Using Embiid image when talking about soft is very accurate lol
The biggest problem I see in the NBA is that most players, especially the stars, are more concerned about trying to draw the foul than they are about playing the game.
If casuals want to see 130 -120 basketball why are the ratings and viewership steadily in decline?
They did at first but it’s gone too far
That happened in the 60's and basketball was growing then. Of course, it nearly died in the 70's, but enough big stars weren't in the league at that time and then Bird and Magic saved the league.
viewership for damn near everything is in decline its not just basketball
@@a-a-rondavis9438 The NBA/ABA merger along with Dr. J too saved the league as well.
Streaming, CZcams, highlights… A lot of people don’t want to pay to watch games, and a lot of people especially kids just watch the highlights on CZcams.
Im 27 and most of my friends don’t watch TV anymore, we watch Netflix, Amazon prime, CZcams, Illegal streaming for sports or movies/series …
Ppl act like the players made the league soft. The nba made the league soft at first with the rules and techs which made the players play that way
That and aau just coddles them all the way to the league
But players are complaining about playing too many games. They want longer rest time, they want to lower the season, very even complaining about wanting more All-Star breaks when they already have extra all-star breaks. They already complaining about back-to-backs when in reality they removed the triple headers to do them a favor. They have all the advanced technologies, faster playing rides, unique, special personal trainers, longer breaks, and yet they want more? Dog come on man
Somebody who actually KNOWS his shit,as opposed to casuals blaming the PLAYERS. I say this all the time,players dont make RULES,the league does
Nah it was a mix NBA players union was a big part of it!
Agreed. Look at the international rules vs NBA, you can actually play defense in Europe. Game changed in 2003 drastically and every change after has been done to hinder defenders.
Hell, You can now take a 3 pointer a foot behind 3pt line and land two feet over it and the defender is responsible for you jumping horizontally instead of vertically.
You can still hit big guys but breathe on guards and wings and they all hit the floor whenever they shoot.
Ive been watching NBA since the 90s and i feel like the BIG change of the nba came after Malice at the Palace. After that brawl with fans it seems like the nba really cracked down on player aggression. The league and rules changed more and more after that incident imo.
Yes ! I say this to people all the time. The night that shit happen , the whole NBA changed forever. I will also say the Jordan rules has an effect on the game now.
I’m pretty sure i know what you talm bout yea that did seem like turning point
I was debating family just yesterday about the physicality after the Malice in the palace. The lack of physicality, I think, is the main reason scoring is up
TBH I like more scoring when the games average like 105 or so points per team. Cuz honestly those low scoring 60-70 point games were not always the most fun to watch. Also the fact that teams are shooting more threes makes it easier to put up more points since 3’s>2’s. And besides if you look at playoff scoring there has been a lot more defense and actual real defense being played albeit within the soft foul and flopping rules of the NBA
@@user-gm5gc1be4w there were only low scoring games in the nineties and early 2000s because defense was at its best....in the 80s and even before that the game was fast paced and scores were high
The league made the league soft, not the players. Players are gonna play the way it's being called.
“Soft shell taco, mild sauce!” True Wayne fans know that’s a Wayne bar!!!
Yes sir “ Move the Ferrari like a wild horse “ s/o weezy
The past was more athleticism and few techniques(players decided to develop a particular skill, such as Ray Allen...) today's is more techniques(every NBA players plays identically) and less athleticism.
It’s the same way the NFL has catered its rules to the offense. The NBA wants players like Steph Curry to light up the scoreboard; they did the same thing in the 90’s to accommodate Michael Jordan.
Rules became soft and the players just took advantage and capitalized..
If I ever was preparing for the NBA I would have Gil as my trainer...I could only imagine I would hate the training but I would the most prepared
Another aspect I have heard for more injuries in the league could be the amount of players who played AAU and specifically heavy minutes. Young bodies need time to grow and heal but if you play basketball competitively all year round, thats a lot of wear and tear on a young body
The main reason for the injury is how fast paced the game is now compared to early Era's.
@@berlin4103 Actually they were playing at a fast pace in the 60s and 70s too. Look up the number of offensive possessions and shot attempts from those eras. It may surprise you.
thats the difference between training and full speed. the point of you train at 70% 10 times so you can go 100% once and not break
Sports doctors have been writing about this for years. I read an ESPN piece years ago that said players are coming into the draft injured and with limited mobility because they played too many games too soon.
