In the past few days, the long-distance controversy between Shaquille O’Neal and Stephen Curry has sparked discussion. The reason for the contention was a hypothetical comparison between the Los Angeles Lakers from 2001 and i Golden State Warriors from 2017.
Both players support their team’s superiority and just now also Draymond Green launched into such a comparison in support of his team. Green, while watching a replay of the 1998 NBA Finals, commented on the challenge between Chicago Bulls e Utah Jazz, arguing the clear superiority of Golden State’s version with Kevin Durant against both teams.
It must be admitted that our 2017 team would have given at least 10 points to the Bulls and 40 to the Jazz if they had played like that. And that explains why it doesn’t make sense to compare different eras, there have been too many changes in the way we play. This game (Game 6 of the 1998 Finals, ed.) was played mostly on free throws and with occasional action outside the arc. Learn to appreciate things for what they are, analyze the games and stop the unnecessary controversy.
I’m watching the 98 Bulls vs Utah in the Finals… I can’t help but notice our 2017 team would’ve beaten these Bulls by a dub and these Jazz by 40 if they’re going to play these brands of basketball. And that’s why it’s dumb to compare Era’s

Question… When they are comparing Era’s are they taking into consideration the drastic differences In style of play? Regardless of the answer, it’s very dumb to compare one era to the next era.

This game is being played from the free throw line and in.occasionally stepping out to the 3.
