Hubie Brown: Soft Modern Rules Have Taken Away Creativity and Mental Aspect of Game

[Showtime80']

Add another thing to players of the 80's and 90's qualities that were better than the current ones, VERSATILITY!!!!

As tpol failed to acknowledged, the SAME PLAYERS who were stars in the "frolicking around, more possession and more scoring 80's" RULED THE LESS POSSESION, DEFENSIVE MINDED, SLOWER AND LESS SCORRING 90'S!!!!

Jordan, Pippen, Olajuwon, Stockton, Malone, Drexler, Ewing, Robinson, Miller, Barkley etc... ALL RULED THE MID TO LATE 90'S which had LESS POSSESSIONS, WAS MORE PHYSICAL AND LESS SCORING THAN TODAY!!! That was just the GREATEST GENERATION of players the NBA has ever seen!

Remove the 3 point line and add hand checking for the 2017 season, honestly how much would the league average PLUMMET by? 90ppg, 85ppg, 80 ppg?

The present NBA is dumbed down, fundamentally flawed, uncreative and getting younger and RAWER by the minute!

Very good point!

All's I know, without comparing eras, is that the NBA likely climaxed for me with the Spurs finals play in '14. My interest has waned so much in the last two years, and I don't see anything on the horizon to slow the decrease.

[Dro]

The league in which current offenses and defenses are more advanced than ever is "dumbed down". Ok

How is running pick and roll over and over and setting moving screens advanced?

[warriorfan]

lets get this straight

hubie cant win a playoff game in 30 years

yet he says its because the modern game wont let him be creative

what a coincidence

what a salty bitch

they should take him out to the glue factory, this old piece of shit is DONE

[PP34Deuce]

I believe the difference when reading this is $$$$

Kareem and West making half a million a year.
Players that are 6th men making 15 million today.

It's similar to many sports, the game becomes entertainment. It's entertainment for the casual fan. Players are entertainer athletes now.

I don't think it's a matter of they don't know the fundamentals more so they don't need to use them.

Pure basketball is WNBA...Most of you guys should watch that if you want pure plays and movement.

[bigkingsfan]

Nobody wants to watch basketball with scores in the 80's

Phil Jackson DOMINATED the 2000's and he says the same thing as Hubie Warriorsfan, try again!!!

Hell the 90's generation (which got it's clock cleaned by the 80's guys) are twice as good as this one. Put these players in today's NBA and they would absolutely wreck the present posers a new one:

Shaq
Mourning
Webber
Kemp
Payton
Penny
Hill
Kidd
Wallace
Glen Robinson
Mashburn

How many playoff victories does Phil Jackson have with out a guy named Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant?

DAT BBALL IQ DOE!!!!

[Showtime80']

How many playoff victories does Steve Kerr have without Steph Curry?!?!

None and even he thinks the present NBA is softer and caters to shrimps like Steph:

Well Steve Kerr has along way to go still since he is close to half the age as the other two senile pieces of shit you keep sucking off

Kerr will probably never devlop a high level of bball iq though

If Kerr had any sort of BBall IQ he would of managed to put up better production than 6ppg/2assists/1 rebound per game for his career

Kerr is an awful player who piggiebacked success off of Michael Jordan, much like Phil Jackson

Just because you are in close proximity to Michael Jordan and ride his coat tails doesn't mean you know about ball

Kerr slams the modern day game because he is looking for excuses on why he was an awful bench warmer that could only manage to score 6 points a game

He is also a pretty meek individual, he knows that Jordan will find his ass and put him in his place if he puts disrespect on his name or his 90's

In Summary

Kerr is a scared cuck who rode Jordan's coattails and got his lights punched out by him when he tried to step. In return he praises the 90's so Jordan doesnt beat that ass again and it excuses why Kerr could only score 6 points per game.

Makes you wonder how the Warriors went 7-1 in the playoff games that Glass missed doesn't it? As well as GAC playing like shit in a few other's, including back-to-back blowout losses.

Here are the Warriors with an incompetent coach, and bums like Klay, Dray, Iggy, et al...and playing better without the Fragile One.

But, I wouldn't expect a Warrior-Hater to have anything good to say about Mildly Bruised Knee's surrounding cast.

Hubie is one of the most knowledgable minds ever. He is speaking truth. Hubie has never been the bitter type anyways. He's just calling it like he sees it.

That's what trips me out, these kids get so offended even though when Hubie's doing the games, he gives ALL THESE GUYS credit that are playing today. He gives EVERYONE their deserved props. The kids just don't like it cause he's telling the truth. Anybody older than 15 ****ing years old should be able to see the game is dumbed down...

[Optimus Prime]

Hubie laying down the truth. Like someone else already said, Hubie has forgotten more about the game of basketball than these ignorant kids will ever know in their collective lifetimes.

Lets watch the great jerry West while hes getting hounded up the court in a Finals series from the 70s, with forearm shivers if he goes one way, and grabbin the hips if he goes another.









The fact of the matter is, if you watch these whole series from the 70s, players were always trying to work their way to a contested, sweet spot jumper like 15 feet from the hoop, which they didnt hit at great rates because of how contested shots that close to the hoop are. This is compounded by role players from that era having absolutely no range, so all the defenders basically already have a foot inside the paint.


Imagine if Jerry West could do this ..





just pull up from 30 and drain with ease .. the defense would have to be ready to leap at him that far out, at any second, which if they do gives the ball handler free reign to blow right by (you cant handcheck while youre in the air).

But in Jerry Wests case the defense knows he's looking to dribble the ball as close to the hoop as possible, hes never going to pull up from super deep, so you can sag off, hell, they even let him dribble with his right hand while going left .. And hubie talking about pressure and physicality lmao. In the paint sure. Thats what happens when role players cant shoot and there's absolutely no spacing.



Seriously go WATCH these games on youtube.. the perimeter play is just not impressive at all. Centers are amazing, but I do wonder why there's a lack of fronting aggressiveness in ball denial. Seems like the defense just lets these guys catch in the post and doesnt even contest .. today it feels like a rugby scrum before the catch anytime a player wants to post up.
