How can one man be so smart and so stupid at the same time?
This season is horrible but it's rather because of bad timing with a lot of teams going into a full rebuild or declining (Rockets, Blazers, Nuggets, Lakers, 76ers, Mavs, Suns) and the young, up and coming teams being still a bit too young (Bucks, T-wolves, Jazz, Magic, Pistons, Pelicans).
Give it a year or two and it'll go back to normal.
Kind of. There are a lot of irrelevant teams out right now who really don't have a star and kind of just there.
Barkley might not know how to get his point across in a clear manner, but he's almost always right.
>its a wade/duncan/kobrick/lebeta makes it the finals episode
reminder that this has been happening since 1999. i mean granted lebron is the only person who can still make it to the finals at this point but fuck man thats a long ass time
Not really the NBA's fault. These retards are raise from birth being told they're the next GOAT and all they have to do is work out to be great. Look at all these fucking athletic freak big men who have absolutely no idea how to play basketball. If DeAndre Jordan knew hot to pass, post-up, make free throws, ANYTHING other than just dunking and blocking shots, he would the best fucking player in the league. They're coddled by their parents/family from a young age and they never actually have to learn the game, they just rely on natural talent and end up getting roasted by the few guys who have natural talent and basketball skill.
>>67879077
>it's a Magic/Jordan/Hakeem/Thomas makes it to the finals episode

>Duncan the 60 year old PF still shits on 90% of the league
>NBA isn't bad meme
kek
>>67879158
Right, for some reason I placed the first Celtics-Rockets Finals in 1983
>>67879021
Is he right?
>>67879176
Just look at the state of the Pacers.
NO
>>67879176
>white boi having any say on the nba
lmao
>>67879160
Duncan is absolute dog shit
What about Kareem, Malone, Ewing, olajuwan all playing into their 40s?
These old fags always think they were the best. In sports, music, movies, literature
>>67879187
They weren't competitive lmao. Duncan is still in an ELITE FUCKING TEAM.
>>67879180
he was a lot better than most of the niggers in the league in his day.
>>67879160
Duncan plays like five minutes a game.
>>67879187
>older generations of people in general believe they're superior to newer generations
Stop the fucking press.
>>67879196
>Duncan is still in an ELITE FUCKING TEAM.
Yeah, but you're retarded if you believe it's mainly because of him at this point of his career.
>>67879200
In a competitive league he should play 0
>>67879180
>listen to a proven champion and legitimate goat who saved the league
>a loser who quit on every team he played for and has been wrong about half the shit he says
Hmm I wonder who'd I listen to
>>67879211
please, larry bird was average at best the only reason why he was so popular was because he was white
>>67879207
The fact that he can still play is the testament to the quality of the league.
1) because literally nobody is good enough to replace him even in his diminished role at his age?
2) he can shit on most teams in the league even in his limited minutes
>every nba finals since 2007 had kobe or lebron
>tfw we never got a kobe vs lebron nba finals
i will never understand why the jews didnt rigged this to happened
>>67879160
Nice memes faglord
>>67879230
Kobe would get shit on by Lebron if they ever met. The Laker mafia couldn't have that shit fly.
>>67879225
kareem literally won a finals mvp at the age of 37 you fucking pleb and 2 more titles at 39 and 40 as the 2nd best player seriously sit your fucking ass down
>>67879219
it's well past your bed time, young'n.
>>67879240
>They're literally still on teams that make the playoffs
>The competitiveness and talent pool of the NBA
>Can't replace old as fuck guys from the 2000s
>>67879250
And where are they now?
That's right. On the golf course.
You tried.
>>67879243
Kareem is a once in a generation player though, Literally regarded by many as one of the best ever.
>>67879267
so is timmy, wtf is the point your tryna make
>>67879264
>You tried
The fact that they even made the playoffs is laughable.
>>67879278
>making the playoffs
>an accomplishment
>>67879187
The angry cancuck appears again. Duncan really declined suddenly this spring other than that hes been filling his role defnsively and getting rebounds. You wouldnt know that because god knows what shit media youre being fed up there. He did appear to be shook though.
Something clicked in march and...nothing was the same.
>>67879288
In the West it is.
>>67879219
hes easily top 10
>>67879021
Fuck yes he us
Game has surpassed baseball in being unexciting
Shit I find baseball more entertaining now than I did 10 years ago and find basketball being more boring now than I did 10 years ago
>>67879219
Here's a you(You) for you retard
>>67879293
>he thinks the west was better than the east this year
>>67879347
It objectively was
the nba got boring ever since they removed shit like chimp outs and fighting
>>67879176
Tbh Bird is fuckin retarded because he's inpressed by the advances in athleticism and probably figures he wouldn't be able to keep up.
>>67879387
how the fuck is that retarded? that's humble, and realistic. you won't see anyone from the '96 bulls saying shit like that anytime soon.
>>67879406
Because honestly if Larry grew up playing the evolved, more athletic game with modern equiptment, he'd probably be more athletic.
I'm not necessarily with Chuck on this one, though.
>>67879241
Tbh this. Prime Lebron was unstoppable and kobe was exiting his prime so the Jews didn't give us a Brickbe v. Bron Bron rinal so that each GOAT could chase their own legacy without tarnishing the other.
Smarter move in my opinion.
>>67879054
pretty sure that's Barkleys point, there hasn't been a lull like this since Bird and Magic saved the 80s. Warriors/OKC/Cavs are memes and Spurs are too old to compete, Kawhi has to find his groove **tips Spurdora**
>>67879451
>prime LeBron was unstoppable
lol no, physically prime LeBron was very stoppable, 2013 to now is killer instinct, mamba nigger LeBron and is much better at leading and winning
>>67879241
>>67879380
This is exactly it. The NBA pool isn't any less talented, it's just more boring to it's demo. There is no Michael Jordan telling everybody to fuck off. There is no Iverson having his bodyguards shoot people. There is no Kobe banging a white girl and her accusing him of rape when her family finds out. Now they have LeBron trying to become a billionaire and Curry. There is no relatability.
>>67879380
also less white people
>>67879510
LeBron's tryna get one for fa land, bro.......
>>67879021
Yes he is
After the draft class of Anthony Davis
Most of the succeeding drafts have terrible players
didn't somebody just say the complete opposite? i believe it was one larry bird if im not mistaken?
>>67879560
maybe read the thread retard
>>67879526
>LeBron attempting to bring accomplishment and pride to his home town
Like I said, no relatability.

