basketball would come to see Jordan drop 50 pts, or watch Kobe win his 3rd Championship. A list celebs sitting court side at games made Basketball the place to be “seen” in the sports world. And because of this, there is more of a “prima donna” attitude now with basketball players more than any other athlete. You see all these big name players, constantly whining & switching teams, demanding high salaries then not honoring their contracts, joining up together on a handful of good teams just to chase championships... Wasn’t like that back in the day, and it’s stuff like this that takes the competitiveness, mystique & sportsmanship out of the game. You said it yourself: they flop to get more points & bigger contracts. So are players really “improving,” or just padding their numbers🤔? You didn’t have that type of mentality during previous eras, so naturally people are gonna be more reminiscent of the “good ol days” when it seemed like there was less drama & more work ethic.
@@Messiah_Black . So are players really “improving,” or just padding their numbers? Players are improving. Period. Anything that humans continue to do over a long period of time they will improve at. Rewarding flopping is a rules issue, not a soft player issue. If the refs rewarded flopping in any other era theyd flop too. Do you think players would still flop even if they had never been rewarded for it? Just laying on the court for absolutely no reason? of course not.

@@eyeconqueror1185 well, there was like 8 teams back then. That doesn't count
Rasheed Wallace is like that 90s kid born on December 1999 talking about 2000s kids
If you actually look at league wide scoring through time, you can see that actually the early 90s were way higher scoring than the early 2010s. The only seasons where teams average 101 points or lower per game was a continuous stretch from 1996-2015. That means most of LeBron’s career was in the lowest scoring years in NBA history. Recency bias has made us think he played in high scoring leagues his whole career.
2015-2024 is a lot of years. He’s benefitted GREATLY from the last decade. This past season, teams averaged 114 per game. 14 players scored 25 or more per game. In 2001-02, teams scored 95 per game and everyone acts like Jordan was a scrub dropping 22.9 per game (25 at the time of his injury in game 46 - him and Kobe were the only two players in the league averaging 25/5/5 at all star break). Only 6 players scored 25 or more that year. LeBron was amazing the first decade of his career… the second decade he’s benefited from an inflated offensive era.
This is why I liked Kobe cuz he never said this type of stuff he appreciates the players and the game and tried to make basketball better
You don't know Kobe! Kobe was interested in one thing and that is being THE MAN - he didn't care about winning, or the other players, he just wanted to be the man. The Lakers had a period where they appeared in 4 finals out of 5 and won 3. Kobe was dissatisfied because Shaq was the leading scorer, MVP, & focus of the offense. He threaten to leave unless they got rid of Shaq, Phil Jackson and all the rest. From that point on Kobe was the man even though the team was losing before they bounce back and then started losing again. The last 6 or 7 years Kobe & the Lakers didn't even have winning seasons but Kobe was satisfied because he was the man.

Exactly--love him or hate him, LeBron was amazing. He's been amazing his whole career, even when he was still getting better all the time, and that's what the best do: adapt and keep getting better. Not only that, what these discussions never recognize is the nature/nurture question. I don't think it's fair to say this or that player 'would be soft', if he played in the past. Even thought it's definitely true that some would be soft, we can't really know which ones, because the way the game was played during each era shaped those players. They have developed and adapted their games to the era in which they played/are playing. A lot of the players they call soft today have really just adapted to and developed in the current league and its rules. If they had to learn and play the older ways, they would have. By definition that is what the best always do, and most of the best today, would have been able to play with the best back in the day, and vice versa.
A 💯. If basketball was still as physical as it were back then a lot of these current players will have adapted! They’re not “soft” just adhering to the league current rules!

