Commentator gawked at Iverson potentially averaging 43 he must not know who he is😂😢
Bro avg 33 without threes as well.. this is OBVIOUSLY a kid commenting… lol that comment alone I stopped at 4:12 and I’m not even finishing this video. You all have a bless rest of your lives
Dude was hating on AI the whole video lol
Yeah, he's ignorant at best! A.I. could definitely shoot 3's!! But in that era, if you attempted 15 / 3's a game, you would be OUT of the NBA!!!
A.I was a slasher and scorer. He definitely would get to the rim easy in this era and score. Might get like 50 a game
@@ELVENEVN one important thing is A.I. wouldn't get banged up like he did back in the day....
Brah iverson can shoot 3rs if he chose to ,but 2,4,6,8,10,,,is exactly what it is just 5 extra buckets ....if you think iverson couldn't average that 40,then you don't really know iverson ,simple
Luka wouldn't be that good in AI era they actually had to play defense..
Exactly 💯
@@DonD-rb1mrDid you watch Luka against the Clippers? He can lock down when he wants.
Iverson against the defense of today?He would wreck havoc....
Iverson wasn't that good at the 3s, he was okay.
Luka is not slow he plays at his own pace and speeds up when he needs to it works so well that’s why he so good
Yeah you have to have a change of gear to make it in the league. He's one of the best ever at shifting from 3rd to 1st.
To deny this is to actually state how horrible the rest of the nba so called athletes are who can't stop him.
I remember they said Larry Bird couldn't dunk for Years. Dude could fly under the basket from the side and do a 180 and slam it. I'd say 15% of the league could do that at the time. But it was still said. Because they wanted to dog the rest of white people and you couldn't not add Larry Bird when you were talking about the NBA back then. So they had to dawg his game even when the truth was gonna keep being put right in front of them.
It's really how the Media works. They love this division crap. In fact you might even say it's their primary objective.
Want Evidence. Whites are killed twice as often than blacks in these Confrontations with the Law. But you won't hear a peep about them. Cause they want people believing the exact opposite of reality and being angry which leads to hate and leads to innocent people dying when people should be acting like individuals and getting along at a all time high. Their is a ton more just like this but lets just state the Media is very good at their job(and obviously reporting unbias news isn't part of that).
"White Liberals Use Black People as a Political Football In their Ongoing War with Conservatives"
Malcolm X.
exactly!
I do not like the media bias against White.players in the NBA. I am Black.
Unfortunately, your stat does not help your argument. Your statement regarding the likelihood of being killed during an interaction with law enforcement is incorrect.
@@levimcfadden7276 If you are speaking to me. You are in fact wrong.
It was in fact a black harvard professor who came out with the facts. that indeed stopped a whole year long media propaganda and riots that was ended overnight by the facts finally coming out.
Now I know what you are gonna do. It's almost not your fault as you been trained to do it. But you seem like you might me intelligent, So this is something you need to address before you can get to the deeper truths. a truth many do not want.
Look Whites are killed twice as much as blacks in these confrontations with the law. That is a fact.
Now what you are no doubt doing is what the media scrambled to do when this information first came out. Now they couldn't discredit it. it was factual. But they could spin it. And they came back with the only thing they could. which was to say.
Well yes they are killed more often but when you factor in percent then blacks are still killed (in these confrontations with the law) more often.
Which you don't know is that this excuse was also debunked because while true blacks are not killed as much but are killed at a higher per capita. Blacks are much much more likely to have cops be called to a deadly dangerous situation where the out of control criminal is black than it is white.
Therefore going by Percent, actually shows whites are still killed more often because the percent of blacks acting a fool(while not more than whites) it is way more than whites per capita.
And let me ask you to try to realize what you did. You took a fact. A fact that is clearly hidden from the public(but readily available for those that search for it, and I am talking NYTimes and WaPo and other Leftwing sources that don't like the findings). and you tried to deny it. Probably due to the percent spin(which is not a argument you win when the same argument is used back against it).
