    the question I'm responding to is if a Big in LA's position playing Dallas is enduring significantly more more physical abuse then a PG in Paul's position with their minutes being held up as the main proof.

    I'm not buying this at all. If I post up someone, I probably have to push a guy more or less my weight around the court and I'll get whacked across the head and arms. If I'm a PG and my scoring game primarily involves taking someone off the dribble from the perimeter, I'm getting whacked, pushed, & ending up in a heap under the hoop after being upended by guys significantly larger then me. No man is a hard as the hardwood.

    both positions that these players find themselves in sustain physical abuse. I'm not buying that Paul isn't in the same ballpark as LA at all... if anything he's sustaining more. Remind me of all the great scoring PGs that play well into their 30's. I can list quite a few post up guys who have...

    Have you watched an NBA game up close or know anything about low post play? I ask because you appear to have some huge misconceptions as to the physicality of post play in the NBA.

    I doubt there are more then a couple posters here who've watched more NBA hoops then me in the last 30+ years... geez I've been a daily fixture in this chat community for over a decade while you're a infrequent guest

    you've been guessing wrong

    You also compared you playing Rec Ball a few times a week to LMA playing in the NBA. Your seniority can't make up for your stupid comparison.

    Your reading comprehension and memory are pathetic. So is stalking posters who think you're a fucking joke. Sad that you need attention so badly that you resort to this, but thats you being the board troll

    You never answered my question. Have you watched an NBA game up close in person and are you familiar with low post play?

    I didn't answer your question because you asked it like an asshole

    The last time I lived in Portland was 2007 and I had season tickets in the club level. Over the past 30 years I've probably been to 500 NBA games or so. I've sat most everywhere in the arena including up close, but prefer being about 20 rows up along the sidelines just off the corner for both perspective and because I'm not made of money. But I'm hardly a novice at watching NBA inside play... I'm an NBA junkie

    I've also played an ton of organized and pick up hoops over the years. When I post I've both a smooth hook going to my right and a fade away over my right shoulder when I go left. If the defender is playing too close I'll fake the shot and step through.

    You can always count on a certain poster to make things personal around here.

    You posted it, STOMP. I can't comment on your posts about your own personal experiences that you shared on this board?
