If only he carried a gun...

Don't let Valade and the stooges see this.

Feels like the "neutral time period" is just some metric you came up with rather than an objective mathematical approach*. How exactly are you eliminating any bias from there? You set the parameters...

Well, just by that parameter you mention, do you also consider that it is immensely easier to bring the ball up the court nowadays?

Can you explain part #2? What is the common period league average and how do you get that figure?

Overall I like your logic but care to explain the bolded part?

Why was it more favorable? If anything, it was harder to score from the low post than it is now. I get that it's less common to feed...

NBA Finals 1976

By some accounts, "the greatest game ever played".

Boston Celtics versus Phoenix Suns. At this point, series is tied at 2-2.

Yet if no one pointed a gun at anyone, that's zero lives saved. Am I following this correctly?

So if I point a gun at you and you point a gun at me, that's two lives saved?

That was a group stage game.

The final of the same tournament was reached by both teams:

Figured we could use a thread with some random retro stuff during the off-season.

FIBA U19 tournament in Italy, back in 1987.
Yugoslavia versus USA led by Larry Brown.
...

Is there a website that has a list with all the well regulated militias in the country? Just asking for my 2nd amendment rights in case I wanna move to the USA and own a gun.

Guns save lives lol. From what? And from who?

Mark Price was probably better than both but his career doesn't do him justice. (ie injuries and facing Jordan at his peak)

Circumstances matter.

Of course it would. We all rate Stockton for what he displayed over the years, but that's a result of the team believing in him and playing to his strengths. I think he'd be more than great in a...

Ermm... sure?

Michael Jordan
Alonzo Mourning
Reggie Miller
Scottie Pippen
Larry Bird
PJ Brown
Kobe Bryant

And Pat Riley. Isiah Thomas, too.

You've never seen players suffer from bad offensive schemes and bad coaching or mismatches in playing styles between player and team? No player ever benefited from moving to a team or playing for a...

Who said anything about rule changes?

I explained what the 'circumstances' are. Would the Nets, Pacers, Blazers or Hawks of the 2004-5 season magically become a top offensive team just because of...

Well, yes they did. Those very specific circumstances included having coaches that promoted the style of play that highlights his game.

If he played for a slow paced team in the East, he'd not be...

I admire his confidence in applying whatifs.

Just because these numbers happened under very specific conditions in a very specific period of time, we can magically assume that this would always be...

I see this post and then I see Lebron ranked #2 and I fail to see how the same person made this assumption

Remarkably, this is how the Far Left reacts in (south/southwest) Europe :laugh2:

Are you willing to join a regulated militia to honor the 2nd amendment?

They aren't there to protect the children, they're there to help induct them in society.

Protection from what? Why would a child be under threat of gun violence in the first place?

If...
