Old School Hoopster

Apparently, I am 'old school.'

Been watching all these videos of guys showing off their basketball footwork and moves to the hoop. And been leaving a few comments .... "That's a travel." ..... "Asking to have the ball stolen" .... " Not necessary," etc. 

When did I get so critical of other's game? But I can't help thinking that those might work or get by the refs if you're Stephen Curry or Kevin Durrant, but otherwise, probably not.

Whatever happened to the legitimate jump stop / crossover step? Or the drop step? Things that didn't require some fake sleight of hand or feet?  

Old school? Well, I am of the belief that they should put a limit on the number of three-point shots that can be attempted in a game. I find it boring when five or six consecutive possessions end in a three-point attempt. I also believe that the players from the 1950's and 60's, who on old films sometimes look 'stiff,' would have been every bit as skilled as the players of today had they had the same knowledge and training methods available and had the game evolved during their time, the way it is today.