@deandremh that espn article was crazy.. it explained the Julius Randle injury.. all these 12 and 13 year old kids with double knee surgeries..
It's not a physical softness that I see in the players but it's a mental Fragility that they have now
Idk if I’m tripping but Miko’s body language is different when Kenyon sits next to her 😂
yup she a lil giddy
The owners made it soft.... They want more flash and razzle dazzle type of basketball with less to no contact on players instead of solid defense basketball...Plus for players safety ...they want their multi millionaire star players on the floor instead of sidelined from rough hard contact which could lead to injury
I do not have the numbers in front of me, but I'm going to assume that the jump in injuries are largely because of non-contact injuries. The softer rules allow drivers to have more success weaving through traffic, and therefore there are more people possibly planting their feet at awkward angles. Plus, modern medicine allows those whose career would normally be cut short due to injuries stick around in the league longer. And those types of guys seem to be the ones who continually get injured.
Other reasons include getting less sleep due to technological advances and youth train harder earlier in life so by the time they are playing at the age of 18 or when drafted; their bodies already have a lot of miles on them.
Exactly! And the game really is a lot faster, many more possessions per gane than in the early 2000s, so with everything being a little faster, you don't get to plant your feet as well, to correct your posture, etc.
@@SmoothOperator419 to me the mileage is the biggest thing. For some of these kids basketball is like a job from an early age. They're damn near in bootcamp. In Magic and Birds eras it was more pick up till it got dark cause they loved the game.
Actually, and this has been proven, players have more miles on their bodies due to AAU. Plus... they don't really focus on health like they should. No one is really "stacked" like LeBron and those guys in the 90s, etc. Having "meat" on your bones helps you avoid injury. Working out strengthens your ligaments, joints and all things athletic. America focuses on actual playing vs. fundamentals and working out. Think about it... MJ played 82 games even in when he was 40. He was DURABLE. Today... they aren't durable. They just play and hope.
Thanks to Lebron and James Harden flops everyone wanna flop
The more fights the better. Bring back Meta!
I agree about the weight training. Michael Jordan's trainer was also saying that modern players don't lift as much as they need to, and that's why injuries are sky high.
Most of the players train with bands and balls than with the steel weights.
Better nutrition better med etc and the players are more injured than back than. Something is off
I literally don’t remember McCants in the league.
Exactly I had to look him up to find out he was a first round pick that only played 4 years in the league and only averaged 10 , 2 and one 😂 before getting sent to china…. EMBARRASSING LOL
I'd you say you do you lying
I don't blame you, he was out the league before 2010
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@FreddieJ65 they’re hating
Wonder if the lack of “alpha” players is due to players playing with other NBA prospects earlier in life. A lot of guys have NBA prospect teammates at the AAU and high school levels.
Exactly back in the day guys went to regular high schools in their hometown now they all go to super basketball academys that recruit them from elementary school, they play on super teams in hs
There are less "alpha" players now because coaches have realized that team oriented, unselfish play is a lot better/more efficient (and more fun to watch btw) than iso play
@@student99bg valid but i think it has more to do with these basketball academy highschools guys are playing on teams full of future college players so they dont have to be dominant and break records in highschool, guys used to try to score 50 every night in highschool when they played on regular teams
@@student99bg We have to acknowledge how times have changed both in business and social media. Back then you would hear about someone from another state but never really see them or their game but you wanted to see what it's about in real life so at the college level maybe you encountered each other for the first time. Today, parents are moving to an entirely new state even while their kid is in hs to be on their kids future and have kids team up together, these kids are reaching out on social media and planning to team up or at least meet up way before they reach college or the NBA so they're genuinely friends from a young age😂They understand, the better talent they put together, the bigger the spotlight, the more opportunities and the higher chance they have of getting D1 offers and eventually making the league.
I need more of this
It’s not the players fault. It’s the rules and how they are calling the game. The NBA wants more scoring to increase fan’s participation and growing the game.
