Dat Strong Era Doe

[aj1987]

I do have to give props to Godbe for that one. Was that the first time Dwight played the Lakers?

I'm sure that Dwight responded in Wilt fashion and blocked everyone of Kobe's attempts in the paint the rest of the game.

He probably would've, if he was playing against players with a 10" vertical. This is Kobe though. Not gonna happen.

Kobe, Lebron and Wilt have all been brought up. Might as well complete the circle.

As great as that Kobe dunk on Dwight was, it doesn't top Jordan's dunk 24 years ago (lot of time for sports evolution) when he destroys a double team in the corner and dunks on Ewing waiting in the paint.


Before him, the Doctor could get up like Kobe too:




He entered the ABA in 1971.

Then there was Guy Johnson in the 60s:

Some weak era goodness:

Wilt to Elgin full court:


Flash Chamberlain:


Cousy passing:


Russell wasn't slow either:


One of the small, white centers Wilt dominated:

It`s funny and tragic that Cavs speeds up his videos to prop the 60s.

Look at this Gus Johnson video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFs3reTeOwM

Pretty much all his videos contains sequences that are sped up.

Dishonest.

To see how good today's players really are at BASKETBALL, they should play some exhibitions where they remove the 3-point line.

Here's my prediction of what would happen:

Players wouldn't know the right way to play - most teams would still try to run screen-roll/drive-and-kick, but since they are only driving and kicking for TWO-pointers and not 3-pointers, league-wide ORtg and PPG would plummet - offenses would suck...

Then a team would come along whose offense WASN'T based on drive-and-kick, and instead was based on post ups and midrange.. This team's offense would be far superior to the other teams who drive-and-kick for 2-pointers, and they would wreck the league.. After that, every team would copy that team and the offenses around the league would return to post and midrange play, like the 80's.

This will be the "cousy dribble" gif in 20 years.

The current fad of using individual gifs to push an agenda has got to be the lamest trend in the history of this website...

You people suck ass.

You mean there was a time when ISH wasn't pushing an agenda using gifs?

That is same thing as say ; "60's weak era" . I think 60-64 era , best era ever play basketball .
But this way is wrong.

Speeding up this video won't make Lebron look better:
