The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[frshstunna]

Steph is not generational physically but his skill and play style is ..Every couple years we get somebody coming in the draft that’s “the next Steph” but it doesn’t even come close …That dude is special, it’s alotta 6’2 dudes that can shoot but is nothing like yo

It's a terrible job until otherwise because you don't know who's in charge and the owner can go over your head at any time.

Aka a job that’s built for a Black dude to roll the dice and take

Who is this? And do they have any kind of track record of accuracy in these kind of things?

Since when is being generational limited to physical gifts? It’s about their talent being one that we won’t see something similar to for years. Gilbert engagement farms with the best of them

Thats what im saying, it depends whats your definition of generational. Maybe to some people its just someone who has a freakish body with skills to match.

It is, but also going to provide another thing for people to comment on if he doesn't deliver.

Steph, Kyrie, and AI

What makes Kyrie generational?

So that definition would seem to exclude MJ, Magic and Bird. They all have body types that are not freakish by NBA standards.

A1 and Kyrie went 1st overall at 6’2” and under for a reason…

Not necessarily saying generational. I agree with Gilbert SOMEWHAT

BUT Steph had a GENERATIONAL jumpshot at Davidson. Like someone said, he had a generational skill. Body? No.

Guys like KD, Lebron, Shaq had the generational look off the rip

No one at those heights are going 1st overall if they aren’t superrrrr special

 

[polosanddunks]

Damn I remember when Harden went 2-11, 6 turnovers and fouled out with better squads then Luka. Never made it to the finals too

Well Jordan definitely had freakish athleticism and (super #) his hand size for his position was freakish.

Magic's height at his position coupled with his elite skill made him a generational talent.

The original convo was a bit unclear but I think generational talent is something that should be given to someone AFTER they have shown they ARE in fact a generational talent.

Folks can't get that label based on just physical attributes. It's based on production first and foremost.

So Steph is without a doubt GENERATIONAL. ( QU!K )

I wish I could eliminate bag and generational from basketball lexicon.

Well that would classify Gerald Green and JR Smith as generational.

They both were elite athletes with skills that matched. What they lacked was consistency and the IQ to match. But we know neither were nowhere near generational based on any definition.

 

[Nipsey3000]

gnerational is a strong word and is quite over used...just like "elite"

 

[ballinsam23]

Plenty of elite players.

Only about a handful are generational.