It might NOT be the player’s fault however the RESULT ended up being… a softer league… thinner , more injury prone players… soft 🤷🏾♂️
@@kiingphresh9328yeah you know absolutely nothing about the game of basketball
@@jaidenroberts05 google it. Come bac here & TEACH me basketball.Your response sounds like that of a PG is my 🐐 clowns
@@kiingphresh9328 Lol personal fouls are at an all time low compared to the 80s and 90s and pretty much any era before. Injuries are due to kids starting early on extremely advanced workout programs that NO kids and even most adults should be doing unless they're professionals and they should be taking years to work their body into doing these things so that the body can develop appropriately to avoid wear and tear.
I have to say I am enjoying Kimo, Kenyon and Brandon and Rashard.
Their takes provide diverse talking points.
I also appreciate Gil, while I understand much of what he has said was to draw “views” and clicks. He is smart and knowledgeable about offense.
Very entertaining perspectives.
Salute Gil. Keep it going
who’s the lady in the blue
Kimo lmao 🤣
@@usa5439 yea I didn’t know her name either cuz all she does is interrupt and not add
That thumbnail is hilarious 😂😂
The rise in injuries is due to SPECIALIZATION. "Back in the day... " Kids played multiple sports growing up and played outside often so their body was used to and better adapted to a larger variety of movements. This helps with injury prevention.
Facts, plus athletes actually worked out in there off season and or strength/weight training
Kenyon and Gil acting like they played in the 80s.. Like todays physicality is so much different then 2010 when these guys were hooping
Nba is a joke . This whole generation is soft.
LeBron came in 2003 right before the Malice. I remember defense back in 2014 being decent. I don't miss low scoring games but a little physicality wouldn't hurt. Physicality NOT dirty fouls.
@FreeMind13 yeah I also remember that spurs pistons finals around that time. nothing put me to sleep faster then 83 to 78 final scores
We need McCants underdog picks posted b4 this game
I remember people saying the league was soft during the late 90s and early 2000s. Every generation feels the next is soft. Wilt talked about Shaq not being able to be as effective during his era. Magic took shots at the soft calls MJ received.
Because every generation does get softer with evolution of the game 🎯
@@toniocapone7379 I respectfully disagree. Competition is a measure of the combination of skill and fortitude. Athletes don't make it to elite professional leagues being soft. The physicality of the 90s is grossly overstated. The evolution of skill level is the primary differentiator. Humans evolve physically. We don't regress.
@@6d6575 I hate to agree but to a certain extent he is right. In no way is a UFC fighter as tough as late 1800s- early 1900s boxers. Those boxers are not as tough as legit Gladiators!!!! We do get softer as times goes on.
@@dewanewelch1744 I suspect you're gauging toughness by the rules of the sport rather than the athlete. Just because past rules allowed for barbaric fights, doesn't mean today's fighters with more skill and technique are softer. You also have to consider humans are significantly larger and have more muscle mass than those from the 1800s.
@@toniocapone7379 players today have stewpid afrows
total cop-out. people want extremely good offense, but they want to know the players are earning it. not that the rules force it to be given. It's why most think Jordan would average 40 today.
People that say Jordan would average 40 today don't factor in the fact that players today AS A WHOLE are far quicker and more athletic than they were in any era before which is expected, it's evolution. People also act like MJ didn't play in the era of 1 on 1 and still didn't average 40. MJ literally used to clear the floor and have his entire team stand on the other side of the floor to play 1 on 1, they then brought in the rule that it was illegal offense, now imagine if KD, LeBron, Kobe, Kyrie etc... were allowed to do that, one could argue their numbers would be significantly higher too.
At the same times injuries are up, guys are hitting their wall older than ever. We can hypothesize why but it’s definitely something to note.
Thumbnail is crazy😭😂
Every player used to come in relatively thin because they're young but through the years they'd lift weights. We could expect and see the growth in their size and expect and see a raise in their competitiveness and game from it. Now most stay about the same size as they got drafted. The "Curry" effect also doesn't help but I digress. The best "time capsule" example is you'll see LeBron doing a physical offensive play and the entire opposing team and crowd immediately complain, it almost looks dirty but in reality it's all legal, not his fault the others don't lift now, it just looks strange to the rest.
Another main reason for the injuries is kids are coming into the league a couple years out of high school. In the day they spent at least 3 yrs developing your game and your body before coming into the league. Unless they were already unique physically or they came off the bench early on like Kobe. Like K Mart said their bodies are ready for the true grind. And that’s where load management comes in.
