ChickenMedium posted:If we're messing with the lottery, add ways to win lottery balls. A team should get a lottery ball for: 3pt contest win, dunk contest win, winning the IST, or if you have a player with the season high record for points, rebounds, assists, blocks or steals. You could have teams otherwise out of the lottery with extremely slim chances to win. They should draw more than just the first 4 spots. Make it 6 or 8. Honestly, and no trolling here, just get rid of the lottery all together. They'll never do it though

-No more timeouts and commercials. I've looked at the numbers and those billionaires can easily afford it. Many of the commercials are a bunch of nonsense designed to just steal more $$$ from poor people anyway. -Ban all discussion of FG%. It's very misleading in the modern game. Only reference 2P%, 3P% and eFG%. -The NBA court should look like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQSHAfzU5ks Gold tanks and more cheerleaders etc.

BiggerBoat posted:Could Moses Malone, Bob Lanier, Artis Glimore, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale or Patrick Ewing have Hall of Fame careers the way the NBA is built right now? I'm honestly curious what their stat lines might look like in this era and how they might be used. They could all crash the boards and that's always useful but none of them were outside threats, could really run the floor or penetrate the way modern bigs can, nor are particularly known for their passing skills. They would PLAY for sure but in what way? Notable players of yesteryear would be fine. Depending on the circumstances they might look better or worse based on teammates etc. The question is much more about marginal players from many years ago. Some of those shorter/smaller guys at the end of the bench would not be in the modern game. Going by volume and efficiency Artis Gilmore is basically the fourth best scorer in NBA/ABA history (behind Kareem, LBJ and Durant)*. He'd be 100% fine and the fact that he had to wait until 2011 to get into the HOF (and that he didn't make the greatest 50 or greatest 75 players lists) shows that there's confusion out there. *if you factor in league average shooting then Gilmore is #2 only behind Kareem.

BiggerBoat posted:No doubt. I totally agree. But there were also fewer teams then so you had a more condensed talent pool also. For a while, after expansion, there was talk of not enough talent on hand to go around. I can't think of any player from The Glory Days that could replicate what Lebron, Durant, Curry, Jokic, Giannis, Alexander or Wemby can do and have done as of right now but, in addition to the overall rise in skill sets, players were tasked with different roles back then as well. Nobody was running Ewing on a high screen for a 20 foot set shot or spotting up Moses Malone for an open three. I wonder sometimes if the 80's Celtics and Lakers or the 90's Bulls and Pistons could even hang with this right now, but I tend to think they could. Guys like Larry, Julius Erving, Isaiah Thomas or Magic would ease right into it but I wonder about some of the bigs I posted up there a minute ago. loving Larry Bird and Dell Curry would be raining 3 pointers. There were fewer teams but there were also far fewer people to start with. Much bigger global population and foreign knowledge of the NBA now. There's a narrative that expansion leads to diluted teams but it isn't that simple. In 2024 the standard deviation of SRS was 5.38 (the fifth largest in NBA/ABA history). That's due to the Celtics being so dominant while there are four terrible teams performing like they're expansion teams. That's a number you'd expect to see if four teams were added to the league or something like that but it's been thirty teams for many years now. Those older teams would be in trouble. Look what happened when a random player got hot from three back then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-4xwcxo9gk The league is filled with guys like that now. Tons of current teams are capable of a 3P onslaught that the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s never saw. Isiah Thomas would have to learn how to shoot. His shooting was bad against his peers in the 1980s. It'd be much worse now and many Pistons would be ejected/suspended in 2024 for attacking opponents.

People probably used to say poo poo like “Larry Bird is the best, he hit so many threes tonight. I think he set a record.” “How many?” “Three” “Holy poo poo!”
