The game looks entirely different than it did 10 years ago, let alone 40 years ago. His skill set from his time doesn't translate to today.
I don't know about that. A guy who can shoot can play in any era. I'm gonna say he'd be pretty much like Kevin Love if he played today. Probably a better shooter.
To take it a step further, Jordan isn't really that great. Because he played thirty years ago and was just dominating guys with shitty skills sets. Am I doing it right?
You’re doing something I don’t do. You struggle in these debates because I don’t fit your caricature of the “modern fan”.
Zero chance Schayes would be the shooter Love is today. It’s an absurd suggestion. Notice how in all those clips he’s not being defended on the perimeter one single time. Any above average wing defender would eat him alive.
That's just claptrap. You have no idea what he would do with a defender trying to guard him. The guy was a great shooter. I'm sure he'd be a great shooter in anyone's league at any time.
But it's hard to criticize the way the game was played 40 years ago without taking down some sacred cows. If you're going to make such arguments you're going to have to deal with that.