Nonsense. Players in Europe go pro before finishing highschool. Man's body is fully developed at 15.
@@student99bg european playes that goes to USA doesnt play physical
@@student99bg Yes but that's because over here we're not pressured into lifting weights with our nose while wearing slippery shoes and olive oil on our hands while dribbling a ball at age 12 along with all the other weird workouts they tend to give to young kids in the US😂There's a reason why they can jump out of the building by the time they're 14 but all of that comes with a serious price which most of them will face just a few years after.
Ty for putting Embiid as the picture, he needs to see this!
Aye whoever did that thumbnail you did your thing brodie
Is the girl there just for Adlibs?
That thumbnail is hilarious.
Shorty is trying to actively listen a little too much shes interrupting what they saying.
True
Was looking for this comment
Lol that thumbnail 😂
Preeeeaaaach GiL!! 🙌🔥🔥🔥
The game is soft..defensively it just switch automatically. No1 trys to fight over a screen. Just switch, die on the screen. No help side rotations. Guys barely box out consistently.
Regular seasons is almost unwatchable. 120+ both teams
Why am i getting videos i already saw in my feed….
Players became soft but more skillful. And the Association wanted it that way for the TV audiences for bigger fatter contract.
Players were always skillful the rules before didn't allow for them to show it they to operate in the rules dribble how they were told etc
More skillful? The skill or height gap hasn’t changed much since the 60s….Like dude said above, players had to adapt to the rules.
@@BooBooDaFoo330 No, that's definitely false, the skills have drastically evolved including athletism from the 60s till now. I still watch basketball from all the eras before and I can honestly say most of those guys wouldn't be in the league today and that's how it's supposed to be, it's evolution, they're supposed to take what the previous eras did and improve on that, get better. And btw, there were far more foul calls back then too compared to today, I always believed this watching both eras but then went to check the stats and right now the fouls are at an all time low, so that narrative has been a lie for some time now.
@@hakshustletv not even true, you’re so ignorant. The rules forced players to play a certain way…look it up yourself and the stats are different cause of the pace of the play was faster back then. Nothing has really changed other than the rules and style of ball
@@BooBooDaFoo330 "Look it up for yourself". Ok first and foremost, unlike most of you that comment, I've actually seen most eras of basketball. The game and talent has changed drastically, that's not my opinion, that's a fact. A role player back then isn't the same as a role player today. A role player today is essentially just a lesser starter, they can do a bit of everything, a role player back then literally was brought in to fulfil one maybe two roles at the very most and lacked in pretty much every other area.
As for the stats, people are saying today is softer, they blow the whistle for anything, there is ACTUAL FACTUAL DATA showing the RIGHT NOW the number of foul per game is at AN ALL TIME LOW. That also is NOT my opinion, that IS a FACT.
Because the referees are inconsistent with calls.
Sometimes its sensitive, but most of the time you need to act/flop to get calls.
Take note that they don't want them flopping. But the game require them flopping.
Lebron, Rose and Shaq was the victim of this calls until 2012-13 that Lebron is trying to flop.
I say trying because he still don't know how to flop😂.
But D. Rose is still not getting the calls like the others because he doesn't flop.
It all starts with Adam Silver pampering NBA players. NBA really went from fining dudes for flopping to rewarding them with FTs and people calling it a "smart play". Dudes cant play back to backs AND wanna shorten the season 🤣🤣 Adam Silver said load management isnt a problem either. Tell that to the fans paying to watch star players and then realizing they not even suiting up, or better yet, a ref deciding to eject them out the game on some weak ish.
Adam Silver is too scared to Ja and Kawhi. Don't be surprised if Ja will ONLY BE SUSPENDED FOR JUST 10 to 15 games maximum 😂😂😂😂

Man the video of embidd flopping by someones finger to funny lol
Yea but you see heres my thing: it doesnt seem that players as a whole have any problem with these rule changes, being that on a large level it must allow them some type of tangible benefit. If guys can score more then the league becomes more attractive to viewers thus players get more money. Players only seemingly push back whenever theyre called soft because of these changes. So id argue, yup, players are softer now. Not in physique but in mentality.
