Worst re-writing of NBA history on ISH?
Every day there's posts about a certain player, game, or series that just makes you think "did you even watch what you are talking about???"...
What are some of the worst interpretations of NBA events that you recall?

"Shaq and Kobe were co-leaders during the 3peat" seems to be a common one for the Kobe kiddies. Totally false.

Over/under 80% of the posts will be about Kobe?

When people who are as young as I am talk about Bill Russel and Wilt like they watched them play.

"Scottie Pippen guarded Magic mainly in the 91 Finals"
This is as false as it gets. Watch the series again and you will see that MJ guarded Magic in most of games 3-5, all of game 1, and the first quarter of game 2. The series is on youtube. I would love to see someone prove with video evidence that Pippen guarded Magic mainly in those finals.
"90s was a watered down era"
Don't want to get into that one.

Today's defense is as good as late 80's through the 90's.

Charles Barkely > Karl Malone comes to mind.
It was easily agreed upon by almost everyone who watched them that Malone was the GOAT power forward. Since Barkley's fan appreciation from TNT, things have steadily moved without any new information added to the story.

"Tayshaun Prince shut down Kobe"
When in reality it was the whole Pistons team.

"Bill Walton sucks"
If you say this you have never seen Walton play and shouldn't comment on such

True...Larry Brown confused Phil Jackson with a strategy he NEVER adjusted to. All year the Lakers played off of Shaq being doubled. Larry decided to double Kobe instead and let Shaq try and beat them by himself. In game on Shaq scored 30+ points on like 13/16 shooting, but they lost because Kobe got shackled. The series went on like this for the duration and Phil Jackson...the supposed GOAT of coaches had no answer for it.

I agree with you. Phil Jackson is so overrated. People think he's the GOAT when he brings top talent teams to the Finals but when he can't bring sh!tty teams to the 2nd round, nothing is said.

Larry Brown is the best coach of my lifetime IMO. Better than Phil...although Phil is a good coach he has also benefited with great teams and great assistants

Within the last two months there was a claim that Luc Longley was a do-everything center and would dominate the game today.

Other cases:
Olajuwon is the GOAT center (No one dared to say such bs in The Dream's prime)
Bill Russell was a role player.
Sabonis was a soviet superman center. He would dominate everybody in the NBA.
Vince Carter and Tmac are as talented as Kobe Bryant.
Allen Iverson was never a great player.
Prime Grant Hill was just as great as Lebron James.
Reggie Miller was better than Mitch Richmond
Pippen was a better defender than Michael Jordan.
60's and 70's players would be scrubs today.
And many more.