>>67879587
no problem fatass
>>67879534
>Most of the succeeding drafts have terrible players
We've had 3 drafts since then.
2013 was horrific
2014 was decent although disappointing
2015 has a new GOAT in Towns and a bunch of great prospects
>>67879597
>than
>>67879607
2015 was a great draft i think, still a little too early tho
2016 will be absolute shit however, right next to 2000 draft
And the 2013 draft class wasnt that bad...
>>67879607
He might be the only exemption from the draft, the others wont last long.
Tfw when Towns leave the town for a bigger market just like KG and Love.
Well I cant blame them, I heard during your presidential primaries hundred of thousands Somalis are being relocated there.
>>67879021
>0 rings
>>67879054
Pelicans harpooned their future and it still pisses me off. Wolves managed to suck long enough to look like they have a good future, I hope they don't do the same.
>>67879021
yes players should stay longer in college if they plan to go
>>67879230
Mavericks completely shat on the NBA's plans for this to happen in 2011
>>67879021
Yes.
Also, you should force people to graduate in order to qualify for the draft.
>>67886138
Lakers were done, they wouldn't have gone past OKC.
2009 was the best chance but Lecuck got cucked by Dwight and a bunch of meme shooters
He's kinda right
Think about it:
>300+ Division I basketball programs
>highest number of international leagues of any of the 4 major sports
>only 30 NBA teams
>only ~15 dudes on an NBA roster
>NBA draft is only 2 rounds
And yet, every fucking year, maybe the top 3 dudes wind up becoming anything other than role players at best
Why is this? Is just part of the nature of the game?
>>67886364
people want to get paid rather than take the extra 2 years to develop your game in college. Doesn't help that you have all the every single person on ESPN saying they should get paid.
>>67879724
>getting btfo to the point where you have to correct someone elses grammar
wew lad
>>67886387
And that's why MLB's play is so much better than any of the major sports.
Even if you come out of high school and forego college ball, you're still going to go to the Minors and develop, unless you're some naturally gifted baseball freak
>>67886387
They should get paid. But it wouldn't be a big deal if they were getting that kind of development during their first couple years in the NBA (or the D-league). And some do; Steph Curry and Anthony Davis didn't do shit their first 2 seasons in the league.
But there has arguably been a decline in talent. I think that the league is trying to find a middle ground between the way the NFL operates, where players must be at least juniors, and the MLB/NHL, where players can be drafted out of high school, but have to go through a farm system. It's not working.
Either the NBA has to increase the amount of time a player spends in college, or it has to create a legitimate farm system beyond the current D-league
Fat man Barkley is a ringless nigger
>>67879111
>black athletes
>family
>>67886530
Could just draft after 2 years in college but have them play the next two years in college anyways to develop. Although that could backfire if students who were drafted decide not to play to avoid injury
>>67879230
>we never got 2013 lakers vs the heat in the finals
>3 mvp awards on each team
>one top ten all time scorer and assist leader on each team
I'm still mad about this
>>67886687
that could actually work. Give the students a stipend on condition that they keep playing through college to discourage that bullshit.
>>67886530
curry did spend 3 year in college to help him improve a little
>>67886922
Because he played for a tiny school in bumblefuck nowhere and needed two postseasons appearances (granted, his junior year was the NIT) in order to get more exposure
>>67879044
Ego.
He's only smart when it's convenient to him, when he doesn't like the answer he arrives to, he just ignores it.
>>67879180
Larry's not white. He's clear.
>final score 111-120
Yeah, he's right.
One-and-done is killing college basketball and it has absolutely murdered the NBA outside of a handful of top teams.
>>67879021
>even my casual fag mom was noticing the flopping
I think what pisses Barkley off is not only the fact there are a bunch of shitty teams, but the fact that the game is just different. The rivalries aren't intense cause Anthony Mason isn't literally smashing niggas in the paint. Big men are practically just there to set screens and put back layups instead of actually playing in the paint. The game has changed to this touchy, quick, let every team hit triple digits type that allows for the occasional dunk or flashy layup for ESPN to play for the nth time.
Also, in a sport where the individual players are very much at the focus, we don't really see these player-player rivalries really intensify anymore.