Definitely like not only can you not defend a dunk well anymore, but nobody wants to get dunked on. It's both
@@AmandaabnamA well tbh idk how much I'd wanna get dunked on either haha but your point is valid. Dudes don't even got the heart to put themselves out there to defend like that. But we call this out and they say it's the league. Like....aren't you a part of the league tho?? Smh
As a Wizards fan who witnessed Gil miss two free throws against Lebron it’s ironic listening to Gil speak on toughness idk how y’all do it.
How did he shoot free throws "against LeBron" LeBron isn't a team you freak
I'm not gone base his whole career off that but that was some of the softest/weakest shit I've ever seen in the NBA. Now look how he kisses Lebron ass which makes it even worse. He acts like he's on Bron's pay roll
All of Rashad's analogies involve food... _soft shell tacos with the mild sauce_ 😂😂😂 he look like he slings weights, so he probably stay ready to eat. I do too😂
I think the players adapt to the league, not the other way around. Look at a guy like lebron. A lot of old heads look at him as one of the poster boys of the floppers and call him soft “he wouldn’t survive in the 80s or 90s”. But when he was playing the pistons of the mid 2000s with the Wallace’s and tayshaun he lit them on fire, you can’t tell me he couldn’t have handled a more physical league
Mccants quoting Wayne talking bout he call it 😂
What is blud doing on the laptop ?
Its been reported that these guys are getting tested by medical staff before drafts and they have 30yr old knees at 19 and 20. Why because they played AAU basketball all year around in highschool not giving their bodies a rest while its growing causing them to have wear and tear before they even come into the league.
Shout out that Lil Wayne quote 😂 Drought 3
Not sure why I thought Mccants was 10 year veteran. He only played 4 years, crazy. His name was so popular back then, I’m assuming because he played for UNC.
And yet… THIS ninja INSISTS on sitting here with this fuckin crown on. 😒
I remember him as a bust.
It's hilarious seeing a scrub in the league calling the NBA soft when players now are even more talented then the players back in his day.
@@mrb.2497it's an extreme display of ego and narcissism lol. Who does that.
He still played in the league ....for however long....he still made it
They definitely RIGHT about many changes from present to past. Even though i have pros & cons of numerous eras,i think playing DEFENSE is harder now than ever before cause of rules & the versatility of players 1-15. I like how everyone on the panel said the LEAGUE changed things & not the PLAYERS. So many low basketball knowledge fans blame LEBRON single handily for the way the newer is,when players don't MAKE rules,they follow or manipulate them. I do wish more players had a more team oriented mindset these days too,but if gms & coaches did their JOB,more players wouldn't be trying to form super teams or move around so much to win.
With the “attractive to sports fans” ideal. In my opinion I don’t think fans as a whole want to see scoring. Fans want to see a good game. I’ve heard plenty people complain about how sports are to offense heavy. Seems like it’s the execs who want scoring not the fans.
People won't really accept that these rule changes are business decisions to aid in longevity, watchability, and predictable performance. AAU and the greater mileage these players have entering the league combined with the fast pace game (only can be quick because of freedom of movement) means if it can either be physical or fast, but not both.
White stars mean more money.
@@AEdavirginI don’t see how if we’re being honest the nba didn’t start making money like that till black players showed up. Out of the top 15 selling nba jersey of all time. Only 1 is white and that’s Larry. Even Michael and ness there’s only 1.5 in the top 30 jersey sales Larry (1) and Mike Bibby (.5). So I’d really like to hear how you came to that conclusion.
Bullshit ... These dudes stay more hurt than anybody I've ever seen in the 80s and 90s
I've seen more injuries from flopping alone 😂 Harden, Smart, Embid I can keep going lol
@@youngtied2092and stuf like that made look soft and player be crying by fouls as well Everyone is trying to be tough but Behind the camera they're not
How Gil talks one would think he was a hall of fame player😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Players will cater to the rules in all sports. The NHL started having problems with flopping/diving. So you know what they did?
They changed the rules. It’s really not that complicated.
They added “embellishments” as penalties, AND more importantly, they actually started handing them out regularly.
Players switched up REAL QUICK once they were hurting their team and getting embarrassed/ruining their reputation.
It literally took like 1 season to fix the issue. All you have to do is just commit to actually calling it league wide. It’s not that complicated.
