Which player in the NBA benefitted most from handcheck era? Which player do you think would not be nearly as good if he played pre handcheck era. How would that persons stats reflect?

1992-1995 New York Knicks

[Rupert Murdoch]

Steve Nash- He started to play at a MVP level after the handchecking rules were put in place.
Rajon Rondo
Tony Parker
Derrick Rose
Dwyane Wade

Pretty much any of the quick small guards in the league who love to drive. They won't be able to just use their speed to blow by people. They'd have a hand on them to prevent driving.

Like the post above me said, guys like Rose and Parker and Wall would take a hit.

Everyone that didn't know proper defensive fundamentals which was 90% of guys before the mid 90's benefitted from handchecking. Handchecking would hurt some guys a little today but its really the defensive 3 second rule that allows more speedy guards to dominate.

Derek Harper

100% this.

[prophet_of_rage]

Handchecking extended Derek Harper's career by 3-4 years.

[Foye]

Trenton Hassell. Hard nosed defender with handchecking. Afterwards just half as good.

Luke Walton & Richard Jefferson

Steve Nash- He started to play at a MVP level after the handchecking rules were put in place.
Rajon Rondo
Tony Parker
Derrick Rose
Dwyane Wade

He meant before the rule came about.

I remember Pippen saying on the record that he wouldnt have been a good defender with todays rules