You been played. Many of you are willing slaves to the liberal placation. Though they certainly wouldn't phrase it that way. It is still true for many.
"White Liberals Use Black People as a Political Football in Their Ongoing War with Conservatives"
Malcolm X.
Nah. He’s slow.
Not the best athlete.
No shade. He’s highly skilled. More than make up for it.
Luka is also strong. Has great pace.
Wait, am I the only one who commented just because of the shade the dude is throwing at A.I? This dude is crazy A.I is the prototype for many of these young cats today. Then this guy says A can't shoot threes. A prime Iverson would straight bake these dudes today period. Taking nothing away from any of these outstanding young players but this movement to minimize how good the OG'S were in the game is going to far.
I agree. He pretty much brought the crossover style of point guard into existence.
Yes Sir ! Yes Sir ! . . . Truth be told: Iverson could come back into the league right now and probably average 30+ points a game!!
A.I.’a basically saying “he wishes he was in Kyrie’s shoes right now.” 😂 And I 100% agree with his opinion of Luka.. Luka is the best rn
Best Caucasian yes best player nah.
@@PathtoYahawahJokic is best Caucasian
@@Time4SumAksion021 Idk Luca is nasty I think his bag is better
@@PathtoYahawah well KD has better bag than MJ and LeBron but we know they are better. Joker is 2xMVP 1x Finals MVP. And he has ridiculous bag for a bigman.
@@Time4SumAksion021 lol no he does not Embiid has a better bag, heck Jokic won’t even be top 5 best centers ever.
AI is Lukas biggest fan boy 🤣🥰🥰😍
AI knows ball!!
He knows how hard it is to do what Luka does, and make it look EASY!
He saw something when he said hewould like to play with Luka and look at Kyrie who has so happy time playing with Luka.
Commentator is clearly very young. Born 2000's
Narrator sounds like he is talking to children.
he was so dumb to say AI can't defend anyone while being a part of NBA defensive team.. damn
I listen to the guys who PLAYED the game
Not the spectators
4:02 To the skeptical commentator: Iverson could hit threes, and he is so fast and handles the ball so well that he would get to the hoop at will. He averaged 33 points in an era where scoring was really low. With today's pace he would have more opportunities. And if Iverson is wide open he will hit his fair share of threes. Also, Iverson didn't not practice shooting. He visualized the ball going in. Imagine if Iverson worked hours upon hours on shooting especially with the shooting gurus of this era.
The Luka love from AI. Real recognize real bro
has the basketball iq, has good shooting, gets defenders into his own pace, and knows how to use his body/size really well...
you are pretty much describing Jokic too, but with the ring.
The crazy thing is Lucas only 25 years old, but what I wanted to say was it's sad that Allen Iverson hasn't been asked to be part of the 76ers organization!! He should have some type of role in that front office or in just in that organization period!!
He helped build it, right?! So he definitely should, I agree.
Euro ball is the same in Australia. That’s why guys like LeMelo are coming to Australia to play in the National league before their draft year. They get to play against big bodies and get that experience of playing against grown men. Team ball structure. And then they still have the same skills they grew up with at home which they can only add to their game. It’s not a bad apprenticeship before going into the NBA
Triple doubles are celebrated because they are rare………. He averages a triple double 😮
AI and Kobe would’ve adapted to the high volume of 3s in today’s game
Exactly. The rules of the game have shifted the focus towards 3 pointers, away from low-post and mid-range shooting. We're almost taking about two entirely different sports, almost like comparing football in the pre-helmet era to now.
Absolutely. Stats don't tell all the story, they weren't great 3pt shooters because find room to shoot one was already hard back then. I mean,in the early 2000s scoring 30pts was hard as hell and defenders have more room to touch the attacker
Yeah dude was sounding like he never watched bball.... just read stats
Absolutely the highest IQ in the game. Luka has been the MVP for 3 years or more in a row. Almost since his rookie year. Until Wemby, there isn't anyone team that wouldn't sell their souls for "there goes that MAN".
