Something crazy I just noticed. The two leading scorers, a genetic freak 7 foot guy considered to be the most dominant inside scorer in history and a 6'6" guard in 2025 have the same 2 point FG% of 58% 💀💀.
The thing with assists is now for it to be an assist it has to be catch and shoot. Back then it was pass the guy dribbles a bit then shoots it was still an assist.
the reason players minutes were a lot higher back then is because teams played a lot more in the half court, compared to today where the pace is miles ahead of where it was back then
I'm a Bucks fan so I'm biased, but Vin Baker was so dope. Great all round player who got a triple double and multiple all Star appearances despite being on shitty teams most of his career
Those players on those top 20 lists from "95" would all eat crazy in this era especially with the fact there's no hand checking today & with how waaaay less physical the league is today… Then u go & look at the players on the "2025" list's & u have waaaay less players from each list that could even play back then 💯🤣
The reason why the nba players did not average as much points as today is because it was a lot more aggressive and todays game is so soft it’s not even funny just look at Joel embid
I think assists being down is more indicative of better team passing vs just one guy who you always ran your offense through I think more guys are better facilitators so you are going to have less high end assists guys idk that it means assists as a whole are down
Cuz so much ball Movement around league assits goes down cuz eveyone get them not just one player holding ball all game like that . Also most Stockton assits would’ve not counted today game lol with the rules most of them was Micky assits pol
I feel like the loss of blocks in games and shot blocking as a whole is heavily attributed to how much offense has changed. Hard to have shot contests when almost everyone chucks 3s and not playing in the paint
Nobody considered the actual amount of trips up and down the floor. The game was slower, centers were the focal point still. If you do the math to adjust for the trips up and down the floor, shaq probably averages 42 ppg

Bro, John Stockton played 18 years with the dude who finished 3rd all time in scoring. How are we still having the stat padding conversation?
Chef curry 56 piece 🎉
Andrew you should do a top 10 players of all time of pure skill, no accolades
MJ was given tons of fake stats. The stat keepers were biased af. There's a game vs the Hawks MJ had more steals than there was ATL turnovers

Pace is different

So basically 3 pointers have gotten way more popular and modern players are softer and don’t block or play as much 🤷🏻♂️
Why do you hate assists as a stat?
Hot take : Warriors win the chip
Sir Fenichel may you re-grade the Trae young to the Hawks, Luka to the mavs deal now that luka is a laker?

Bro I found a person who said shai averages 20 free throws per game💀 he averages 9 and ppl call him a free throw merchant
I think the reason new players get hurt is because of the crap they put in our food.
to be fair about the blocks. If all the 3’s taken today were mainly drives instead we’d have quite a few extra blocks
bro literally picked the season jordan didnt play lol
Honestly with how bad defensenses are now i’m shocked the scoring isn’t higher ngl.
Id love to see the steals comparison for this. What dyson is doing rn is revolutionary (totally unbiased hawks fan)
So guys played more minutes then, but had less scoring stats. So if blocks and steals are down now, then offense is easier to score.

17 rebounds is insane
Wemby was averaging what they were doing but he’s ruled out for the season 😔💔
if you ignore john stockton (it’s widely known that his assists were padded by scorekeepers) assists are up
Drew pls make a video for your mvp I wanna know your opinion
Can you make a video about the cavs celtics game tonight
So are we just sayig it was harder to score back then but harder to defend now ?
hating assists as a stat is an all time bad take
Cuz so much ball
Movement around league assits goes down cuz eveyone get them not just one player holding ball all game like that . Also most Stockton assits would’ve not counted today game lol with the rules most of them was Micky assits pol
Players are gonna score more when the same players don’t play any defense at all
ANDREW FENICHEL has KOBE BEAN BRYANT ranked 10th all time (and is scared to debate over it)
One reason scoring is up is the popularity of the three-point shot
waiting for that deebo Samuel trade vid 😭
Deebo to Commanders!
Deebo got traded to the commanders
Deebo for a fith !?!
Don’t forget this before the three point evolution and hand checking was still a thing
2017 warriors would swept the 96 Bulls 😂
React to Deebo Samuel to Washington for one 5th round pick
Nfl

Hating assists as a stat is probably the worst take of all time
Nobody considered the actual amount of trips up and down the floor. The game was slower, centers were the focal point still. If you do the math to adjust for the trips up and down the floor, shaq probably averages 42 ppg
Can we have a video about the commanders new offense with Deebo and if this will be a 2024 Texans repeat?
