Check out Jabbar in 1980 or Worthy in other Laker years.
Tony Parker was series MVP in the finals 3 years ago.

You can train passing for big men. You just don't want to. It is as simple as that.
U r joking me right? Give me a reasonable way to train PA my C's without having to act like a farm team. Even the farm teams having hard time to train there big men on PA couz as we all know its very slow for tall players.

Tony Parker. Well he was the MVP, but u forget to mention that he is playing with a player that when he will retire will go down as the best PF ever, even if on my eyes he is C. Parker barely mentioned as a HOF, and all saying that he is young, he has time for that. Also passing or 3pt shooting are not his strong points either. If u have watched some games of the Spurs u could see that the actual creator for them was Manu not TP.

About the Lakers. I already mentioned ''since magic''

In real life game when u have a dominant SB in u r team then it prevents the guards driving to the basket, therefor leads them on bad outside shots. Thats This is what i mean offensive flow disruption.

Anyway i think that is fair to ask some more skills that we will be able to train as a big men trainers,(C or C/PF positions) just like passing or JS. If u tweak something from those then monsters like Cardenas will be history. The managers will looking for more balanced players if that will make them equally or more useful without having to pay those monster salaries that the elite Cs are getting.

Well u r right about that but they didnt take on there considerations when they changed the value of the guards and how diminished the role of the big men as a main options on scoring. I love all around players but is much much easier to find a complete guard than a complete C, and if u find one then u have to sell u r half team to buy him. Thats why more and more teams using outside attacks than inside, with big men being just role players.

Big changes on the training its hard to be made for sure, but again what is happening right now its not the ideal either.

I agree with you on that. It seems a lot of people are still denying that outside players have an enormous advantage over inside players in the new GE. They're constantly giving the same old offensive flow argument even after they've been given examples where flow was currently not the issue.

The problem is there aren't too many example to show, and this has done little to support your point.

Well explain me then what happened on my game against Gold Towers. Why my star SG went 0-10? etc. For got sake i played run and gun against team who where playing 2-3 zone and my guards had terrible shooting. Someone gave a game that 1 team played LI and the other 1-3-1 and still lost.

About the training. I am arguing for the fact that when u train big men then u can train only 4 skills without put them out of there positions. The guards have 7. Does that sounds fair to you? Actually u can have a great guard with 40k salary. To have a great big man u need 100k+. Thats why am asking for some tweaking, or more balance guards/bigs

Do you think your offensive flow is too low at your level? And honestly what do you expect if your outside scoring was average (med) against OD of strong (low) and your SG couldn't pass to someone else but forced to shoot?

The long debate stems from the fact that Shotblocking was less useful before the most recent slew of game engine changes. And since people still seem to refuse to train it, it's hard to make an accurate


maybe that could be point of the fact that the player who have it, don't "use" it.

Or maybe people have unrealistic expectations about it. I don't know.


my expectations would be that this skill is rth the money you pay for it - else i wouldn't pay for it and don't train it like most managers do.

1st i was facing the best team in CBBA and his offensive flow wasnt that better either. So even if for a div 1 team i am on par with the other teams of my division.

Passing actually wasnt an issue for my SG. He had 6 assists. Game high. My problem is why a SG with 70k salary went 0-10? Ok Atmatzidis is better than him, but not by much. Also my strong med failed against respectable high

I agree, though my impression is that people only look at the number of blocked shots per game, and conclude it's not sufficient to justify training shotblocking. As Charles pointed out, they seem to ignore the fact that great shotblockers, especially at the inside positions, tend to disrupt a significant number of shots by rotating over. Disrupted shots are almost universally a miss (they seem to have a very, very low chance of going in).

And of course, if you don't train SB up, it's not going to work -- this is a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.