this was like the 9/11 of the nba
>>67887299
Single handedly ended the thug era
>>67887266
Another big problem is the way a lot of big stars and especially Westbrook plays where they drive hard to the net trying to get a foul. Literally 0 intent to score.
I know that pisses off the older people I talk about ball with.
>>67887299
>12 years ago
fug i thought it happened in the 80s but that was when the hockey players fought in the stands
>>67887328
Single handedly killed physical basketball of any kind.

I bet you were 4 when it happened.
>>67887368
9 actually
>>67887378
I was 10 when it happened, how do you not remember it? It was all over the news.
>>67887395
I did not really care about sports until I was in college. My family was just suffering dodger fans who did not watch jig jump
>>67879021
Deandre Jordan being on the first all-nba team and Demarcus Cousins being on the second is all you need to know that Chuck is right. Shaq was even getting pissed about it last night when they were talking about it.
>>67887422
Can't blame you for being a dumb 9 year old I guess, but it was it gained a lot of attention outside of sports news. I mean can you honestly imagine seeing something like this happening again?

>>67887299
Literally the GOAT NBA moment
All because some butthurt fan tossed a cup of beer
>>67887343
Artest is friend with that guy now
>>67879380
No this is stupid. If Andrew Bynum or Demarcus Cousins would throw down some nigga people would just say how much a joke basketball is. You think that helps the game.
>>67887762
Yeah cause everyone complained about how awful basketball was when the Knicks, Bulls and Pistons beat the shit out of everyone.
>>67887803
A lot of people did, child
>>67887902
viewer ratings says otherwise
>>67879230

People will still watch sports even if they don't like the way it's going
How many people bitch and moan about the NFL being "wussifed" but still tune in every Sunday?
>>67888006
that still doesnt change the fact that viewer ratings were higher back then
>>67887266
The rules have changed. Teams are trying to avoid injuries to the guys they're paying millions of dollars a year
Same reason the NFL protects quarterbacks so much
barkley is right
there are only 4 good teams in the west
and whatever team lebron is on in the east. and he still flops like a penaldo to get a call when he's obviously going to win the series
disgusting

Of course people did, shit people still complain about fighting in hockey even though they don't understand the history of it in relation to the sport, but it certainly wasn't something that scared people away from watching powerhouse matchups back to back to back to back games on Sundays on NBC

>>67879021
There's no way he didn't say KAT or the wolves in general were going to be elite in a couple years. He's just an old dude reveling in his "glory" days and trying to make it seem like his era of basketball was tougher, excusing him from never winning a ring
He's also on the curryhatingfag bandwagon, and they're the "best" team right now, so this is a way of discrediting them
> the golden state wurriers are a gud team, but they won in a time when basketball was turribul
>>67887299
Damn what the fuck was ben wallaces problem. Nigga didnt even get fouled that hard
>>67879021
Is Sir Charles ever wrong?
>>67879230
Didn't Lebron choke against the Magic in the 08'-09' ECF? I remember Lebron hitting a game winning three in game one then got btfo after. Kobe one his 4th ring that year against Dwight Coward. Could've been Lebron had he palyed with better teammates/played better.
Lebron couldn't cut it with the East at that time, he really needed some help.
>>67888728
That's not what he's saying at all.
He's always been complaining about the level of competition and that it's really low, and how sloppy fundamental basketball has been this decade. He attributes it to players not staying for longer than a year to learn fundamentals and team play/chemistry.
He likes the talent, but most of the NBA is made up of role players, who have little to no fundamentals.
Warriors play in a style that was never won rings until now, and even then they're fighting years of a tried and true system of big-man, smash-mouth, 4th quarter Iso-play.
>>67888942
lebron wasn't going to beat kobe with his faggot teammates
>>67888773
look closer down low, he was probably mad about getting kicked. Almost got him in the nuts, and since he wasn't actually hit in the nuts he wasn't incapacitated long enough to regain his composure.
>>67889397
I agree but we would never truly know because Lebron didn't make it.
>>67888942
>never got to see a LeBron/Kobe finals
