Message: [QUOTE="Mr. French, post: 3556294, member: 2292"] Great example. And if you watch him play, I don't get how you come away saying "he's not athletic enough to be as good as" ... who? Derrick Williams of AZ fame? Kelly Oubre? That's exactly my point. Another one I always think of is Jerry West. I'm way too young to have watched him live, but I'm positive Jerry West is a stud shooting guard in basically any era. I don't care if every SG in the league right now is, by combine standards, "more athletic." Dude would be a killer regardless. Maybe me being a crafty, not ripped and can't jump lefty who could shoot and get buckets has me in my feelings, but really it's always just been a pet peeve of mine. I talk to kids I coached in HS and they act like a guy in the 90s had zero chance in today's game, it's quite baffling ... it wasn't THAT long ago, how much do you think athleticism changes in mankind over 30 years?!?!