Doesnt work . End up showing up the star players. Media run flopping statistics. So it ends
That's the whole point he's describing.. People love their stats too much and would hate to have/see that
McCants wit the Lil Wayne dedication 2 barz 😆💯🔥
The biggest problem I have now with the rules is the land on your foot automatic tech. Smh. I get it, but sorry not sorry, you cant even touch anyone anymore and now i get a tech if a dude lands on MY foot? How can a defender determine the landing spot of the ball handler and still play good defense. So Why even contest the shot at this point then

The soul of the game was created on the playground the concrete it hardens you strengthen your body and mind now the last 15 years the players are born on AAU courts they are missing the physical toughness and the mental strength and mental strategy also the playground was a killing field it was predator vs prey and you would be eaten alive if you do not fight to survive and this is every day. Every day you have to go out and kill or be killed or you wont be picked to play
Concrete is bad on the knees and ankles. See the ball brothers: Melo and Lonzo.
@@jen_nice2059 spent majority of their time playing AAU ball. Which is on the wood in gyms and Lonzos issue is genetic same as Kawhi do your homework
all that physicality led to malice at the palace, thats when the nba really changed. If you wanna blame anyone, blame yourselves.
Stupid comment from a non informed commenter… the malice in the palace happened because of a fan not the players! Pos
right on the head
False. It was the physicality that lead to that incident. It was the fan that threw the beer on Artest that took things to that level.
Yall just soft . The fans are the worst
No, it was the heated rivalry that spilled over in a bad game. Physicality wasn't the issue.
Fantasy made them focus on offense simple and plain.
I hate the complaining after plays along with the flops… it’s ridiculous. They cry to the ref. almost after every damn play make AND miss!
I've been watching since the 90s, and flopping used to be considered a smart move or just standard gamesmanship. It changed when the Spurs went crazy with it lol
I just realized the Redwoods Hoodie!
Soft shell tacos, mild sauce - Wayne

Literally watch any film from even as late as the 90s and early 2000s, dudes were still learning how the play the game we know today. Comparing across eras is stupid.
Free throws should be from 3 point line now lol
Thatd be awesome
How ridiculous this has become,why not xd

Man yaw need to watch the 2010 game 7 Lakers vs Celtics in LA. The way they officiated that game is how all games need to be officiated. Good tough grown man basketball
The speed and letting players fly due to no touching policy is what gets players injured.
Injury cost the NBA Owners/Players and Rules Protection Of Money
The rules where changed to give foreign players a chance. Steve Nash, Dirk, etc couldn't play with the hand checking and tough defense. With the rules today Shawn Bradley would've dominant.
But Hakeem did...Mutombo did... and you're using a small sample size because for the most part, you didn't have many international players in the NBA back then as it wasn't nearly as popular as it is now. Now you have guys from all over the world. For dirk it took some time for him to get off the ground but the same applied to Kobe. The only argument you could possibly make is for Steve Nash and that's it.

They miss games for injury, before they get injured.
I don't even watch the NBA til the playoffs but I use to watch all season. It's so watered down now. Also I don't pay attention to today's scoring stats because there's no defense
Joel embiid is the worst. He literally falls 20 times a game. I play basketball but a lot of tall dudes, rarely do people fall for an actual reason. And I don't care is excuse that it reduces injuries, he's always injured!
When they talk about training and health, they should have EXPERTS on the panel
Can sumbody plsss tell me what professional nba team the dude with the crown played for 😂😂😂😂
Bruh .... McCant afford jordans... stole the whole show 😂😂😂 wheeew ngggaaaa I hit the floor
McCants was a scrub when he played
No he wasn’t and he played unlike you
This is how Tim Grover trained MJ and Kobe. I got these young dudes in comments telling me about advanced training techniques 😂. Yet, most of these news dudes can’t even stay healthy. Notice Jimmy Butler doesn’t have all these injury issues. He’s an old school lunch pail player. Lebron does a lot of free weight and kettlebell work.
Listening to McCants gives me a headache I can't believe he went to a major university washout yes I can!
Blame the malice in the palace for these changes. Blame Ben Wallace for being a dummy. Blame the Detroit fan for throwing a drink at a manic like Artest. Blame the source of where all these crack Down started to happen.
