Someone like Lebron basically gets it now due to his superstardom but that's rare.

It’s just as stupid as people comparing Brunson’s high scoring games to MJ in 1993.

It’s far easier to score in this era.

complete bs my man. so you’re basically saying any stats, accolades and accomplishments accumulated in this era should be thrown out/asterisks because the 90s was such a superior era.. correct? why even watch the league any more if that’s the case

No not thrown out.

But big scoring numbers don’t hit the same as they used to.

It’s not even about the 90s being a superior era or anything like that.

Scoring has just never been easier and that’s a fact.

Something tells me you weren’t running with this narrative when Tatum was dropping 51 in the ECF last season.

There’s plenty of vhs tapes for you to indulge in to get your 90s ball fix if you wanna be the bitter old man that yells at the clouds.

you’re not getting it

guys like lebron, jokic, antman, tatum, curry, etc can easily do what brunson is doing

they just aren’t, but they could — but they’re not, but the idea that they could is on the table

it just won’t happen, but maybe it might

I said it before and I will say it again.

Brunson >>> Joe L Embiid.

To me he is the third best player in the NBA - Luka and Embiid are comfortably ahead of him.

The people hating on Brunson is actually respect. They are just to petty to admit that Brun is the real deal because of the team that he plays for

are you one of those people who agrees that it's more difficult to play defense today and also somehow believes that doesn't correlate to it being easier to score today? or do you think defense and opponent's offense are completely unrelated? or do you think defense is easier to play today than in the 90s? if so, i'd love to hear that case.

Brunson is such a damn talented scorer. Just a bucket. He's really perfected many of his go to shots.

Steph Curry and LeBron James have had far better performances in the playoffs.

It’s also pretty strange to get offended at dudes saying others could do it if in a similar situation to Brunson unless you think Brunson is like the undisputed best player in the league which would be hilarious. He has to score a heap because the Knicks don’t have a great deal of offence outside of him. Other players don’t because their teams have more offence.

then what's b.s. about saying it's easier to score in this era? is it easier to play defense now? more difficult? or the same? any argument about scoring must have corresponding ideas about defense. for instance, i think it's much more difficult to play defense today than ever before (for a variety of reasons). i also believe it's easier to score today than it has been in a long time, certainly easier than in the 90s.