>if the Thunder blow this series we may never get to see more than one LeBron/Durant finals
>>67879044
This, he legitimately knows the game well as evidenced by his breakdown of individual plays, but then he says the stupidest stuff, like drafting AI first overall in an all time draft.
>>67889621
At least we got to witness a Kobr/Big3 Celtics 2010 finals, which is objectively the best finals of this millennium, and all time.
>>67887481
What are you talking about you fucking autist
>>67879021
the West is good, the East is total shit
>>67886364
it makes me think basketball is a meme sport
or everyone is good now
I think it's time to standardize basketball rules in the amateur level to suit the professional level.
Fuck NCAA rules, they are babbying the players.
>>67879021
How to fix the NBA:
> stop calling fouls for light contact
> stop babbying stars
> reduce regular season to 60 games
the nba died when the eternal goat left to play baseball
>>67879021
He's a tortured genius
>>67886364
Thats not entirly accurate, last year alone theres at least 7 or 8 guys from the first round who are going to have 4+ year careers in the NBA
the problem is theres no academy system in the US to really teach kids all the fundamentals, theres a reason all euro big men can shoot free throws and are better than average passers. In the US the most athletic and explosive athletes get the most attention and are in turn recruited to college teams and dominate an incredibly weak college system and get to the NBA and the majority of them arent anywhere near ready to contribute
>>67898797
>muh fundamentals
LMAO
>Conference Finals
>Blowouts everywhere
This entire NBA Playoffs has been pretty shit tbqh, aside from the Spurs getting merked by OKC.
>>67887266
I miss when teams actually hated each other, like Lakers-Celtics in the 80s, Bulls-Pistons in the late 80s early 90s, Knicks-Heat in the late 90s.
Those games were always fucking exciting to watch because you knew both Franchises hated each other.
>>67879021
In terms of raw athletic talent, the league is better than ever. In terms of actual basketball skill, it's fucking pathetic. There is a severe lack of skill development in both the college and pro game
>>67898846
>DUDE JUST DUNK OVER THE 5'11 FRESHMAN IN COLLEGE LMAO WHO NEEDS POST MOVES OR BASKETBALL IQ
fuck off retard
>>67879387
He's right about greater athleticism. It's been accompanied by a decrease in strategy. That's been the case for a number of decades though
I think this decade is fine. its certainly better than the 2000's. The only thing its lacking in is good big men but that looks like it might change soon if the last couple of drafts pan out
>>67879021
He's absolutely right, I used to watch back in 2004 I used to watch NBA games regularly. Now it's boring as fuck and even the playoff games have been lame. The only thing worth watching is curry because he shoots from ridiculous spots on the court and he has mad handles. Lelbron is boring, slam dunks are boring %80 of the time.
Idk what to do about it though, maybe things would get better if these guys were forced to play college ball for 3 years like football.
Breaks my heart as a sports fan 2bh
>>67898979
>I miss when teams actually hated each other, like Lakers-Celtics in the 80s, Bulls-Pistons in the late 80s early 90s, Knicks-Heat in the late 90s.
Im actually glad for this
I hated the NBA making everything into a rivalry storyline like its the goddamn WWE
one team doesnt need to hate another team to drop them by 30, it does nothing for the game in this foul sensitive era
>>67888942
>Choke
Averaged 39, 8, 8 lol
>>67879219
Isaiah Thomas plz go.
ANTI-CHUCK KEKS
HOW CAN YOU DEFEND THE GAME TODAY WHEN IT'S BEEN PUSSIFIED? THE REASON THE NBA IS THE WORST IT HAS BEEN IS BECAUSE THEY EASED THE RULES SO THAT YOU CAN'T PLAY DEFENSE ANYMORE
>>67879021
yeah. basketball players take almost as long as baseball players to get their shit together
>>67899429
Did you actually see any of the games between those teams in those eras? Knicks-Heat wasn't fabricated man, they legit hated each other. Some of the best games I ever got to see live.
>Tim Hardaway vs Allen Houston
>Zo vs the entire Knicks frontcourt
>NBA banning the throat slice after they fought because Timmy did it after hitting the game clinching 3 down in Maimi
>The bench clearing brawl where JVG became infamous for hanging onto Zo's leg
The NBA is boring as fuck now. And I agree I don't want fabricated storylines either, but go and watch an actual game between the teams I listed during those time periods and tell me it wasn't some of the most entertaining basketball you've ever seen. Hell, I even forgot another classic rivalry, Pacers-Knicks in the mid-late 90s.

