NBA Archetypes That Went Extinct

It’s just 10 days 🤷🏾‍♂️

IT aint just some random small dude tho

@@agentzeeda4421The potential to get another 10 day or a contract for the whole year is still on the table.

my mans gon dropped anyway

If we being honest he won't be around long so he's got a point.

Stockton too. The guy was indeed a pass first guy, but was an excellent scorer when he had to, including from 3 and was an excellent defender. Nowadays he would've filled a similar role to a Chris Paul. While Nash and Parker were also good scorers from all ranges (even if they weren't great defenders)

​@@franciscoduran4618 Nash especially would have dominated if he played in this era, he would easily average 27 and 10 if not better

​@@RIPJimmyA7Xyou glazing it. That's not his mentality

​@@no.con.dom15 It probably would be if he played today.

yeah bro, they were scorers too ... Tony parker was the super fast lay up and flotter god, he's more like a Kyrie than a pass guy.

Bro did NOT just call Jokic a back to the basket big. Half of his shots are pull-up middies and threes. There really isn't any real back to the basket bigs. Some "power forwards" (quotes because they be those guys who play PF and be 6'8) have that back to the basket mentality (don't ask for names cuz I don't know any of them, I just seen them n highlights), but no centers in today's NBA come to mind when I think of back to the basket bigs

@@mateohammer67 You watch the Nuggets?

Its not an archetype of only the stars do it. When role players start being specialized in the post again we are talking. I think it died with Jahlil Okafor

@@SiccazHD There aren't many role players who specialize in one on one scoring in general. I'd say the best you would get, Even historically, is a third option with significant post skill. We have a few of those guys, Vucevic, Valanciunas, Ayton (though people like to laugh at him, this is one of his main strengths), Nurkic

@@SiccazHDI’ve heard Okafor was someone who could post up and hardly do anything else. Could Enes Freedom also be someone like that?

Rebound and catch lobs tbh

He’s a paint beast

Hes a pnr center

@@ssjsal2159stop using these dumbass 2k terms and go play some ball outside damn

Harden made him look good fr fr

Darius Garland, Jalen brunson, hell Mike Conley is still in the league all this time later and he is only bout 6 foot 6 1 and anyway their have never been that many small guards in the league at one time

Trae is 6’1

Look at his height at the combine buddy

That’s still pretty tall I’m that height especially with shoes we can reach 6’0-6’1

​@@GodlyZaeHe listed at 6'1 likey listed AI listed at 6 foot but they both at best 5'11

She finna leave you midgame for Austin Reaves

yall have no real game and rely on being tricks and your whiteness to get any where with bitches@@Cyantist13

Got signed to suns

He’s back

Jit hard

Hope they buff defense in the next patch

Nah that's a stupid asf take defense will become more popular along with offense

do y’all watch the celtics

timberwolves rn are hella defensive

​@@ddylanchanthe rules heavily favor offense tho

Fr you gotta be all around to even be decent in the nba or your just gonna get exploited everytime you get on the court (ben simmons)

@@simeon8967facts Ben Simmons can do everything BUT shoot and he is trash simply because of that alone 😂

Tyrese Haliburton

@@AllTimeTay8tyrese haliburton can pretty much do everything tho

Eh, Stockton was a pretty good bucket-getter when he had to (plus an excellent defender to boot), it's just that Jerry Sloan's system asked him to set his teammates first and foremost and since 1. He was elite at finding the open teammate and 2. He had an elite finisher in Karl Malone, he didn't have to score as much. But he could take over scoring duties without much of a problem, like, for example, game 6 of the 96-97 Western Conference finals where he cooked the Hakeem/Barkley/Drexler Rockets in the fourth quarter (including the game-winning dagger) almost by himself.

Nah actually the three point shooting has increased the value of the midrange offense

@@i_fuze_hostages6yep

Low-key SGA is one since he does most if his damage at the rim. Close shots, floaters, pumpfakes, all of it.

While the midrange shot has gotten way less valuable, it hasn’t died yet, and it is absolutely a great skill to have in this current age. Think about all the elite mid range scorers on recent championships teams. Jokic, Murray, Middleton, Kawhi, KD, Kyrie. Most of the recent champions rely heavily on midrange scorers when offense gets stagnant. Being able to get a reliable two points without have to create offense is extremely valuable. The difference between those guys and DeMar is that they are all also great shooters, while DeMar isn’t. The midrange shot gets increasingly less valuable if the scorer isn’t reliable from deep, it makes it harder to get to your spots and it takes away the possibility to get to the rim. Fortunately DeMar is also a great passer for his size, which is another way to create spacing and allow yourself more room to score, so I do actually think there is a world where he can contribute to a championship level team.

nah the best niggas shoot there

He can shoot a lil bit but that's about it

@@averageproblemno he cant

@@mintyy304 when I mean lil bit, I mean not that good

@@averageproblemJohnathan Isaac

Matisse Thybulle

This isn't good for African-Americans

Nga what??? you tweakin

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, James Harden, Devin Booker, Steph Curry (maybe), Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic, Jamal Murray, Anthony Edwards, and Damian Lillard are all players that self-create shots at a high volume. Some of them create more from 3 than mid range, but overall these are all players like that.

