Nailed it

I feel like I remember 80% of these from watching Sportscenter

You are so so right

It is amazing, I remember all these plays like it was yesterday

He’s a major part of 3 different dynasties pretty crazy

Brandon Roy was an amazing player and in my opinion one of the greatest "what if" of the NBA. I remember being hyped as fuck when he was announced to play for the Wolves with Rubio and Kevin Love (even though he was already plagued with injuries at that time). He played like 3 games and got the last injury on the knee that ended his career. I also read that much later he got shot when shielding a kid from a shooting. Mad respect for that man.

Nah, definitely the peak of defense in the nba but skill has never been higher than it is today. What the game lacks today is the same sort of artistry the older generations have. Some of the best players still have the artistry (namely kyrie, steph, Luka, Joker, etc) but there is little artistry amongst the role players these days. They play rather robotically because they are expected to do a very specific role, there havent been many jason williams or Rafer Alston type role players that play with flavor lol now, there's a good reason for that: it's not the most efficient playing style. But boy was it incredible to watch lol I think we are seeing a little more flavor in the game now than we have in the last 15 years or so but it's still nothing like the early-mid 00s.

@@DeadSezSo skill of 2020s since Wemby, 2010s was soft and easy cause there were not centers

That’s an absolute lie. 00s is notorious for their lack of offense.

@@alphatrusbensiii8381 BS. Kobe. Tim. Nash. Lebron. there were just some amazing defensive teams making noise just on their D alone like the pistons.

@@Cristian-vm1bg you named 4 players out of 30 teams

SWEAR 💯💯

I mean I think so. I could be wrong about this but I think players then had better basketball IQ and awareness. Where these days and even in the 2010’s it’s all about who has the nicest dunk, back in the 2000’s you had all these nice passes and blocks

@@spacehead4725 tbh kyries top 10 alone could probably trump the 2000s highlights

I think the game has expanded and gotten much more better. Faster stronger athletes. Fundamentals from some American players are lacking though

@@Antbeast23 agree sometimes they make unnecessary moves wherein they could probably just pull up for the shot. Ultimately if a game was set between the 2020s vs the 2000s. It could probably be a draw. imagine players in the 2000s were like mini jokic and lukas

thats what i said, roy might be top 3 what if with penny & grant

That clip is from 02-03 season when shaq had a strained ligament in his toe and came in to training camp 50lbs overweight. Orlando or early Laker shaq would dominate just fine but still get killed on defense in the pick and roll

Bro go to bed. Shaq was injured and out of shape.Prime Shaq would dominate in ANY era

Baron Davis dunked on Garnett. NASTY

Yes what is ur point?

@@sebastiantomaszewski4493 there is none. It’s an observation.

Stop hating lmao it was a good play

How is Iverson hitting a baseline jumper ahead of Wade blocking Amare then hitting a halfcourt shot, Vince Carter’s dunk over Zo, Horry & Fisher’s game winners, or Mcgrady’s comeback vs the Spurs? It’s just geigh fanboys opinions, unwarranted plays being hyped up for no reason. Iverson’s jumper was just another ordinary play, get over it

The Iverson play wasn’t even a big deal when it happened. No one cared, it only became popular a decade later through social media. It wasn’t a game winning play and they got smoked in the Finals, so why would it be considered the best play of the decade?

@@TheBest0704 lmao I just said it was a good play didn't have it ranked anywhere 😂😂