this. and he went to college lol
>>67879293
>he feel for the west is best meme
The west is top heavy as fuck so plebs think that makes them better because they have inflated records. In reality, the West has to play inferior talent so the best teams get better records, whereas in the East it's far more balanced.
It's just nostalgia, the game in past decades was more bread and butter and relied a lot more on size... tho it's credit actual play running ans passing for favorable match ups was more apparent.
I think the game now is more small ball and the stars tend to be athletic fast breakers and cutters like Westbrook, but you clearly still have have as much skill as past elite players in ballers like Curry.
If you named the top 3 players in each position throughout the years and matched them up with guys like Wall, CP3, Rubio, Lowry, Durrant, Derroze, Cousins, Leonard and Drummand I think everything is arguable - Let alone players like Curry and Lebron.
You could argue there is more depth... but let's consider 5 of the 10 rings between 2000-2010 were won by Kobe, mostly with Shaq and 2 more with Duncan, mostly with Parker /./ and 6 of the 10 rings between 1990 and 2000 were won by Jordan and Pippin... yeah
Unless they mean like the really new players... then maybe but very few players have ever truly stood out in their first 5 years so in that case who cares
Of course players like Jordan will always say they'd beat Curry/Lebron/Kobe/Iverson, and Shaq will always claim if he were 25 he would shit all over everyone who ever played... But if you accept they were better than K.A.J, Magic and Chamberlain you need to apply the same logic to new players
>>67879021
Yes and no. He's right about the teams being too young, but NBA is as a bad as ever in terms of contending teams.
It doesn't help that the NBA just hit a transition era, Warriors memeing the finals last year marked that era; it'll be back to normal in a year or two.
I was never really a devout follower of basketball before but I have been watching the past three conference final games. I'm curious but was there always this many fouls? Like say compared to 15 years ago. I don't remember fouls being so present.
also I know the game changed for lots of threes as well but it seems a little strange how they just keep chucking the ball over and over again missing and missing just to try and hit threes it and the other team gets possession it seems like they are hurt more by going for threes then making safer shots.
but I don't know dick about dick about this game
>>67879491
>an All-Star game is your rebuttal
>>67886690
It's still incredible to me how much of a bust that season was.

