seriously some of the worst analysis this season has come from stephen jackson, gilbert arenas, paul pierce, kevin garnett, etc. just no understanding of how the modern nba game is being played or why it evolved to be that way.

theyre also starting to become like grumpy 'old media' ex players shaq, chuck, etc...where a lot of their takes are them just tryna prop up their generation as better basketball players than the current generation.

like one of the most idiotic takes ive heard all year was gilbert arenas saying players arent in good shape like they were in his era because the guards dont run as much distance. because they shoot more 3s and dont drive to the rim as much. nevermind all the off the ball movement, multiple actions each possession instead of straight iso ball, increased pace, increased possessions, etc...then also having to play defense against all that, cover the entire court starting 10 feet above the 3 point line, etc.

just imagine watching todays game and coming to the conclusion that the players are in worse shape and dont run as much. that should get you banned from all platforms lol.
