Um, there's only two guys in the top 10 on that list who have a game or build remotely near to Booker. Not sure what point you were trying to make (and that's a post-MJ world when the crown was up for grabs). Let's also not say that MJ was playing against plumbers and garbagemen when there were athletic freaks like Nique, Clyde, Mncrief, KJ, JKidd, Kemp, Chuck, Zeke, Worm, LJ, Penny, The Dream, Shaq, Spree, Nance, Grant Hill, The Admiral, Finley, Majerle, Manning, Magic, Alvin Robertson, Reggie Lewis, etc. Also, LeBron alone is NOT representative of the whole league. He's a freak of nature in any generation with an awesome skillset. Just because he exists doesn't mean that every player in the league is at his level. That being said, he doesn't play well when the defender can dictate his moves (see Iggy v LBJ in the Finals). Once you get in his head, he has trouble with contact (i.e. he gets reckless). Many guys made hay in the 90s NBA by having a limited skillset, but being skilled at dictating their defenders' moves. That style died off when these guys were asked to focus less on D and hustle plays and learn to shoot the open three. A 29yr old Dennis Rodman couldn't find a job in today's NBA. Dude, get over your nostalgia! Devin Booker would SERVE thunder Dan WTF are you talking about?!? And a 29 year old rodman who in this modern NBA would be all defensive at all 5 positions with tons of offensive skill he just didn't use to appease the teams scorers wouldn't have a place in the NBA?!? I'm Sooooo faking DONE with this conversation!!! Pass the weed cookies man you bugging out! Did you even watch the NBA before 2001, or do you just watch 30 for 30s and make assumptions?

Beasely hasn't played since (he got his first minutes last night, but clearly still in the dog house).

Fair enough, but last years suns would have been down 20 at that point For a projected bottom feeder who had one of the worst offseasons in the league according to basketball knowers, the suns are doing pretty ok

THIS same knower also KNEW the 'uns were fuuking stoopid for not drafting Luka Legend! Now another so-called NBA knower, SLOWTIME, says that Dennis Rodman couldn't find a place in the current NBA. Arguable the greatest defender AND rebounder in league history would be out of the current NBA in his athletic prime at 29. WHY IS NO ONE ELSE NOT CALLING THAT BULLSHAT?!?

Can't hit the three. Can't dribble. No finesse around the hoop. No one would give him a shot today. It's a different league. You're viewing him as Dennis Rodman, 5x NBA champ, 8x All Defense, 2x DPOY because you have already seen it (but really only in highlights and ESPN films). They would view him as an under-sized and unskilled hustle-guy from a small school. He'd become an after-thought. And honestly, this is my biggest beef with the current NBA. You can balance out a team much better when you don't expect every player to be a shooter/scorer.

Was bound to happen eventually Just doesn't make a ton of sense to me that they've been this bad with nearly the exact same roster as last year It's making the trade look that much better for Toronto. You'd think he'd wanna prove he wasn't the reason they could never get over the hump. They'll be looking to move him for a ball handler and defender and they'll improve enough to limp into the playoffs, now that the Warriors might not. But House Suns is making that harder to envision.

Ridge has called the Spurs season so far. I'll admit when I'm wrong, and I was/am I do still like Murray at only 23. I like Lonnie Walker a lot too. Everyone else should be available. Aldridge to Boston actually makes some sense, though not sure what the Spurs could get back besides (hopefully) Brown. DeRozan will be hard to trade IMO. Still an all-star caliber player, but he's been so inconsistent this year. Not much want-to. Such strange times for the Spurs. That article was spot-on, there's no direction at all and not much hope for things to get better any time soon.