Reward over risk + there's always the opportunity for an offensive rebound.
>>67889681
Watch that draft video again. Barkley made a mistake. I forgot what it was, but it was a mistake. And fuck outta here, the answer is the truth
Chuck is absolutely right. the kids come out of college after a year or two and still don't even know how to play basketball. AND THEY NEVER END UP LEARNING.
years later and players like Dwight Howard still doesn't know how to post up on offense, or shoot free throws, or play team ball, or anything.
The biggest problem is not the NBA rather AAU basketball well they do not teach these kids skills. That is why Europeans players will dominate in the coming years because they will outskill the NBA players.
I really love how the coward euro players introduced flopping from soccer then the nigs started flopping too
>>67900838
agreed. European players have already been dominating anyway, like Tim Duncan, Ginobili, Nowitzki, Nash, Hakeem the Dream Olajuwon, Parker, the Gasol brothers, etc.

this, and its only getting worse with social media and the whole "highschool mixtape" era.

chucking threes doesnt work
but at the same time shooting threes is statistically proven to be more effective than it appears to the "naked eye", so to speak
so on the one hand you have many examples of games where a team tries to rely on the three and has an off shooting game and gets crushed because of this decision, its risky to try to rely on the three
but on the other we have teams scoring more and more points because they shoot more threes now then ever before
when you have scorers who are good at driving to the paint and good rebounders, it becomes really effective to play the ball movement game and try and give your three point shooters a half second of time to get their shot off, its been proven that the best three point shooters have the strategically optimal skillset
however that can change as defensive schemes evolve

Yeah, I agree with Chuck. Just look at all the college basketball players leaving school to jump to the NBA after 1 year. That should change. Superstar college players should play 3 years in college, and then decide if they want to go pro.

By your logic the NFL should clearly keep making the game softer and avoid hard hits and rough contact because ratings are higher than they have ever been and its because of the increased penalties to protect players.

>every nba finals between 1999-2016 had either lebron/wade/kobe/duncan playing
>every nba finals between 1981-1998 had either
magic/bird/isiah/jordan/hakeem playing
yeah the nba never had any parity to begin with
>>67902155
70's had quite a bit of parity
>>67903509
and that was when the league was at its lowest point in terms of viewers because half the players were high on cocaine
>>67879111
This.
Most young players can't even do basic basketball skills such as, boxing out, setting a proper screen (90% of screens now are illegal) shooting free throws or basic passing. This is poor coaching from high school and on. Because most coaches are afraid to teach a 16 year old diva, who is told he's the second coming of Jordan.

The NBA has got to do something about all this 3 point chucking. It's honestly not very fun to watch at all and it causes the games to turn into total blow outs really fucking quickly!
I can't help but feel this years playoffs have had the most blow out games ever.
I think chuck may just be tired of this meme ball.

You can thank AAU for that shit.
