    Default Anyone here into Basketball (NBA)?

    I've been getting into it the past couple of weeks - I've always kinda liked it but never really known much about it outside of Jorands Bulls in the 90's and Shaq & Kobe.

    Now that I actually understand the rules and positions, I've actually really taken gained an appreciation of the sport. Really enjoying the play-offs. Think OKC might take it all the way

    Younger generation enjoy it and my son plays it but not really a fan. Football is just the best.

    I used to care about basketball back when it was good....I suppose it's come back a bit since there was a little lull in talent. The 1980's and 1990's were the Golden Era of hoops IMO....the 1992 and 1996 Dream Teams were quite possibly the best teams ever assembled in the history of all sport.

    What about Magic Johnson and the Bird era?

    Yeah like I said "The 1980's and 1990's were the Golden Era of hoops IMO"

    Magic Johnson 1979–1996 and Larry Bird 1979–1992

    That was about the extent of my knowledge and thought it was the 70's.

    It seems the 80' and 90's was the peak of boxing too.

    The 80's and 90's were great for hockey too...and the NFL.

    Game 6!!!! Magic Johnson was unbelievable.

    I've been YouTubing the fuck outta Clyde Drexler. Him and Pippen. And obviously Johnson and Bird.

    Curry annoys me. Cheeser. Westbrook is showing him how it's done.

    I live about 20 minutes from LeBron. James. So naturally the Cavaliers are the talk of sports here.
    Check out the the most recent interview with Larry Byrd who thinks this current era has the best shooters ever.
    Most old guys see their era as the best. But he got into the details of 3 point shooting and how small guards that are fast are still in demand.

    Or was it forwards? ! LOL!

    Oh im rooting.for the Cavs...whom swept 2 teams to everyone's surprise.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    Me, just watching Golden State vs OKC now. Didn't think OKC would do anything in the playoffs but they might win the lot.

    Yeah think they might aswell. Surprised by them. Obviously with KD and Westrook they have quality but they kept throwing leads away in the regular season and they tended to just almost play pick up basketball, which worked against poorer teams, but not so much against the quality teams. But they've stepped up in the playoffs.

    Imagine how dominant they'd be if they'd have kept hold of Harden as well.

    Locally we've gone from The Jazz to the Hornets to the Pelicans. No . Honestly the game delays, prat fall fouls really slow down momentum. Though there is nothing like a long arcing 3 point shot. Like NFL football seems like the college game is more action oriented.

    It's funny because I tend to like a LOT of small forwards. In my naive hoop infancy I actually see them as pivotal in regards to good team chemistry. Very reliable. Our maybe they just get in where they fit in but yeah someone that can either deputise in a lot of areas, or can have a bit of free reign to pick up the ball/play and lead by example.

    That's how I see them so far.

    Wow. Didn't know they had him. Interesting. I like Adams, think they could involve him inplays more than they do.

    Is it normal to have your centre out on the perimeter marking the PG?

    There's a lot of flash in the league positions 1-3 (that's Point Guard, Shooting Guard, and Small Forward for you foreigners), but when you start to understand the beauty of the inside game that's when things get interesting. Tim Duncan is one of the all-time greatest players and he's flown under the radar for much of his career. Watching guys like Kareem Abdul-Jabaar and Hakeem Olajuwon move in the paint was magical, for guys over 7 feet tall they were graceful and had lots of finesse and then you have guys like Shawn Kemp and Shaquille O'Neal and Darryl Dawkins who were just pure power.

    I enjoy seeing the COMPLETE game, play hard on offense, make the extra pass for the open shot, but also hustle. Follow your shots, rebound, outlet passes, diving on the court for loose balls, playing good defense.


    And if you ever want to see some brilliance at the PG spot look no further than THE 'Pistol' Pete Maravich...
