I saw a crazy stat today: He averages 23.7 yet hasn't scored 30 once this season.

You jinxed it

 

[Pastafazul]

No but your mom told me.

Just told mom what you said... out comes the wooden spoon

 

[msgkings322]

It’s fact. Back in day they didn’t play for the contract.

Now, that’s all they do.

Right, they would have played for free back then. Jesus that's a stupid comment.

Pfft, my mom used the back of a hairbrush

Oh please. That get off my lawn grandpa shit doesn't work on me. Everyone thinks it was all better when they were young.

Some do, and like everything some are right

 

[Pastafazul]

You have to be kidding me if you think you can tell us how much heart a player is playing with.

This could be the dumbest thing ever written about the character of an athlete.

The Lakers sank 19 of 37 3's....LOL.

 

[Shanemansj13]

You have to be kidding me if you think these guys today play with as much heart as players of yesterday.

So bc this is a different era you think that determines if players have heart or passion?

Nah, it's just how humans are wired. We all look nostalgically back on life and the best years are from 10-25 because you're young and healthy and attractive and have no responsibilities and your whole life ahead of you. The 15 year olds today will tell the kids in 30 years how great the NBA was NOW.

That's just great parenting right there. I bet she broke some clipboards on your head too.

I didn’t say I agreed with the heart statement, just that every now and then someone is right when they say things were better.

You're right, this ^^^^ is.

It's all subjective. It was better....to them.

Is this something you’re hearing for the first time?

todays players don’t play hurt like they did years ago, and why? Cause the money!!!

today’s player wants to financially secure their great grandchildren...

Right, yesterday's player hated their kids.

 

[msgkings322]

Hey @Pastafazul I have a feeling your Knicks are gonna take this game tonight, with the Ws on a back to back. But who knows.

I mean there have been a ton of guys battling injuries that we don’t know about, also it’s why players’ careers last longer now. They want to prolong their career. So you are saying players were dumber back then basically lol
