I will give you that he may be the GOAT at flopping. It's like he is shot through a cannon at light contact.

That's why the NBA is hard to watch. You don't see the great college players do it.

It was easier to play defense then. You could grab and hold. Not taking away from those guys it’s just easier to slow someone down when you can grab them. It’s no different than it being harder to play corner now than it was 15 years ago.

Yep, and it's easier to sell a flop these days because of it.

How can you compare framing a pitch to BLATANT flopping? “Selling” a charge is the close to framing a pitch but jumping a quarter the way across the court is being soft and he looks like a soccer player and a fool. Gtfo with that

Edit: not sure how I did that to the title

Youre just doing a play on words. Either way your purposely selling something. Selling a strike, hold call, foul etc. it’s all the same.

So you admit that Jordan starred in an era when defenses were enabled...therefore much more difficult?

Bogdanovich opens the wrong way on the back door and leads to a layup. Something that you learn in HS ball.

It’s the little things that make a difference.

Of course. You can’t deny that. To me Jordan and Lebron are 1a and 1b and no one else is even close to them. I would rather have Lebron over Jordan just Bc i think you can build a better team around Lebron than Jordan.

However i will say i don’t think playoff basketball today is that much different than then. They actually let players get away with grabbing and contact. Don’t know why they don’t do that all the time.

Do you even actually watch the NBA? Because anyone that does can tell you it’s a totally different game playoffs vs regular season. The game is officiated different. We’re not building a rocket here.

It is somewhat, but the stars still get the flop calls. It isn't that much different that it is significant.

I probably watch more NBA than you do man. Yes it’s a different game playoffs to reg season but don’t sit here and make Lebron to be god in playoffs. It’s not near as physical in 2018 as it was in late 80s and 90s. Don’t even try to act like it

It’s gamesmanship. It’s no different than framing pitches in baseball or a defensive lineman throwing his hands up looking for a holding call.

It’s also harder to play defense now because you cant grab and hold guys before.

OMG please don't... just stop.

Just another example of Lebron being a Va-jj. If you are that good, then why do you have to flop like a 'ussy? Just play.
