I'm in agreement with added wins stat. However leave the assist and point portion out of it.

Game has changed a lot since the 80s and 90s. Fast breaks and playing fast weren't things every team could do. Only a handful you also didn't have 8 sec half court violation.

Anyones stats today are going to look better then in the past. Ie klay Thompson 27 point quarter vs gervin 26.

Stockton was a great player but never had to shoulder a scoring load like curry does he played alongside the greatest scoring pf ever.

Also no way steph survived the 80s and 90s. Great shooter but his handle would have to change. Rules were more strict back then. Moving screens got called lol

Rules where more WHAT back then?

Guys we’re getting intentionally clothes lined and often not picking up a tech for that. Definitely not getting ejected.

You were literally allowed to throw punches in the 80’s and not get ejected.

Hand checking was allowed. Gotta acknowledge the impact of that.

Look at the game scores from the 80’s.

And Steph’s handle? It would be elite in any era, I can’t believe you said it would have to change. For what???

Also did you cite a 1 point difference as proof of eras being different? They are different but that’s a horrible example. Scoring in the 80’s was as high/higher than it is today, but the way the points were scored was different. Coaching philosophies were different.

And basically every team in the 80’s was playing fast and not shooting 3’s.

one thing opponents always say he struggle with is the warriors pacing. its always changing. look at how dray was pushing the ball in the last two games. he decided to that on his own clearly cuz nobody else pushed with him. and it was killing the blazers.

years ago when the warriors became THE warriors they were outrunning everyone. fast breaks nonstop. now the league adjusted, so their pace is changing by the quarter.

gotta say i do enjoy the faster pace though a la older warriors, lebron era heat
 
Kenny Smith wife coming for all his TNT bread :smh:


"The divorce between “Inside the NBA” host Kenny Smith and his model ex-wife has turned nasty after she filed documents with the court to garnish his TV wages to pay his back support. According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Gwendolyn Osbourne is going after the money Kenny Smith makes from Turner Sports because she is owed money for both spousal and child support. Osbourne wants to collect $16,562 a month for child support and another $28,898 a month for spousal support"

According to our sources, Gwendolyn wanted to handle this matter privately but she felt forced to take this action because she did not feel like she was being heard. We’re told she feels she is acting on behalf of all women who are not being heard."

So for the ******* that need to be heard, they need more money for spousal support than they need for child support, very interesting.....
 
Two clowns involved in this.

Nah, Broussard was trying to act like he was buddy buddy with KD by saying he had his number and they talked all the time about ****.

Anytime I see Broussard say something is going to happen, I can almost bank on the exact opposite happening. This man is never right about anything. How he has a job is baffling
