It only took 29 seconds into the first video I watched to prove my theory.



Larry Bird, in 91, at a time when he was known as one of, if not the greatest outside shooter in NBA history, was left alone at the top of the key.

Hey look, another one!

This was the next shot he made.



Are you starting to catch my drift?

I'm not making this stuff up!

Here is Reggie Miller from the same game!



ZERO DEFENSE!


I'm not even HALFWAY through the video and every shot he's made from downtown was completely open.



Need I say more?

90s defense was terrible!

Excellent post

Defense was garbage back then, hence the inflated ppg for the entire league

[oh the horror]

Sure kiddo. Whatever you say. If you were around we'd pat you on the head politely and send you away.



Problem with threads like this is, these kids find little clips on YouTube or pictures and immediately form an entire argument based on something with zero context.


this is why we don't take you seriously. Some of us were actually watching ball back in the 90s. Stop.

Which is why everybody loved it so much lmao. Jordan was the best offensive player and the highest scorer so he dominated the weak defense era.

[diamenz]

the 3 point shot wasn't considered a high quality shot back then unless you were an elite shooter. elite shooters were guarded accordingly. it was a much higher priority to protect the drive & the paint.

op is a simpleton. vote trump - maybe he can help u win again and get better deals.

The modern defense

[oh the horror]

Yeah that's the reason everyone loved him.


You dudes are embarrassing yourselves.

[sd3035]

I guess scoring was higher in the 80s and early 90s because the defense was way better

some people are truly retarded

OP gettin spit-roasted in his own thread.

Nah bro

So why is it higher now than the 90s? Defense is better?

[CuterThanRubio]

Nobody is roasting me, period.

I made a claim and supported it and will continue to support it and laugh while these guys desperately scramble!

The guy was acting like Larry Bird never saw an open shot in his life, I IMMEDIATELY proved him wrong and he refused to address it. (You got owned and tried so hard to clap back, just accept it)

Run but you can't hide from the truth!

Those gifs aren't helping your case, either.

Harden guided Durant left into the paint where a man was waiting to contest or take a charge, and why is that one cut short? Because he missed that shot.

FAILURE!

Since when is forcing a player to their weak side and directly into a bad shot poor defense? If that was the 90s Harden would have been standing at the elbow waiting while KD hoisted a jumper.

And footage from the Nash Lakers? LOL HELLO, PAGING 2016


This isn't a rare event, it's undeniable and I felt it needed to be brought to the attention of the people~!

Avg ppg was significantly higher than now during the season of the "shrug" game

PPG dropped once the hand check rule was introduced. It forced defenders to actually use footwork and defend their man instead of standing around and lazily reaching
