He just isn't clutch.

Someone should start the thread "Players never seem to score 60 in a game anymore..."

Literally every post you make is a subtle jab at modern basketball and a verbal fellatio of the "good ole' days" of the 90's. I can't go into one thread without seeing you bring up the weaknesses of this era or how x modern player would never survive in the 90's or how x 90's player is leaps and bounds ahead of x modern player. Your act is tired, desperate, and most importantly annoying.bledredwine wrote:King d wrote:
You making it sound like averaging +20 ppg was something easy nowadays. Did you know only 11 players are doing it this year?
LMA has been one of the most consistent elite scorers in the league for the last 3 years
Only 11 people are doing it this year because our superstars suck at scoring compared to the 2000s with shaw t-mac etc. and especially the 90s
like it's easy "nowadays"
Are you trying to imply that for some reason, it's harder? Are you implying that Lamarcus Aldridge would average 25 in the 90s? Are you implying that the top 15 stars now are awesome? The reason why there's only 11 people averaging that is because our superstars do not compare... it's been on a steady decline for years now and players aren't forced to learn an effective post-game like they had to when defenses were tough.
Dude, in terms of scoring, we are in a particularly weak era. That's just the way it is. You can't argue for this era because Kobe is STILL a top scorer in the league.....
Jrue Holiday is a top 15 scorer this last year. So was Brandon Jennings. WTF?? P.P. KG are still relevant and desired as player in old old age, Dirk just won a championship.... you can't say it's hard to score nowadays, esp. since the rule changes in 1999-2001 caused perimeter scoring to shoot up.
Jordan, Malone, Barkley, Ewing, Olajuwon, Shaq, Kemp, Drexler, Robinson, Pippen, Miller, Mourning, Hill, T. Hardaway, Ritchmond, Mullin... the 90s were frickin stacked with talented, finess scorers.
These guys were ALL better scorers than LMA with the exception of maybe Pippen. How many of them during seasons of barely averaging 20, had 50 point games?
LMA can't score 50 points without multiple overtimes. Quote me on that, sig it, do whatever.
There, I said it.