Ive always thought alot about the "softness" thing, and people complaining about flopping both in basketball and football. As much as I hate it too, part of me does realise that its the players trying to abuse every single millimeter of the ruleset to get ahead of their opponents. You know, winning. If you find more tools to get more points why not abuse it, its just become part of the IQ skillset of the sport
They didn’t find loopholes to exploit, the rules of the game have literally been changed to make scoring easier Lol
Facts
LeBron or any other player wouldn't flop if they think its useless. Many players now would flop to get fouls. People should realize that in 'THIS ERA' flopping is also a skill in basketball.
And they act like guys like Bill Laimbeer and other dirty players from that era weren’t whining, flopping, foul baiting, and complaining to grab any foul call they could get to help their team. It’s just a bit hypocritical that’s all.
@@ImTooms oh my God cry lol
I like the point on adaptation because it makes sense. If you play an aggressive style because your era allows you to do that without catching fouls and you bring that to an era that’s more foul-prone, you won’t necessarily be better, you’ll just see a bigger deviation between your offensive and defensive numbers. You’ll probably put up more points and assists per game because you’re not getting whaled on as much when you have the ball. However, you’re probably getting more fouls called on you when you’re defending or going for rebounds because you’re used to being aggressive and you fall for foul baits more often. You may even foul out of the game more often. So your overall impact on the game isn’t objectively better, it’s just different. Adaptability is a skill all great players have and it’s one they never stop demonstrating. It’s how they learned the game in the first place and you know what they say about greatness: you never stop learning.
I don't care what Era we talking about Curry is still getting his points.
For real
Steph is getting buckets he gets by people cause he has handles and you have to run out on him. Hand checking ? That changes a lot cause Curry is not physically fast or athletic for Nba standards .

Lots of great points made in this video. Not afraid to admit that I changed my mind about a few things after watching
One of the best NBA/basketball videos I’ve seen on KZhead in a while. So many hot takes in this one. I started watching NBA in 2001 - Lakers vs Sixers. I’ve been a Kobe fan ever since. Today, this younger generation wants to drop the Ja’s, LaMelo’s, etc in the same convos at times with Kobe, because they “don’t know what they don’t know.” And when Steph’s name is mentioned?! They’ve got him in GOAT convos. Meanwhile, my father watched Jerry West & then the Magic, Bird, Kareem era. In the same way, I know those guys were all-time greats - but I missed those eras, so I know I have the same appreciation dad does also. “Generational bias” nails this idea down best - we all think best basketball was/is during “our” time.
The KD thing is totally true, we've never seen a player like KD literally ever. There's been people who had similarities to superstars, few people who even literally model their game after their idol etc But we've never seen a 7ft scorer who literally has every move in his bag... Ever. When all is said and done KD will be looked back on as a top 10 of all time.

Steph Curry is allowed to shoot like that because the defense isn't allowed to play full court pressure you can't jack up shots when full court press is allowed
Oh yeah plus hand checking was already illegal if it happened beyond the foul line... Oh you best believe players like Harden and Curry would have abused that to get to the line 1000 times a season... Just like Jordan did when he averaged 37 a game.
@@lamar1990lg Bro if Curry played in Jordans era you had to play 1v1 or commit to a full double there was no zone schemes and every time curry got the ball he would do 1 of 3 things. He would either embarrass the guy 1 on 1 and get open to take an easy 3 because he's a dribble God, he would have gotten pressed by the D and would dribble into you and pull up for a 3 and you would hand check him and send him to the line. Or lastly you would commit to a full double team and he would pass off to his wide open teammate. Curry is small but the league used to be simpler then what it is now while they have to worry about being guarded by 3 guys while they are also still guarding their man because they can just play a zone all day.
Let's be honest, most NBA stars today would've been just fine in the other ERAs.
Greats can be great in any era
Most, yes. But the game changes. I think someone like Steph would've been more like Steve Nash 20 years ago. Harden and Kyrie wouldn't have been nearly as good because refs actually called traveling back then, and didn't let you get those cheap fouls. Bron would've been great, but probably wouldn't be averaging 25 at 37 years old...because the paint was more clogged and he'd have to work way harder for buckets. On the other side, many dominant bigs from the past would've had to develop a deep shot, or they wouldn't be used as much. Guards who have no 3 point shot wouldn't even make a roster. AI wouldn't be allowed to take 30 shots on poor efficiency. Some players would be better now, like Reggie Miller and Larry Bird. They'd be taking 12 3pt shots per game. The game just changes. Overall, greats are gonna be great. It's just a matter of HOW great.
Just like how old players from former eras would’ve been great in today’s game, nba players adapt to the current state of the game
@@paulh.9937 i gotta disagree, it can but being a great doesnt translate completely to everywhere
@@John6-40 Paint clogged? You weren't even allowed to come off your man to provide help or it was illegal defense. LeBron is in a 1 on 1 every play with an open lane behind his man. You think he wouldn't score 25? I can't think of too many guys stopping LeBron coming downhill with no help. And I actually don't like LeBron at all because he complains about no calls way too much.
No matter the ERA. Great Players will always be great.
Whilst the game of basketball has evolved worldwide, a lot of countries around the world have seen improvements in their national teams. For example, Nigeria beat USA in a recent friendly for the first time. Many European basketball players are entering the top 10 to 20 first round draft picks and breaking records, such as Jokic, Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo

Love how Jimmy uses facts and stats to make a conclusions everytime
Absolutely, love some of his quotes too. "Great players are going to excel in any era". "Delusion doesn't discriminate age". Just WOW.
He left out the fact that the NBA made handchecking illegal in 2004. I think this helped Lebron since he's not a great shooter, and doesn't have the moves or footwork of Jordan or Kobe. I'm not saying he's not a great player though.
one issue is though that Jimmy doesn't mention stats/facts that don't support his point which is a major problem as it creates a false narrative
Those facts aren't always correct! 5:15 he said LeBron averaged 27.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists He actually averaged 27.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists!
Rasheed Wallace played from 1996-2010-2013 LeBron James played from 2003-202? Major rule changes occurred from 2000-2002 making the game MUCH Softer. It is just a fact that the modern era is softer than the 90's. On the plus side, the class of 2010-2015 looks like a rough bunch. East looks Beast.
I'm curious to hear more about that flopping/fouling technique in today's game. It sure makes it LOOK weak - but why are players doing it? Is it actually beneficial to complain and flop so much? Is it working or making players look stupid? i'd love to hear the Jxmy perspective on this.

Ex 90s NBA Player: *"Back in my days I was getting hit with missiles and bazookas to the basket. I had blood coming out of my mouth when I got handchecked. I played in a man's league unlike these soft little boys."*
Hand checking was eliminated in the 2004 rule change that outlawed hand-checking in the NBA. Instead of using their hands to keep offensive players in front . This was one of the changes in era
I learned something. In fact, this video taught me so much, it changed my mind in less than 15 minutes.
"KD is just tall" as if being tall af with a huge wingspan isn't literally the best build you can have in the NBA
Yea he’s tripping, talking about he’s just tall, he’s also one of the best scorers in the nba, maybe even all time, and with his height and him being able to shoot, KD was bound for greatness
You aren't always at your max wingspan at all times while you are playing...you have to dribble, run, create space, jump. There are numerous ways to guard any size person. Yall acting like KD is running down the court with his arms all the way up with a ball in his hand so you can't touch it.
@lita when he said that I knew the interviewer look at him like you’re just full of it literally there’s never ever in the history of basket ball a player like kd ever existed Jordan and Kobe acknowledge him and that’s all that matter everybody else 🤷🏾♂️

Great take my dude, however, both eras have solid points on the matter. However, the business behind the game of basketball and sports in general has skyrocketed over the last decade. Today it is all about marketing strategies and branding and less about the physical aspect of the game of basketball..the fan base is higher worldwide, video game sales are through the roof, players are much more athletic and talented and they deserve to be payed way more nowadays, and the rules have changed to fit this era and will always change as players are extraordinarily more gifted. Love the debate this topic raised, awesome work my guy.
Comparing eras is tough because of the evolution of the game, training, nutrition, shoe technology, etc. Sure, the guys today are skilled, but they also benefitted from the earlier guys who helped evolve and improve the game overall. There’s a lot of nuance to the conversation that most people don’t mention. I would argue too that in previous generations their was far less PED use than there is today.
