 Basketball is gone, because Rudy Gobert rubbed his cloaca all over the rest of the league. I miss it dearly, so I've turned to the annals of history to find new (old) guys to stan, George Gervin loving ruled, he was an unrepetentant chucker who was to finger roll layups what Kareem was to the skyhook. Remarkably durable despite his physique (skinnier KD) and habits, Gervin won four scoring titles leading a high-octane Spurs offense featuring many powerful afros and helped prove that the ABA teams could play just as well as their NBA counterparts post-merger.    In many ways, the late 70s Spurs were prototypes for the current Houston Rockets- regular season dominance, reliance on a two guard who didn't pass or play defense, lack of playoff success; the major difference was that Gervin's finger rolls were much more aesthetically pleasing than Harden's foul-drawing rolls on the ground. I encourage everyone to join me in watching oldass basketball and developing powerful new takes; we can't let our posting muscles atrophy in this ball-less era. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EjHZJL6Jj8 creamcorn fucked around with this message at 18:21 on May 1, 2020 |

as a wilt and kareem stan, i have to weigh in on this debate. wilt was a much better athlete (although prime kareem was insanely athletic; people forget that, because they remember 80 year old late showtime kareem trundling down the court while the other 4 actually ran the break.) wilt was probably a better player overall, but he was limited by his fear of killing the unathletic janitors he played most of his career if he was going full strength. kareem had a better career, and was significantly cooler as a person. kareem was pretty much the anti-jordan; completely unendorsable due to his religion and aspergers, but if you read his writing or watch him speak he comes across as a fundamentally decent human being with very strong moral principles. him boycotting the olympics alone puts him levels above jordan. if wilt played in the 90s and got to play full-strength like shaq did he would have been the most dominant player of all time though, he was so loving big/fast/skilled. this also would have applied if he had been brave enough to shoot free throws underhanded. i really would love a wilt documentary, the paul bunyan stories about him are probably some of the most entertaining basketball poo poo around.

Zogo posted:Five more for each of those earlier decades: bro how the gently caress do you have bailey howell on your 60s list over elgin baylor? one season in the 60s under 24ppg, howell literally never broke 24ppg. howell was more efficient, but baylor was taking significantly more difficult shots unless howell was pioneering the stretch big position. creamcorn fucked around with this message at 05:49 on May 19, 2020 |

Zogo posted:
i mean judging elgin based on his last year is like judging shaq based on his cavs year, he was old and had no knees at that point. baylor was a relentless chucker, he was definitely the proto-kobe (except better as a human being), but he still scored a metric shitload of points; volume does matter when you're judging scorers if dude is averaging like ten/fifteen more points a game in his prime.
