In response to "He hasn't played long enough to be the GOAT of anything. He's amazing from behind the arc but that's where it ends right now." by Krusty

This soft league is such a big help for him. It's a different game today that allows him to dominate the way he is right now.

In the 80s and 90s he'd have gotten his ass kicked so much there's little chance he'd be healthy enough to stay on the court. With his skinny frame they'd have him getting banged around all game and come the 4th quarter he'd have no legs left to shoot a 2 footer, let along a 22 footer. By the end of the season he'd be drained and needing rest if not a doctor.

Given Birds back gave out at 33, I am fine with the game being softer., aka less thuggish. You wanna hand check him 35 feet out go ahead. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 05:39
I don't know. It's not like he hangs out under the basket, he's 30-40 feet away how would they be able to kick his ass? -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 05:35 2
- He does drive to the basket pretty often and those would end up with him on his back and every screen would be painful. - Krusty Feb 28, 05:39 1
  - NBA guys like each other too much these days. They've known and played with each other for years starting when they were kids. - Krusty Feb 28, 05:42
