Are you sure Lamelo isn’t just a souped up Michael Carter Williams?

I have an agenda to fulfill.
that's embarrassing. Just at his position alone I can name multiple dudes that would have lit Ant up from the past 35 years:

Penny, Spree, Vince, Clyde, AI, Allan Houston, Mitch Richmond, Ray Allen off the top of my head and those are just the bigger names. Eddie Jones was a bad man. Jerry Stackhouse would drop buckets on you and beat your ass if you got outta pocket. Jimmy Jackson was another one too.
Crazy, but I guess that's just how things go. Someone will be calling LeBron and Carmelo bums 25 years from now

It’s weird because the more I learn about Ant the more they seem like he has no mentors, and that has made him naive about…. Everything. Though to be fair the older generations aren’t obliged to help. Back in the day an older player like Magic, Zeke, or KG might have taken Ant aside and schooled him on his history. Now everyone feels compelled to check him and just say “watch youtube” completely ignoring YouTube annd the internet as a whole lacks context. Plus, I bet if a player did try to take him aside to mentor him he would mention them in a commercial about haters.
Social media and clout chasing makes it hard to have a real conversation when that conversation might get leaked out of context. So you got guys talking about this to promote their brand instead of reaching out.
Ant has all the information at his finger tips but clearly does not “dig in the crates” when it comes to finding information and hates to be called out on not knowing stuff. He is slowly going from Naive to proud to be ignorant, and I don’t know if anything will change.
The worst part is he is basically saying something similar to what JJ Reddick said but it’s demonized more because more people are around to call it nonsense. This theme of disrespect of older players has been going on for a few years. Ant just is being made the face for it cause it’s the most recent example.

I was going to mention that Reddick did something similar and wildly disrespectful and he got checked by Jerry West over it before he passed. He should have known better.
I look at it as a generational thing. I just feel like players from the past had more of an appreciation for those that came before them and studied the game outside of their era. Ant doesn't seem like he's much of a student of the game if he thinks guys that came before him had no skill. Oscar Robertson? Kareem? Isiah? Bird? Magic?

I think part of that is due to the availability of information for players these days. Older players had no where to look to besides old game footage of known great players. Then they studied them to get better. That forced them to appreciate players of the past.
Now, you can go on youtube and there are millions of different coaches, some of which are known player development coaches of professional players. That makes it so these players don't need to dissect a bunch of old game videos to figure out why x player is using y move since a coach is already telling them why it works and how to practice it.
