Gervin " "I could get 30 or 40 every night real easy, these days"

[QUOTE=eliteballer]That statement doesn't make any sense. What does being from Russia have to do with it? A white guy from Russia is no different than a white guy from the US.[/QUOTE]

This USA teams are barely beating unknowns. It's no secret that the USA teams have struggled with these euro teams in large part because of fundamentals. I just find it laughable that the NBA players struggle against these guys, but guys from the 60's couldn't compete with today's NBA players.

But fine, you say the same about somebody like Mike Miller who is a 16-18PPG scorer. He isn't all that and a bag of chips either.

[QUOTE=Sir Charles][B][COLOR="blue"]Wrong todays game is boring because we where used to seeing Real Defense :Handchecking was common, no easly Lay ups, Physical Play in the Paint, Most Players had more NAtural Talent, Passing Game and Ball Movement (Reason why more Up Tempo in the 80s, Reason why a 36 year old Magic came and schooled the NBA playing as a Sub in 96), Fundamentals, B-Ball IQ, Winning was as Important and Sometimes more than the Money etc. All things that were a feutre of the nba in the 80s and 90s. People must learn to understand that. There are many people complaining about this not just me or some others in ISH but many...[/COLOR][/B][/QUOTE]

Well, and players personalities also. I can't think of ONE NBA player that I truly truly root for despite being a basketball fan. I don't find Wade, LJ, Duncan and others to be very interesting.

Gervin is just talking smack, but he could definitely average 30 today. It is easier to get to the rim/ft line now and the no hand check rule especially benefits someone who is skinny and can get pushed around.

I was pretty young when Gervin was playing but he was definitely a scoring machine.

He could probably average around 30 ppg every night, but would his team be any good? This is just another reason why athletes in general are considered stupid.

ive never understood the handcheck rule in full. the rule is in the grey area alot of the time. i thought you could use an arm bar?? i see guys still doing it and not getting called for it. i do that and use my fingertips to keep my guy in check my my backs turned towards them, so is that a foul??

[QUOTE=plowking]So you are saying the 80's and 90's were stop-start? Yes, because that would be interesting... :rolleyes:
You are contradicting your belief that 80's/90's were the better era if you disagree with that statement. There was more contact allowed which allowed for a more free flowing game. Where am I wrong in that?[/QUOTE]

never mind I misunderstand you:applause:
