Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson would have been "role players"? Hahahahahahaha you have great imagination.
Your bias against todays game is obvious and your close-mindedness shows. You're hellbent on trying to prove something that's just a big fantasy.
This is typical "old heads" thinking. They refuse to let go of the past.
We have had this discussion before, and I've explained it before. Which do you think is the bigger adjustment, going from physical defense to no defense, or vice versa? Ok then. My bias against today's game is obvious because I've openly stated it many times. The difference is, I've seen basketball in real time in the 80s and 90s and today, so I know the difference. Klay Thompson is Dale Ellis (a very good player, hardly a legendary talent) in the 80s-90s, Curry is Steve Kerr. That's my opinion and you can disagree with it, but it isn't fantasy. It's an argument based on experience from being a basketball fan since the 1980s. I watched basketball in real time back then, and I read books about the history of basketball. You should try it sometime, maybe then you'll outgrow the goofy 'old heads' stuff.
Yeah, a self-proclaimed basketball expert.
You said "Which do you think is the bigger adjustment, going from physical defense to no defense, or vice versa?" If todays players played in the 80s and 90s, they would have trained according to the playing style of that era, in order to withstand the physical defense. It's all hypothetical.
And Klay Thompson as Dale Ellis and Stephen Curry as Steve Kerr if they played in the 80s and 90s is completely hypothetical nonsense. Keep living in fantasy.
You opinion on this is not a fact and it's pure fantasy. Your arrogance shows.
I'll quote The Big Lebowski here: " Well, you know, that's just like your opinion man."
