Those baggy old man uniforms flapping around in the breeze throw me every time :) Did you hear Simmons & Russillo recapping that '93 WCF game on Simmons's podcast?

Tio

This is great stuff, I hope you're planning on following up with Dirk's evolution. It's such an interesting story line you're developing.

thuan

haven seen it, but it looks lit

Athletic Alchemy

Thanks Tao! I will try to keep a good balance ..

Tao Rodriguez-Seeger

I don't mind the non-Warriors content. I enjoy your analysis regardless. Good stuff

It essentially ended the Suns run when they traded Marion for Shaq.. the ironic thing is Kerr did it!

After this game was recently rebroadcast, one of the Warriors fans in Warriors Reddit posted one of those dumb "Who would you rather" posts, asking who would be better on the 2017-2018 Championship team: Shaq or Dirk. And all the idiot fans that we have said Shaq. And, yes, for some dumb reason it still irks me to think that there are Warriors fans who have absolutely no idea how the team's offense and defense operates, and just how bad Shaq would be in it. It would have been worse than plugging in Cousins, minus his 3 point shooting and free throw shooting. The Warriors use their centers for very specific supporting roles. There is no low post offense. There are no post ups. There are very few P&Rs (and that's not something Shaq would be good at anyhow. Centers set screens. They facilitate the offense. They take advantage of over-eager perimeter defenders and cut for easy dunks. Their main role is defense. They have to be able to rotate quickly to the perimeter as the defense shifts. Dirk may not have been very fluid, but he had range, could switch, would set screens and pass, and could space the floor.

Loving these.

José Francisco

Did you make breakdowns during the 2016 season? 🤔 I'd love to hear your takes on the finals, Draymond's ejection, Bogut's injury and Steph's ejection, as well as how the referees called games. Even though I still have PTSD from that season haha

Plissken

Dirk got his revenge in 2011

Athletic Alchemy

I’m having fun with those! 👌🏽

Abhi Kelkar

I like the comparisons with modern players, esp for those of us who got into basketball more recently

Athletic Alchemy

I get everybody wants majority Warriors stuff I will adjust moving forward. I also need to be able to record a clean feed of the games.

Randolf

I wish you do the we believe gm 6

Michel ten Voorde

This is excellent. I hardly know anything about the NBA prior to the Warriors' run, really awesome to watch.

Athletic Alchemy

hopefully NBA TV keeps pumping out the modern classics. Im not sure how much I would have to say about some of the stuff before my time. https://vimeo.com/386339511

It was unfair for sure..they were mugging Dirk off ball and Wade was getting every whistle. What made it weirder was that Wade was only year 3. Its not like it was Kobe getting the whistles or even a young Bron. But Wade form day one acted as if he was the guy and was suppose to be there.

Simhesh Shastry

Another great breakdown Alch 👌 Would love to see an 07 game if we're looking to shit on Dirk a little more lmao. Excited for that Toppin breakdown, sucks we don't have more footage of Edwards and Wiseman though. Also would love a relink to ur Edwards breakdown, haven't been able to find it

Paradox

What did you think of the refereeing? Guys like McGrady thought the finals was rigged. I thought so as well.

Athletic Alchemy

I had always remembered this being Shaq and Dwade, but going back Shaq was luck to be along for the ride! Alchemy Analysis Obi Toppin by Friday! I want to get at the very least a 10 gm sample size of each prospect.
