I thought you were a Butler guy Walt? I agree with your 1st pick though. Hard to disagree. I’ll say 1. Russ 2. Durant 3. Embiid 4. Paul George 5. LeBron |

But those guys were def overrated Nah. Ricky Davis was justifiably a laughingstock of a player and is known as such. You’re right on walker. Mookie is properly rated from what I can discern. Rip is vastly underrated from what I can tell. He was great. |

Today It's funny that people think NBA players from the 50s and 60s couldn't make a high school team today but nobody ever says Gordie Howe or Bobby Hull or Jean Belliveau couldn't cut it in the 21st Century juniors. Why did basketball players evolve while hockey players didn't? |

This thread is fake news based on the first 2 posts. Walt and FF listing guys like LeBron and Durant and Embiid, you'd think they're auditioning for Shannon Sharpe's spot on Undisputed. |

Why did basketball players evolve while hockey players didn't? The ball handling and shooting skills speak for themselves. I don't get why it's "mean" to tell an objective truth. It's not Bill Russell's fault no one knew the height of the skill level ceiling. Think about this. No one really jumped in the air to block shots before him. Why bother, shot will be missed anyway and coaches thought that you've put yourself in a bad rebounding position. Russell showed you can block shots and still be right there for a rebound because, holy shit, he was athletic for 6'9". People just didn't know what they didn't know. Just like military evolution, weapons get more dangerous. A ww1 soldier in a trench has no clue about blitzkrieg. |
