When you know the opposition is going to foul in the closing seconds, why the hell would you have a 57% free-throw shooter on the floor?

I'm guessing NBA players will never learn how foolish it is to contest Wemby's jumper. Oh well

@GDMLosB We know the fact is there was no resistance for that shot

1968 Final Four. UCLA with the blowout of Houston. More importantly, this photo is basketball art. And you want to talk about skill ? That skyhook is one helluva skill. That’s just a basketball truth.

@desm0ndbane But most humans don’t realize how poor the fundamentals, the IQ and intellectual awareness there is on defense. It’s really pathetic. That’s a basketball truth.

@MarkAGunnels The GOAT debate. The dumbest, most monotonous and childish debate of all time.

@CaverNolema And I’m guessing Kevin Willis has a far superior post game to so many of the bigs in the game today

@arhooptalk For some reason he stepped outside the 3 point line and started taking shots. I don't remember how many, but he made a bunch in a row. I don't think he ever attempted one during a game, because it wasn't his role. I guess that means he wasn't as good as some dude playing now.

@DeanO_Lytics To this day when I play pickup ball in NYC, I’m the only guy on the court setting off ball screens

I don't understand teams that don't like ball screens. Why take a weapon away? Some players are better, some are worse at it, but it's useful. When I see possessions that go nowhere because guys get the ball and iso, I wonder what they're doing. Picks force decisions on D.

@arhooptalk No longer the same game, the NBA parody video was spot on target, traveling double dribble self passes common in the current NBA

@StephenGHoops I actually think that wasn’t fair of Carlos to say that. Duncan, as you know was taller and more athletic

@Troy50542659 Totally agree. They think KAT is so skilled because he can shoot the three, but he can’t carry the jock of someone like Patrick Ewing.

@arhooptalk This era thinks if a player can shoot threes they are “better” players, even though they aren’t dominant at anything just good at a bunch of stuff! Would Sam Perkins be a dominant force in today’s league ??? Jack Sikma? Bill Laumbeer?

@ZahlHenrik I don’t need this one take to know that the NBA has the dumbest fan base. The daily GOAT debate here also shows how childish and low level the discourse can be

@arhooptalk You could say the same about oñd gens not knowing todays ball. Additionally dont generalize one take you see on twitter as a representation of twitter. Everyone knows how dominant kareem was in college and the league

@sergiodelgado He absolutely is and it’s not a criticism of him if someone thinks KAJ was better at the same age. Just so many babies here who are player worshippers

@arhooptalk Its kinda like a dumb argument anyways. What matters is how Wemby ends his career. So what if he was better than Kareem at 22? Will he have the scoring record? The Chips? The All Star apps? Clutch moments? etc... He's doing great so far though.
