Kenny Smith explains it perfectly how once hand checking and physical permitter defense was eliminated totally in 2004-05 the game was much EASIER for guards and wings to score. Guys today are NOT way more skilled than guys in the past, they just have WAY more freedom of movement....

The NBA has also allowed more travelling & sloppy dribbling. Guys get away constantly with 2B dribbling & carrying the ball. The Steph/Harden/Haliburton step back 3 is a travel 7/10 times.

What he doesn’t explain is that today players still constantly hand-check and illegal defense being removed in 2001 made it harder for perimeter players to score.

big myth guys have shooters all around them now and much better spacing. Without illegal defense still no difference. The lanes are more wide open than ever

Lmao so the average nba player improved each decade from 60s to 70s to 80s and 90s and after that they stopped and have gotten worse since then??? So the 60s were the most skilled because they had the most rule restrictions

Individual players and team stats are at an ALL TIME high in the NBA this year. Are players more “evolved” or that much better than before? No. This year alone, 9 players are averaging: 25+ PPG 5+ APG 5+ RPG From 1990-2001, this happened only 9 times: Jordan (5 seasons) Drexler (1 season) Barkley (1 season) Hill (1 season) Kobe (1 season) Many fans claim players are far more superior, but in reality, four factors are inflating stats: 1. Officiating: The NBA allows more leeway on traveling, and refs heavily favor offense over defense. Players are going to the line more than ever (according to free throws per drive data), while offensive fouls are at an all-time low. Defensive 3 in the key and removal of physical hand checking has made driving easier than ever. 2. Analytics: Eliminating midrange shots and forcing far more 3-pointers has spiked scoring. 3. Pace: About 9 more possessions per game than in the 1990s. 4. Heliocentric offenses: Superstars like Luka, Giannis, LeBron, and Jokic have the ball in their hands most of the game with full freedom to score or create, which was rare before. Artificially boosting such stars numbers. Nash talks about how he wishes his team took more 3s because the data shows they would have optimized their offense more. His Suns started this and now every team plays like them. Fast paced and heavy 3 point shooting. So next time some kid throws stats at you, show them this.. Guys HAVEN’T evolved they just have been optimized for maximum stats and Adam Silver has pushed for more scoring with refs favoring the offense ✌🏻 (credits JxmyHighroller YT)