Look, I don't doubt that the prolific scorers back then could get close to 40 in today's game, the reason is simply, people talk about 3 ball, they didn't need 3 ball to get 30 and up they were that good so imagine today's game if the incorporate that 3 ball in their game? and they would go to the line more frequently because less physicality, the rules are geared towards offense. James in his prime averaged 36pts because of the rule, Jordan averaged 37pts because of his skills not because of the rule on mostly 2's so too did Kobe 35pt and Iverson 33pts, if they can do that on mostly 2's where it was harder to get bucket, don't you think it would be easier where there are no defense?
probably would average 40 because it msore ball movement in todays game. And palyers average now 30 minutes a game instead of 35-40 minutes
If it's so easy to play in the nba today why doesn't everybody have a 30pt triple double record or have a 70 pt game?
Everyone isnt taking the necessary shots to get that many points ...im a fan btw and hope he and ky can win this year ...but he has the green light to take as many shots
@@abemickeygaming7742 facts
Why not ask what if
Lmfao
Classics r classics for a reason
AI scoring 40 wouldn’t be a question
@@abemickeygaming7742 Dude, Luka shot 25 of 33 from the field, 8 of 13 from 3-pt range, and went 15 of 16 from the line. Luka had the most efficient 70-point game in NBA history--not even close, and you make it sound like he was just jacking up shots like some selfish clown. Dude, he had a 91.3 true shooting percentage.
The guys from then are old now. That answers your question which is dumb. The people now are just worse basketball players in general they have more moves but are overall worse this is universally said by coach's, scouts, players, etc. the other non visible skills are not developed.
Give AI a bit more credit. He was incredibly fun to watch and needed more support. His game 1 performance against Shaq and Kobe was memorable and he didn't get to the line once in G 2 of that series. Pretty weird.
AI is a goat. Much respect to him and every real ball head knows to show him the upmost respect.
You guys hit it on the money---"Luka has swag". That is the key to his success along with the athleticism. So what if he plays 'like a Black man'? That's a kind remark but irrelevant in the final analysis---he's a human being with the same kind of innate potentialities other humans have.
Considering wilt chamberlain averaged 50 all in the paint I think it’s safe to say 43 for a.i who actually had a jump shot would be easy in this era
AI and Luca would be unstoppable and this pairing with Kyrie is the next best thing. This is a dynasty in the making
Luka made some look foolish in those highlights
9:36 Is huge example of that ;)
4:05 Really my guy? Terrible take to say that a prime AI couldn’t get 10 more points in this era. He’d have more free throws….
In the past year, I’ve gone from liking Luka to really just needing him to shut the hell up. Why has the last two generations of BB players felt the need to scream after every bucket? To quote Vince Lombardi, “…act like you’ve been there before.”
There is a difference between speed and quickness. Explosion with the move is quickness. It is temporary but more important than speed. Speed often takes a few moments to attain. Quickness does not. Luka is not slow in reflex of that moment.
Said it way before Iverson. I said it differently though. Told my boys, sorry but Luka's black lol. He's so good man.
That’s nice and racist of you. I’ve always said, “Iverson is so good, he could be a white boy.”
I would love to see Luka and Bird together. No need for another guard. Just play with 3 forwards, 1 guard and a center.
He's been a pro since he was a teenage that's why
Anyone who has 7 triple doubles in a row is legend
He reminds me so much of James Harden. I hope he does not end like him.
I use to fuck wit harden but he’s a choke artist
There's two types of fans in this situation: Those who know what Iverson's talking about. And those who are pretending that they don't.
IIRC Iverson was actually Big East Defensive Player of the Year twice in college, and led the NBA in steals multiple times. He was too small to defend 2-guards, he wasn't a bad defender.
