Old school hoops is the best to watch...can't beat the Pistol

Pistol Pete had moves at LSU that most would still kill for today. Rafer Alston pulled that fake behind the back agaisnt the Knicks and everyone went crazy because it was Skip To My Lou. Marovich pulled controlled the break with better ball handling skills then anyone in history. I would kill to see him play in college today.

But today's game of basketball is great. I know everyone has affection for the old school but the players today are so ridiculously good that it's not even funny. Look at Joe Johnson in Atlanta, he has been electric these playoffs and imagine if Pheonix had him, he looks like one of the best players in the game. I know Paul and Howard get the headlines but Johnson is right there in the break out star category.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=vhGeQWOHwHQCheck out those drives to the lane, he is slicing through the defense in the paint with 4 other guys against the best defensive team in basketball and he's tearing them up. I don't know why they don't run more isos with Johnson because there is no single player that can guard him if he has that mid range jumpshot working. Hopefully tonight they will cut out the high ball screens that just don't work versus Boston because they can defend from the inside out and give him the top of the court to himself, spread it out watch him work his magic. And check out that crossover, nasty.

And of course Lebron James the must watch of all must watches in the sports world. When he puts his mind to it, his shoulder down going to the rim he is one of the greatest players ever to step on a court. And pair that with the fact that he can dribble short and hit a jumper from anywhere over anyone is ridiculous. Kobe is the best player in the game but when he is in the zone, nobody is better or more exciting then Lebron.

That was the single greatest take over I have ever seen in any sport. Had to get a broom and dustpan to pick my jaw up off the floor when he decided to do that. Unbelievable I wish I could transcribe that commentary onto my fist and plant it on the nose of Skip Bayless who talks down on Lebron every chance he gets.

Oh there are great players today but I just can't follow the NBA anymore....it's not the same without Jordan, Barkley, Malone, Bird, Johnson, etc.


It's said that after someone tracked Marovich's shots and he averaged 44.5 points a game for 3 years at LSU well that was without a 3-point line and if he had one he would have averaged 57 points a game because they say he averaged 12 made FG's from 3-point distance

While those players had star power and personality, I think the talent pool is constantly getting better in the NBA and I'd say the level at which the game is being played now is greater then it was in the 80's or 90's. And I've tried to watch as much basketball from the past as I can, even downloaded the entire 70 win Chicago Bulls season recently and watched almost all of it.

I think Lebron, Kobe, Garnett, Paul, Howard, Nash, Dirk, Derron Williams, McGrady, Baron ect. I would pit that against any talent pool and take my chances. Maybe not the dominating star power of the Showtime Lakers or the Bad Boys but a great era right now no doubt.

But the point guard is a timeless position in sports and most every great point guard in the history of the sport will have been a great point guard in no matter what era they played. There are some great Pistol Pete documentaries out there.

The 1992 ORIGINAL Dream Team is the greatest team ever created in the history of SPORT....not just basketball but SPORT...it doesn't matter what sport it's just the greatest talent ever assembled it was like the freaking Justice League of sport

• Charles Barkley of the Phoenix Suns
• Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics
• Clyde Drexler of the Portland Trail Blazers
• Patrick Ewing of the New York Knicks
• Earvin "Magic" Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers
• Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls
• Christian Laettner of Duke University
• Karl Malone of the Utah Jazz
• Chris Mullin of the Golden State Warriors
• Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls
• David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs
• John Stockton of the Utah Jazz

Coach: Chuck Daly of the Detroit Pistons[8]
The only players not named on the NBA's 50 Greatest list were Laettner and Mullin.

The closest game they had was 117-85 vs Croatia.

OK, now the Dream Team was amazing for a couple reasons. Firstly, international basketball was at nowhere near the level of the USA and most professional European players didn't compete. They had no competition but were the greatest team ever assembled imo.

However, when you look at all those players individually and they by no means blow away the talent there is today. Take the Dream Team, and tell me they are more talented then any players of today. Off talent not accomplishments, I think today stacks up just as well.

At power forward, I would take Garnett over Barkley. Better defensively, grabs just as many rebounds and scores more with range all the way back to the three point line.

Bird I will give you there is no better shot ever in basketball and at the 3 spot there is no better spot shooter in the NBA today. Give him a spot to the court, he'll stop on it and make a shot. Nobody in basketball possesses that today.

Drexler, Lebron. It's a simple choice, Lebron is essentially Clyde Drexler they are the same build at the 2 guard but obviously the advantage is Lebron. He could be the most talented player in the history of basketball. Go a little deeper, Tracy McGrady has to be mentioned as greater also.

Dwight Howard at center is going to be one of the best centers in the history of basketball imo and in the same breath as Ewing in terms of accomplishments. The most athletic center there has ever been along with Stoudamire. Garnett played center sometimes in Minnesota and was in the breath to.

Magic and Michael, Kobe and Lebron. It's like splitting hairs really. All are clearly the best players on the court at all times, all are just so far head and shoulders above the rest that it's hard to compare. Obviously Magic and Michael accomplished quadruple what both of these two combined have done but they both have time. I would love to see this 2 on 2, it's splitting hairs though they are maybe the 4 best players in the history of basketball in terms of talent at the shooting guard position with both Magic and Lebron essentially running their teams point guard position. Not as much for Lebron but he might as well be the teams point guard and pretty much is in the playoffs.

After that, look at the great point guards today Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, Tony Parker all are great. I would take Paul over any point guard in NBA history if I had to pick them as rookies.
