@@amg.4195 LMAO, true story-I'm from NC; same town as Worthy and eric Floyd (Gastonia)in 77 i went to oak hill academy in VA. and found myself confronted by five players from NYC AND THOUGHT: " who the hell plays ball in NYC? hahahaha! of course I had heard of aqnd watched Julius, but didn't know jack about Rucker park, I was at school and to say I got schooled is a massive understatement - it lit that perpetual fire though and by the time i was 20 i was the Baddest white boy in town and had real game then gave my life to Jesus at 24 and quit playing cause I knew thye Lord didn't want me fighting all the time, and in the 80's if you was playing you were fighting- at Least I was! who plays ball in NYC? I had no idea how ignorant I was on the subject; but I got woke. hahaha, SO LMBO.

Bruh.....THATS Powerful. Props to you!

Did u ever get to dunk ?

Dr J, Schmidt, then Randall

@@paula-yr7pp(even though I was right handed) I stretched my left hand so I could palm a Basketball like a grapefruit..... increased my vertical to 39 1/2"..... and could dunk a Basketball anyway I wanted. Two hands, one hand, off two feet, one foot, off the glass, bounce off the floor, alley oops... was fun jumping without the ball because you could jump higher. Couldn't shoot squat from outside 15 feet.... my game was down low or the open court, worked on ball fakes, footwork, explosiveness, and shooting with both hands. At 6 ft.... had to utilize my head and jumping ability. Again.....Julius "Dr. J" Erving was my inspiration.

Getting old may stink but it beats the one alternative!

That’s some nostalgia right there. Yes carrying is more common, but nobody from old times can handle the ball like Steph or Kyrie.

​@@hanaf1231 - There were a notable number of good handlers in the NBA back in the days. The difference is a lot of the stuff players have gotten away with over the past 25 years got called back in the day. Rules have been relaxed in the name of entertainment, because as for those who were old enough to witness games from back in the 70's and even early to mid-80's, there were a lot more stoppages of play due to traveling/palming/carrying calls. Even the current day European leagues have gone to relaxed officiating as a means of preparing potential NBA or U.S. lower tier pro team bound players for that style of competition.

@@thespadestable I don’t disagree with you overall, but I still don’t think the old NBA players could keep up. I mean those guys literally had other jobs and mostly grew up playing on local courts. Guys today live in the gym, travel all over to play the best competition, have specialized trainers as early as Middle School, and are just so much better. Of course if you took the best guys from the 60s and let them develop in the modern world, I think they’d still be great, but watching their highlights it’s not just rule changes that makes the difference. They can’t shoot, dribble or do anything on the level of the modern guys. This goes for just about any sport. IMO since it’s obviously a “just for laughs” discussion since it’s impossible to prove.

@@hanaf1231 - I guess you don't realize there were no 3 point line back in the 60's, so players did not practice shooting 22 feet from the rim, because no matter what you shot it was only 2 points. Also, based on video analysis it's been determined players like Pete Maravich, Jerry West, Nate Archibald, John Havlicek alone would have ended their careers with much higher career points had there been a 3 point line, because they were already scoring from at or near 22 foot distances, and scoring. At the end of the day, you take away the relaxed rules that favor offensive players (i.e. increase scoring) you would see a much different game that's being played now. Besides the relaxed rules when it comes to traveling and carrying, over the past few years, players have gotten away with basically stiff arming their way past defender. A move what was totally illegal just 10 years ago. If anything, the relaxed rules shows that the Black players lacked the fundamentals of basketball, so the league had to allow "streetball" antics to allow them to perform as professional basketball players.

@@thespadestable I’m old enough to have grown up watching the NBA with no three point line, at least until Middle School years. Average free throw percentage is higher now than it was in the 60s - barely higher, but higher. Your weird statement about black people makes your perspective clear dude. Michael Jordan and Lebron James would have dominated in any era.

🤣 🙌 lookin ass.

Heck yeah hahaha