@@damageisdumbthis dude doesn’t know what he’s talking about😂

@@damageisdumbfacts it’s just easier to score due to space so percentages are up

Caris levert

For 10 games.

@@jamaljames1598 was still picked up wasn't he? there's also Jalen Bruson's who exist in the NBA ... Trae Young, Darius Garland, etc

@@the77th if they pick you up for ten games, something tells me that they don’t really need you.

Seen that fuckin Frenchman tear apart my heat with nothing but automatic floaters

Exception isn’t the rule

@@donnyg9993 Trae young? TJ McConnell? Darius Garland? Collin Sexton?

@@______yawn6419 that’s 4 guys out of 400 in the league. The only way small guards can stay in the league nowadays is if they’re an all-NBA talent or they’re relegated to backup roles like McConnell

@@donnyg9993 but that's always been the rate within the NBA in recent years tho. the laegue has always been dominated by larger players so any player 6ft2 and under is going to have to be a talent. ive given you 6 players that are 6ft2 or under and that's excluding people like CP3, kyrie or tyrese maxey the point is these naming all these player can't be the exception it just means his point is wrong

@@______yawn6419 you named exclusively all stars, which is my point. You can’t be an average NBA player below 6 foot 3. And now that we’re seeing taller guards like Cade who can do all the PG duties while being more versatile on defense, smaller guards are gonna have an even harder time finding a place in the league

you don't watch the games

Bro Anthony Edwards exists.

@@KyryanRoselmao homie didn’t watch yesterdays game

Paul George lmaoo

Ja and Ant Man

I don’t think he said that I think he was saying don’t be a one trick pony and the nba right now u need a least a decent jumper to go along with great defense

Yeah I rok wit Bros channel but when it comes to hoop he's another one of these young dudes who doesn't care about defense, hustle, heart the sh!t that wins games all he cares about is "having a bag"

Im literally tryna figure out why he said he hates ppl that play good defense

Bro no amount of defense in the world can stop Steph, Giannis,KD, Lebron or Embiid. The only way to combat them is to match them on offense. No one in their right mind will choose Dennis Rodman/Jarred Vanderbilt over Iverson/James Harden, or even Draymond/ Ben Wallace/ Rudy Gobert over Nikola Jokic/Dirk Nowitski, Look at how teams play Draymond and Russ, you don’t think Rodman would get the same treatment?

Whatever flaws Rodman had scoring, he more than made it up with his offensive rebounder. Plus, he was a decent passer from the post. As long as the other 4 guys weren't trash scorers, you could easily get by.

Tbh good riddance because that hurts the offense more. Unless they type to have a bad field goal but good True shooting percentage.

Hilarious you say this when Luka already has the same seasons averaging over 20 shots per game than Melo does in his entire career.

​@@DarkSideMaceWinduLuka can also playmaker at an elite level in which Melo has never been able to

The point about middies being beautiful is so true, and I don’t even know why. Like middies aren’t as flashy as dunks or as impressive as a deep 3, but it feels so good to watch one. I remember just watching mj highlights just to see them.

Nah it ain’t dead. All superstars in the game today have a lethal mid range game. It’s what separates the starters and stars.

i wanna see another Shawn Livingston

@@artrimiks I don’t think that is quite accurate. The midrange is the dumbest shot to take statistically no matter how good you are at it, it always makes more sense to drive for a layup or step back into a three. Superstars just have more leeway in their shot selection. They don’t have to worry about getting benched if they take too many middies, and they take more shots than other players

@@duubiousdisc The midrange shot isn’t a dumb shot. the “long 2” is the dumbest shot because of the difficulty of shot vs return. Because why not step a foot back and nail a 3? defenses today know to protect the paint and to run shooters off the 3. todays stars feast off that open middle area. Every single superstar in todays game has a very capable midrange game. Stars get that leeway because of how skilled they are scoring at all 3 levels.

Shut tf up, ur not him

Duncan Robinson ain’t going nowhere

Nah these guys actually suit this era really well

Nah those guys will always have a spot in a league that prioritizes perimeter scoring. You can never have too many shooters to space the floor

Also Jacob gilyard and marquis nowell

trae young shorter than both of em

Right like a lot of guys even today in the NBA that are listed 6ft 6'1 even 6'2 really be like 5'11 or a tall 5'10

@@johndavis9321not “a lot”

Look at that, looks like we have another person who underestimates nba players 💀💀

Yes the requirement for the game has gotten better. Short players will no longer be in the big levels.

He also was very inefficient scoring and relied a lot on high volume (plus, he was a mediocre defender at best). While he could still easily thrive nowadays, he would still need to evolve his game a bit to remain a superstar.

@@franciscoduran4618 a high volume shooting player would be fine if they have great true shot percentage.

And truth be told, guys like Dream, Ewing and Robinson, who most people associate with the post-game still were more than decent scorers from beyond the paint and had good enough shooting form to develop a decent three point shot if they played nowadays.

And prime Shaq would still thrive nowadays because he was 350-pound behemoth with speed and agility to boot. That would still make him a mismatch today (plus, him, alongside the other guys I mentioned above we're still excellent defenders and rebounders)