This guy😂😂😂
This is how you say
" i don't watch basketball, but i read the stats"
Without saying it 😂
What's great about Luka is that he is #2 in the league in assists per game while averaging about 34 points a game. That is insane! This is not to mention he was just under 50% overall FG% with 3s being just under 40%. If not for another Jokic instance season, Luka was easily #2 MVP
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Nothing "black" about the guy or his style. He's just really, really good with a high level of spacial awareness and shooting accuracy. If he reminds you of anyone, it's Bird.
He doesn’t have to shoot 3s, he would be taking a massive amount of shots less contested and more foul shots from the sofT players today.
Luka is a perfect blend of his mom and dad
Get it right Anthony Edwards has a long long way to go before he can carry mjs jock strap
Luka will get a title in June 2024! In 6… there goes the chance of him coming here to the Lakers ! I would trade everyone besides LeBron & AD, including my first round pick for Luka…. Realistically we are gonna get Klay & Draymond from sources
Because there is a huge contingency of NBA players that want European/white players out of the NBA.
STREET BALL VS PROPER BALL
I would say kyrie has an edge when it comes to high bball iq over luka but luka with his iq at such a youmg age is impressive af. Hes obviously only going to get even better
6:07 music is too damn loud I cant even understand him
He’s like Lebron & Larry a hybrid player in the top class
People these days underestimate the midrange shot. You don't need 3's to be a great player, infact all top great players hold records that have nothing to do with 3 point shooting. You go with the higher percentage shot closer to the rim. If a player that is just good at shooting the 3 , if he's cold, he's useless like a turd in a broken toilet.
Glad you mentioned Ivo's inability to shoot the 3
That's how great players work the Incorporated the best of the other player into their play which makes both players great
Luka is as quick as any NBA player. His lateral quickness off the charts. He also has a 44 in. vertical. Racist af to call him slow, esp coming from Shaq.
Luca is the modern-day George gervin
ngl earned a sub
Thank you! I appreciate that!
If he is TOTALLY right, then one can assume he’s also not wrong, and it can go unstated as it is redundant.
Luka plays with his high iq just like Jokic
Luka and Nikola have the same playbook. Luka is different position and a bit smaller so he can move faster. The basic idea of the game is the same.
The reason AI was so good because he did not had Kardashian girls and insta models to drain his bucks and he was 100% focused on the game
1st NBA jersey I have purchased since AI/Jordan days. Yep, Luka is legit hall of fame already. Hopefully he gets that ring this year! Go Mavs!
Luka can thrive now that he has Kyrie. He couldn't do it all by himself
I don't know how anyone could compare JA to Iverson 😂 Best thing about JA is his athleticism. He doesn't really have a jumper and his handles are basic. Don't get me wrong he is fast so he gets it off. The only comparison would have to be Kyrie.
Allen Iverson could cross over any body without carrying the ball players today would be called for traveling half of the time they drive to the Hoop
If Luka is slow, then what are ALL the defenders he is making look foolish?
Many international player seem slow. The fact is they have a more solid grasp of the fundamentals of the game. Being efficient means one does not have to exert as much energy.
Sure they could ,and Iverson would have scored a lot more points if he had a playmaker like him,they only need 3 defensive minded players and perfect
How did he not win MVP 34-9-9 the only thing you could argue is FG% his was 42% but wow
I’m sorry I got the FG% wrong his was almost 49% which is great and he didn’t win MVP
I hope Luka takes the upcoming offseason off and lets his body heal instead of continuing to play in Europe. Likewise, focuses more on his conditioning.
~ What’s wrong with videos like this, the commentator doesn’t know nor understand basketball.
He’s an analytics guy.
Zero context.
Allen Iverson was a spectacular athlete for his size.
He was a scorer, a streaky shooter, but an our unadulterated scorer.
