Guards from the 2000s that wouldn’t translate well to today’s style of play (alien.top)

The topic of how players adapt to the modern game is pretty common, but I generally hear how centers from the 2000s with their heavy post play and lack of an outside shot wouldn’t do well in today’s NBA. I’m wondering who you guys think are guards from that era who would have difficulty adjusting to the current NBA today.

Kobe Bryant. His rape case would put an end to his career.

You know, I think you’re right. In terms of todays cancel culture (how it’s shoot first ask questions later), I don’t know if he’d survive this. It is simply too controversial to support these people, whether right or wrong, you are at risk of being canceled if you support someone with an accusation.

People need to remember how much his death and career achievement are guiding their downvotes toward you.
