I've known about the seven seconds or less Suns for years, but this is the first time I learned it was to counter Shaq. Not only was it a genius move, it eventually made all big men go the way of the dinosaur.
Steph Curry gets all the credit for the shift in play in the NBA. To be fair he truly popularised the 3 ball. But surely D’Antoni should get more credit for essentially creating the style of play to make way for Steph and the legion of 3pt demons.
HUGE parallels to Cruyff and rhe Dutch team. Never won the WC but tactically the most important innovation that essentially created the first part of modern football (the other half being Arrigo Sacchi’s pressing) The Suns ran so that the Warriors could fly a decade later
Everyone plays D'Antoniball now. Mike was a genius, Nash was the perfect cornestone for his style (so was Lin, Mike is as responsible for Linsanity as Lin himself)

Tbf it makes sense once you realise it was made by D’Antoni, he’s the same one that went all out on Small-Ball just to counter Golden State
From what it looks like, the big man is making a strong return with Embiid, Jokic and by some stretch Giannis as well.
Ironic because they'd later end up bogging the whole thing down by trading Shawn Marion for an over-the-hill Shaq to try and counter Tim Duncan...
@@jochenklausberger9076 It makes sense when you realized dinosaurs never went extinct, but evolved to become smaller, more feathery and aerodynamic.
Big men haven't become extinct. They've had to evolve and become just as athletic and technical as point guards.
This team is actually one of my favourite teams of all time due to their unique play style.
yes because it was very fast for the 2000s
4:04 *Second round of the playoffs, that was the “We-Believe” warriors that won against the first seeded Mavs and their MVP Dirk in 6… an an 8th seed
I loved Steve Nash and Amar'e Stoudemire growing up! Can't wait to watch this one

"It aint about who did it first, it's about who did it right"
