1X2 tipster Kevin Garnett: Players from 20-30 years ago would not be able to keep up with the current pace

Minnesota legend Timberwolves and Boston Celtics champion Kevin Garnett praised the modern style of play at the National Basketball Association. The 15-time participant in the All-Star Game expressed doubts that the basketball players from 20-30 years ago would have kept up with the pace of today`s colleagues. Garnett named the German giant Dirk Nowitzki as one of those who changed the game, and specifically for the guards he took Steph Curry, Clay Thompson and Damien Lillard as examples.
`Right now the game is at a completely different level. I don`t think players from 20-30 years ago would have kept up with the pace of today`s basketball. 20-30 years ago defenders could use their palms to protect an opponent. But now they have no right andthis makes defensive play almost impossible. Can you imagine not `hand-checking` Michael Jordan? The fact that you can`t touch a player in attack gives a greater chance to attacking players.
If you have the necessary creativity and ambition, you can become a very good striker. Retractable shooting, `floaters`, single-legged shots - these are all things that Dirk Nowitzki brought to the game. And now, when I look at Nikola Jokic, I think he took these qualities from Dirk and mixed them with his own talent. Steph Curry, on the other hand, made a complete revolution in long-range shooting. Clay Thompson and Damien Lillard, too - they all changed the game. I have no idea whether the guards from 20-30 years ago will be able to cope with the current ones. There is already more creativity. Someone can fake you so badly that you break your knee ligaments. The game predicted by contacts with live matches is in good hands, `KG said in an interview with the New York Times
