Event Around the 2025 NBA Playoff Madness!

They did it for 75 years. There used to be more back to backs and 4 out of 5s and guys like John Stockton and Michael Jordan played in every game.

 

It's just crazy how Stockton played 82 games at 40 years old and Jordan did it at 39. Truly a different group in today's game.

 

If they go for it I'll put in a good word and maybe they will interview you for the assistant position?

 

Pacers need to keep up pressure. Don't let OKC go home with tied series.

 

They also got to coast on defense against a bunch of stiffs that had no shooting, compared to today where it's a court spread with 5 deadly 3pt shooters.

Also the game had way less possessions as offense got 24 seconds instead of 14 today, so there was a lot of time just pounding the ball and resting.

Don't get me wrong - I love 90s NBA and prefer most of it to todays boring 3pt yawn fest. But the effort players have to exert today is incomparable. Additionally a sample of 2 guys that played all those games like Stockton/Jordan isn't indictive of what the other 95% of players can do. Those guys are exceptions - not the rule.

 

CP3 is 40 and just did it.

LBJ is way more effective at 40 than Stockton/Jordan were.

 

If you look at exactly how many times Stockton played 82 games you might be surprised.

 

You know what they have in SF everywhere that you just can’t find here is Dutch Crunch bread. Even the places that use it to make their sandwiches, don’t sell the bread itself! Very frustrating.

 

So, whoever wins Friday is the eventual Champ? It should be an intense game and fun to watch.

 

Can't beat San Francisco sourdough. It can't be duplicated outside the Bay because it results from our local wild yeast strains. I bake regular bread with commercial yeast although in dedicated ceramic bowl that is wiped but never washed with soap so wild yeast spores can live dormant in crevasses. But can't beat genuine two day fermented sourdough.

 

Stockton and Jordan did not coast on defense. Jordan was DPOY and I think Stockton is #1 all time in total steals. As for the other 95%, players were more in danger on offense. Playing against players like Laimbeer, McHale, and Anthony, you could get seriously hurt for trying to score in the paint. Not the case now.

 

Jordan and Stockton did it year after year.

 

LBJ spent more on his body than Stockton/Jordan made, period.

 

No way is he worth over $ 50 million per year.

 

Yeah… I get the feeling the next collective bargaining agreement negotiation is going to be a bloodbath.
