The agies were different from the seventies, and seventies were differ from the sixties and sixties was different from the fifties. But in all of it, it had gaming ship, it had aggressiveness, and it had stuff they came with it that you didn't really hear about that you're here now, nah lord, he feeling himself and I like that.

To these cats on lead who lean on today's rules and regulations to qualify their greatness, it would have been significantly tougher for you to be as great as you are now back in the day playing with the rules the level of physicality that they allowed. Perfect example would be Steph Curry. Steph Curry came into the league with soft ankles. You might not have survived. They would have sat up there. They untied your shoelaces. They'd have stepped on your foot, they'd have twisted your damn ankle.

Steph Curry, absolutely true. But because I believe he's the best shooter that God ever created, I think he would would have adjusted. You can't tell me that a Lebron at six nine two sixty could have deal with the physicality of the old days because he would have been hurting people because that's how powerful and that's how strong he is. You can't tell me Kobe couldn't have done with that. You can't tell me that Vince Carter, the greatest in game dunk I've ever seen, couldn't have dealt with that.

So I know that that's not what KG was trying to say, But I just want to qualify. Let me be very very clear, Steph Curry could have played in the old era because you.

Just don't teach shooting ability like that.

Klay Thompson could have played in the old school era, because you just don't teach shooting ability like that Lebron James any era, Russell Westbrook would have been a monster without having to rely on the three like that, Russell Westbrook would have been off the chain. James Harden would have danced on people. Kevin Durant any era, He's six to eleven with a handle in a j Jokic with his ball handling. Ability is passing ability, is shot making ability? Yes, if Bill Lamberd could have been in the NBA, Yolkis could have been in the NBA.

Ant Man is gonna do so. Don't let Minnesota give him an additional scoring weapon. My god, don't let that happen, because Minnesota gonna win a championship with ant Man. I love ant Man, but his statement, my brother, you're such a young whipper snapper. You just don't know. My condolences to you for what you do not know. Remember, Connie Hawkins is what gave doctor J the creativity and the innovativeness that he ultimately exercised and took to another level. And Doctor J did that for Michael Jordan, and Michael Jordan did that for Vince Carter, and Vince Carter did that for Vince Carter, and Michael Jordan did that for Kobe Bryant. List goes on and on. When you see something to replicate and emulate, your creativity burst from there. But I also understand why KG clapped back like that. You can't disrespect the errors like that.

I remember when JJ Reddick made noise. It made news because he was arguing with mad Dog Russo on my daytime job, First Take on ESPN every weekday morning from today in the twelve noon, and he was talking about fire men and other people that were playing back in the old days, and it came across as disrespectful to the Bob Coozies and Jerry West of the World and others. Successors come from successful predecessors. You don't disrespect the errors. You show an appreciation for them because they showed you the way.

And where it starts is what you never ever failed to respect. And when you're young and you do that, it shows a flagrant lack of appreciation, which is why Magic Johnson said, Yo, I really don't listen to anybody who hasn't won anything. And so even though we gonna see the greatness of Anthony Edwards until he wins a championship. How much y'all wanna make a bet that what we gonna remember most is Magic Johnson saying, Hey, I really don't listen to somebody who hasn't won a championship. He didn't win a championship in the NBA yet, he hasn't won in college. To my knowledge, I don't think he won in high school. That's what Magic Johnson said. Folks gonna hold onto that quote because ant Man said what he said, and now.

I thought he should have been the MVP of the Olympics, by the way, even though he didn't show up until the last two games. He was that spectacular about my Lebron James was a model of consistency throughout the Olympic game. So I can't pool pool him getting the MVP award. But just so you know something about Steph Curry one of only four players in league history with multiple NBA titles, multiple league MVPs, and multiple scoring titles, joining Kareem Abdul Jabal, Michael Jordan, and Wilt Chamberlain.