Without the context that A.I played the bulk of his career in the slowest paced, lowest scoring era of the 2000’s and without understanding that the rules allowing for freedom of movement, which allowed guys like Steph Curry (who was often injured, and unable to really grow his early part of his career) to flourish. The rule changes, the gather step, and the floor spacing have made scoring way easier in this era~ now if you’ve been watching closely post All-Star break and the playoffs, with a renewed emphasis on defensive physicality, Luka and the other great scorers aren’t as efficient, they don’t score as easily, with increased resistance.
Those shooting splits have gone down dramatically for many guys.
They still score, but it’s not as easy…
Now add in the context that A.I was amongst the league leaders in scoring in a tougher defensive era with less space, and less freedom of movement…
Sheesh can you imagine A.I. in the High screen and role with a player like Embid… ?
Man,
These analytics guys who break down players games by stats, are actually dumbing down the modern fan especially guys who haven’t actually played ball.
Guys who think they understand the game on a deeper level 😂😂 Nah. They truly don’t understand.
Also,
just for anecdotal evidence.
Look at the 2016 finals when the refs were letting them play and get physical with Steph….
Yeah those shooting splits were pretty bad huh… those logo threes were hitting like they were once the player was worn down physically…..
Look at Jalen Brunson these last two games against Indiana….
Yeah. Having multiple guys press you 94 feet the entire game….
With all that said.
A.I. a former football star THRIVED when teams got physical with him, and his speed alone made him impossible to press 94 feet…
Lastly,
If you’ve ever scene guys like Iverson play in person. You would understand how otherworldly his endurance, speed and quickness were on the basketball court.
Just outrageously fast.
Especially when he was young and still had that bounce.
In a crowded lane, with all those bigs, and limited space. Iverson was able to get to the rim with ease….
The commentator clearly doesn’t how quickness and speed can’t be taught and in basketball terms you add skill and heart…
Trust me. Iverson would’ve killed in this era,
Iverson averaged nearly 7 assists per game ~ while scoring 26.7 per for his career ~
This is why guys who are analytics guys aren’t good GM’s.
My guy Tim Connelly. He’s an old school evaluator. Built the Nuggets and TWolves.
He uses some analytics, but he knows “Hoopers” and guys that can just play ball.
One of the best in he biz right now.
Shoutout to my hometown guy.
Yeah
It’s okay to talk the analytics side.
But to dismiss a player like Iverson and use the stats to justify whether or not he could play in today’s game is simply absurd.
If he understood basketball, and the context of defensive resistance, and pace of the game, he’d know that it would be the other way around, Luka wouldn’t be as good in an era where they enforced the ball handling rules, and allowed defensive physicality, and they called moving screens, and the coaching and emphasis of the game were different.
Young guys like this do a disservice to the game.
Shows a severe lack of history and understanding of the game of basketball.
Analytics are statistics.
Which can be manipulated to fit a narrative. They don’t not give full context. They certainly don’t give room for conclusive judgements on how player performs or would perform under different circumstances.
ERIC SNOW and AI is perfect ... the COOL HEADED SNOW x PURE ENERGY AI
SNOW CANT SHOOT BELOW AVERAGE PASSER AND SOLID DEFENDER. HIS ONLY THING IS AS U MENTION COOL IN SITUATIONS WHERE TEAM NEED WORKER ON FLOOR. HE SERVED AS AN DECOY IN DEFENSE TO PUT PRESSURE SO IVERSON CAN DO THE DEFENSE JOB. REMEMBER IVERSON IS RARE GUY IN HISTORY WHO LED NBA 3X IN SPG
STRATEGY OF LARRY BROWN WAS SIMPLE DONT WASTE IVERSON TOO MUCH KNOWING HE IS BARELY 160 LBS SO LET ERIC SNOW TO PLAY DECOY AS SOON AS ANY GUARD POST UP (INFAMOUS BORING MAGIC JOHNSON STYLE THAT MARK JACKSON USED) ANY GUARD BY TURNING BACK, IVERSON WILL DO THE JOB AND ITS FAST BREAK SCORE PLUS STEAL FOR HIM. REMEMBER THOSE GUARDS IN ERA DIDNT HAD INCREDIBLE BALL HANDLING LIKE TODAY GUARDS, THEY WERE SLOWER OR WEAK WITH LEFT HAND. THEY LITERALLY DARE GUARDS TO TURN BACK LIKE MARK JACKSON BECAUSE THEY KNEW 8 TIMES OF 10 IVERSON WILL CREATE FASTBREAK OR MESS SO UNDER PRESSURE PG EITHER LOSING BALL BY IVERSON STEAL OR THROW BAD PASS THAT LIONG ARM MUTOMBO CAN DEFLECT OR LYNCH TRAFFIC DEFENDER WHO HAD ROLE TO ROAM AROUND.
