One of the reasons I fell in love with basketball was watching those type of offenses being ran in the NBA, was literally art, poetry in motion.

@@nelsondendomo6687I’d argue just lazy. These guys don’t take every game out of 82 seriously anymore. They can score without using that kind of energy and commitment to a system so they don’t but they can run a more unified offense and get to those plays while sprinkling in other guys some really good shots to make those go-to plays even more effective and just have a more unstoppable offense. Guys just don’t wanna be in that kind of shape and play a true 5 man system knowing they can let their #1 drop 30-40 points and do enough to win enough games to get into the tournament. Not like teams value the game 7 home court advantage as much as say the NFL one and done playoff style

"Back when you played" COLD vs. OLD. :D

NBA players are often playing for themselves, rather than their team. Even on the world stage, USA players are often worried about perception and endorsements. When Kobe ‘sacrificed’ to only play defensively he was celebrated like it was amazing. That’s what EVERY international player is doing for their country.

@darren2329

4 ай бұрын

But NO international player (outside of the US) in the history of basketball had Kobe's offensive prowess. Nobody. That's what made it respectable when he played lockdown defense and let the younger guys score.

Great video 🔥🔥

Austin claims the same than other players: FIBA basketball is more physical. When you see NBA players incapable to replicate against good international teams those amazing deep threes, super iso or breath taking step backs, remember how much rules can shape a player. And I would go further: there was a time when NBA was more physical and defensive than FIBA (end 90s).

Michael and Kobe with triangle offense are the most perfect examples of having an offense structure outside of just putting the ball in best players hands. Of course when it came down to it they would take over when needed, but they are proof it works. Phil does not get enough credit for implementing the triangle offense.

I think it's because there was more whistles for the illegal screens and majority of the time those illegal moving screens are off ball so they got away with it a lot and other coaches started telling the refs to watch it more and that's why gsw doesn't have the same offense because of all the whistles they were getting because of it. Sorry but having two of the greatest shooters in NBA history was the reason their offense and that team was so great. Add in when KD was there they literally had 3 of the best shooters ever to play in the NBA.

Correction Austin you are suppose to be here. Your Sr. High in high school we played your Cedar Ridge Timberwolves 1st round high school Arkansas state tournament. We had 59 pts as a team. You had 59 pts by yourself. Without a doubt thought you were baby Jesus on the court. You crossed over my cousin at the free throw line and went an dunked. 😂😂😂

Some of these comments critiquing Ant overlook his unwavering mentality/confidence, as AR pointed out. The stats get him in the convo, taking over some games and his team being top keep his name buzzing, but the respect his peers and fans give him likely have to do with how he doesn't falter. Imo that's also where the (wild and not my own) MJ comparisons come from; doesn't back down.

The FIBA type play, continuous action offense etc, wouldn't work in the NBA because they play 80-100 games a year and 8 more minutes per game than FIBA. If they balance the workload for the players a bit more, I think they'll become more open to the idea of that type of game play.

I still don't get why players in NBA today averages 35+ mpg when u have a 15 man roster. The most any player should be averaging is 30mpg. Teams should have at least 9 man rotation. And rotate bench players to use the full squad. I guarantee you injuries will drop and you will get high quality team basketball. The new NBA favors, to an overwhelming extent, individual play.

The triangle offense won 11 championships and had some of the most dominant 1x1 players. It can be adopted today. New Jersey with Kidd ran the Princeton offense and went to 2 finals. The pistons with Larry brown did the same thing and had one of the least talented teams win the nba championship. The kings with Webber ran a motion offense. It can be done.

Mikal and cam. Miss these goons.

I like this channel a ton but the title mentioned Anthony Edwards and I had to sit through the first seven minutes before he was even mentioned and they talked about him for less than two minutes.
