Maybe you should try watching the modern game of basketball. Other posters have already laid it out for you. My guess is you’re either trolling or too dense to see what’s been presented to you. 

- or doesn't have a TV set 👀

Magic had 42, 15 and 7 as rookie in game 6 of the 1980 NBA Finals. I'd say that's pretty versatile for "pass first" point guard. I don't understand what these idiots are talking about.

Magic would be considered a combo guard in today’s game.  He did what was needed to win  

I bet 30 years ago, you were one of those types that said “you can’t win in football without a prototypical pocket passer QB…dual threat guys will never win a natty”. 
 

Your basic argument is so flawed that you just look silly. Just stop. Or go away. Doubtful anyone will care.

Flaws? I'm dealing with munchkins. Magic wouldn't be considered a combo guard. He couldn't shoot. He couldn't defend other guards when he was past the age of 24. He literally led the team with passing. He could get downhill and score if the other team decided to play him with a guard. No team could defend his passing off the dribble (I don't say "bounce" because it's stupid). He was literally one dimensional. That one dimension was unstoppable.

Liar. 

We're dealing with people who think you can cheat physics and form. You can't. Time doesn't change that. You can manipulate people and their views. That will change their effort level. It will make them say stupid things. It won't change reality. 

There's a reason Shaq couldn't be stopped when he actually worked and tried. That reason is physics. Problem was he didn't do it more than a few years. 

 

We talkin about the times. The times changes everything, man. I mean, people talk and get their stuff going. That's all that really matters. Just like me trying in the game. I don't need damn practice. Things are different now. Don't need no damn practice. Never gonna a win a title, but that don't matter. Times are are different now, man. You gotta roll with it.

Hey man, your overly emotional and reactionary posts have completely nuked this thread.

You haven't made a single comment on the topic of the thread, which is the Swiss wing we are recruiting. Not that hard.

Please do us all a favor and go start your own looney thread on these oddball topics so that we can all enjoy a cordial hoops discussion on the proper topic at hand. Posting like an overly emotional child on a message board needs to go. 

That goober Kobe has three titles. I don't care. He practices too hard. Shaq don't practice. Media and fans tell me I'm the best. That's all that matters. We talkin about modern basketball. You ain't gotta practice. Shi*. Let's look at the damn stats. I'm better, man. Hell, I ball out in the games.

And yet you're the one talking about basketball from 40 years ago. 🤣🤣🤣

Speaking of forty years ago... Growing up in the 80s, my father's deal was that you weren't worth a crap if you didn't outwork your keep. I don't think you boys understand that.

I'm dealing with nuts in terms of history. I've been watching a 49ers channel by Larry Krueger last few years. Guy constantly mentions Emmitt Smith and the Cowboys beating their ass in 1992 and 1993. Says they can't take that and they still need to get even. Ain't no one here close to that.

Oh that was your father’s deal? You grew up in the 80s?

Literally no one cares about anything you have to say. I’m sure your posts are being seen by 5% of the community because you’ve likely succeeded at something: getting people to use the ignore feature

That’s awesome - please keeping telling us meaningless stuff that you’re doing along with any fleeting thought that passes through your head