AI is Kyrie, it would work the same. And kyrie and Luka are VERY similar except Luka is a better passer. That's what the question mark was when they got Kyrie.
And iverson was top of the league most his career, so he can play great D actually on the perimeter, it's more accurate to say he vulnerable in the post ,but he led the league in stills few times and was consistent in that
What I love about Luka, Jokic and even Franz Wagner is these guys are making white guys fall in love with basketball again…Luka & Jokic are slow but heavy and skilled as hell. A swath of videos like this are popping up more and more with the authors of these videos obviously white and pretty much overhyping them and bc they are again, soooo damn skilled the obvious bias is hidden. I get it, but calm down…Anthony Edwards is slaying Jokic and the Nuggets right now, OKC just dropped Luka and the Mavs so take it down a notch but I’m glad that the average white guys are happy. As far as swagger, Luka is European and competitive so the swag factor is there.
Well said. Too much focus on athleticism and dunking by the NBA for years and I got bored. Lacking fundamentals and intelligent play. Jokic and Luka are destroying NBA players because of their intelligence and excellent fundamentals. Can’t do it with just fundamentals or intelligence. Gotta have both to be the 2 best players on the planet. How refreshing watching Jokic win his MVPs and ring last season and watching Luka likely winning a ring this season. No way Luka should have been third in MVP voting. His stats this season have never been done before and blow Shai’s away.
They say they gave it to Shai because he had a better team recited. So what? MJ got an MVP with the 7th best win loss record that season. Kareem won an MVP when his team was 40-42.
He plays like Michael Jordan in slow motion, which shows how much Jordan would obliterate modern NBA.
"The Answer" got the answer.
Luka been playing professionally ball sense he was 13 years old. This is not new to him
Luca is top 5 player in the world ❤
Why expend more energy than necessary to get the job done. Luka has developed a series of moves to the get the defender off balance and out of place. He has good handles for 6'7" and 230. He can take a hit. He's very different.
Please stop comparing players this is just stupid!!!!!! Please STOP!!! MJ is MJ , bIrd is bird!! LUKA is LUKA, EDWARDS is EDWARDS!!!!!!!!
full time scorers usually don't blend one must give way
Luka will be a legend
Bc nobody plays defense but he’s really not slow he chooses what gear to use and that’s how you suppose to play. He still would be good if people knew how to play defense in today’s game but that makes it easier. Now everyone is saying ant man plays like Jordan bc he attacks the rim like Luka and has the ability to shoot but these are fundamentals and todays era don’t even know what they are or haven’t been taught bc they think shooting is all there is. Fundamentals is key and will win everytime
Philly mgmt. let Iverson down plain and simple. Had they teamed him up with someone like Vince Carter, or McGrady at the time, they would've been unstoppable.
In the states the black community think the game is black ....but no game as a colour code ...
AI was fun to watch and it’s too bad he didn’t win more in his carrier. But he was not as smooth and polished as Kyrie is. What they both have in common is the hard-headed character that often make them difficult to deal with.. I have same kind of mixed feelings about AI and Ky, probably because I’m/was a fan of their opponents but I can never deny their greatness on the floor. And he’s right about Luka; he plays with a « black guy » swagger more than any other « pale guy » playing today, which surprises everyone ..
