“Can’t Even Play Back to Backs”: Michael Jordan Era Comparisons to New NBA Generation Shut Down in Emphatic Style by Comedian

There has been an ongoing conversation on which NBA era has the best players. While some criticize how the modern league has become soft, others argue about the players of the 80s and 90s era being overrated. Another new opinion has been added to the conversation. Famed comedian Aries Spears gave an apt response to clap back at 90’s players criticizers. 

During his recent interview with DJ Vlad, the actor was asked about the latest trend of discrediting 90’s players, that is making rounds. The host also highlighted Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson’s bold claim that he can average 40 points in the current NBA. In response to DJ Vlad’s questions, Spears highlighted how ’80s and ’90s players will continue to be the legends of the game. Furthermore, he made an odd comparison to the NBA legend to make his stance clear.

Spears said, “Come on man these players today to me are made of fiberglass.”  He further added how Michael Jordan and players from “the 80s and ’90s were durable and they played all 82 games these n***** can’t even play back to backs knock it off.”

In the latest interview, Lakers star Shaquille O’Neal also expressed that while it was natural for the fans to be unimpressed by the players from the previous eras, the greatness of the legends will remain the same.

Allen Iverson claims that he would lead the NBA scoring race in the current era

The Answer recently made an appearance in O’Neal’s podcast. While reminiscing the previous era with O’Neal, Iverson discussed how the game used to be physical in the past. Furthermore, he also shared how much the game rules have changed over the last few years. Speaking of the current NBA, Iverson claimed that he would be able to average 40 points if he played in this era. “I lost the scoring title to Kobe [Bryant] the year he averaged 35. I averaged 33. I’m just thinking to play in this era, if I was to play in this era with it wide open, If I can average 33 in a season, I’m gonna take it up to 43. I know 10 more points,” said Iverson. The Big Aristotle also agreed with him. 

However, soon ESPN analyst Brian Windhorst criticized Iverson’s game saying that he would be “heavily criticized” if he played in the current era. Windhorst’s comment sparked another line of NBA legends dropping by to defend Iverson. As it seems, there’s no end to this debate. What is your take on this?
