Sometimes I Wish I Could Teleport to the 50's / 60's

I think I could definitely end up being one of the legends that everyone remembers. I can dunk every now and then when my knees are feeling good. I'm already ahead of Jerry West at this point.

not sure about west, but I'd wager you'd still beat cousy

Thanks for the support friend. But I like to aim for someone worthwhile ya know. I passed Cousey around 8-9 years old by learning how to dribble between my legs.

You would probably be one of the first cuts during their training camp if you were lucky to be invited. Just because you can palm the ball and travel in today's game doesn't mean that you can get away with that than. Plus you would have to be fundamentally sound even as a bench player.

son, watch some finals from the 60s, you can see them on youtube, and then come hear and bark about refs enforcing palming violations. They didn't enforce them at all. Accept it, players didn't know how to dribble back then.

Hahahaha yeah right. It doesnt take a genius to know that I'd easily be making NBA rosters with my skill set. Just because you have a hard on for 60's ball, doesn't mean that they are skilled players when comparing to todays ball.

Why? if you just get a basic college education and go into a decent career where you can (or eventually can) have a 6 figure salary, you can live a better life than most 50's/60's ballplayers. And are you black? Because if so that definitely will be a worse era for you to live in....

Kids...They'd check your ass into the 2nd row with no foul and you'd walk off and never play again.

Kids? I'm 6'4, 210 and hardly a kid. I'm top 5 all time in the 60's buddy.

[aquaadverse]

Nah, you'd get clotheslined with no foul and weep. You'd dribble between your legs and it would be like the scene from Indiana Jones where he watched the guy whipping around the scimitar and calmly whipped out the gun and shot him.

So do we.

I've heard one-way tickets are much less expensive.

You would be ran off the court and when you felt that contact you would cry. You'd wish you were in your own time when refs allowed you to flop and travel.

[FreezingTsmoove]

Your not even making practice team unless you can play within and set up offense. Plus you better learn how to dribble without palming

And if your black you better be a rebounding specialist because thats the only way your making it

Basketball in the 50's and 60's was not nearly as physical as it is today. Dirty doesn't equate physical and there's much more contact today, it's not even comparable.

Yeah look at that contact. It was so hard that it had a delayed action.