FOR SURE DERANGED. THATS WHY KYRIE NEVER SAW PLAYOFF AND IVERSON CARRY WORST TEAM INTO FINALS WHEE ONLY HIM CAN DRIBBLE OR SHOOT. WHAT IRVING DID IN CAREER? JOIN SUPERTEAMS TO SEE PLAYOFFS NEVER WON 40 GAMES AS AN MAIN STAR OF ANY TEAM.
It’s call IQ AND FUNDAMENTAL
That's not street ball. It's Smart ball.
Not sure if you were insinuating AI couldn't average 40 without shooting 3s ....I think Jordan's 4th year (could be wrong which yr) he averaged 37 points and only shot I think it was like 12 3s the whole yr. AI ain't Jordan but he damn well could score like em
Luka is like if T Mac & J Will had a baby.
Allen iverson is a basketball icon for a reason. 40 a game would be easy for him.
AI get on the court and play Luka
“White Iverson…..I’m swaggin, I’m swaggin…”
There is no freaking way Iverson could score 43 on average a season, if Luka who is a better player haven't done it. In my opinion not even MJ could average 40, that could only happen in the horniest dreams of the hardcore 90's fans (and I am one, so I can tell).
They both for sure could score 30plus, and that's it. The reason is simple, times.have change, coaching, playing, etc and no coach would risk injuring his major star to keep it 40 min in the court to score 40. Also, that wouldn't necessarily ensure winning, and would affect the other's players performance.
Luka, whether US fans want to acknowledge it or not, is at pairs with Kobe as a score, if not better, and of course much s better passer. And as much as hatters have seed the narrative that he sucks at defense, he gets more rebound than Kobe ever did, and get some stills too. That is not to say is a great defensive player, but he's far from.been that bad.
It is good though that Iverson recognizes this kid greatness. By the way, I hope all Luka's hatters enjoyed how he trashed the Clippers badly
Only people who did not see the MJ years do not believe he would average 40 plus in today's game. If more of the fouls were called he would have had that back then.
@@levimcfadden7276 well, you dropped the ball there. I saw MJ, I was born in the late 70s and watched the 90s basketball all the time. MJ is in my opinion the best all times and a natural.score. But sorry, no, there is no way he could average 40 or more a game during a whole season.
There are several players now who are as good a score as MJ was. KD, taller, and a much better shooter. Luka, better footwork, taller and very skilled. Tatum, taller and very talented. Embid, you name it.
I am not saying MJ wouldn't be as good as them, maybe he would. But is a clear evidence on how elite offensive players much better at field goal percentage and threes haven't done it.
And that thing about "if he scored 35, 37 with the handshake, and a more physical NBA, he would average 50" is pure bullshit. Just go and watch the stats on how injuries have increased in modern NBA, due to the players covering much more space.
In today's NBA, to score 40 MJ would need playing almost 40 minutes. That is an injury risk no coach would be willing to take
He’s not slow, dude changes speeds and keeps the defense on their heels. Deceptive, if he was slow he’s be bagging groceries.
Luka & Ant-Man will be teammates, soon
Luka going to the Finals this year.
Luka not in his prime yet. Let's see what everyone saying about him in 5 years and what single digit number he'll be at in everyone's G.O.A.T. conversation 🤔🤔🤔
Iverson was great in the NBA but invisible in international games with team USA and European cups with Besiktas.
The court is smaller!? I had no clue.
Luka my fav player but man got to get in shape
How TF did Luka lead the league in scoring AND assist and finish 3Rd for MVP????? Absolute BS!
Just say it, Luka and Joker make the game look easy and black players can't deal with it
both not great defender and needs ball, but they can have role teammates. so yes they can play together
You obviously do not really know the game. Doubting AI getting 40 just because he doesn't shoot a load of threes is idiotic. Only recently have players started taking a bunch of threes. The game is about more than three pointers.
