Is Gordon Hayward overrated?

Easy answer, teams run more motion plays now and far less posting up plays. The players are also all faster and generally stay in motion throughout the game. Playing more minutes does not necessarily equate moving more. I can play infinite minutes and not move. Teams use less of the shot clock (wasnt always a shot clock either), games are higher scoring, players run faster, jump higher and travel up and down the court more times. I could provide data for you but if your struggling with fact that the amount of minutes played is different from distance traveled that seems pointless for me to type out.

OK, Ok, Ok......... You have awakened the demons, lets go.
You said that back then you could play infinite minutes and not move, therefor playing more minutes per game, right? Wrong! = If you don't move, the coach will remove you. (Genius.) This may be news to you, but believe it or not, even though it was the 60's - 90's, there has never been an era of professionally played NBA basketball, or for that matter any level of competition basketball where one could stand on the court, do nothing, and not be taken out of the game.
You mentioned that you could provide data, but wont due to my ignorance of the game. LOL, entertain me. You also mentioned that the shot clock wasn't always around. Your right. It was introduced during 1955, so back to my theory of traveling via airplane, and NBA games being 48 minutes per game still stand.
Lets go on to your claim (that you were unable to provide data for). "The games are higher scoring". Please again provide me with the data that you were unable to provide, because I promise you that my brain can handle it. Speaking of which, lets dive in more.
NBA overall scores
1957-1971 = Avg, NBA team score 113.98 PPG
1996-2012 = Avg, NBA team score 97.0 PPG.

I am wondering if you know anything about basketball at all.

You also claimed that players today jump higher and travel up and down the court more. Unfortunately I don't have the stats available to make you look stupid like I did in your most recent claims. What I can tell you is, tell players like Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Spud Webb, Dr. J, Fred Jones, Vince Carter, Clyde Drexler, Steve Francis, James White, Darrell Griffith, Jason Richardson, & Dee Brown that players of today can jump higher. Maybe they will exchange vertical's and discuss how big of a moron you are. Maybe they won't. I am putting my money on the latter. Being a betting man, I would go all in on the Vegas tables that you receive a monthly check that is due to you on the 1st, 3rd, or the 3rd Wednesday of the month. If you don't understand what that means, for Christ sake, read a book all ready, your way over due.

So your standard insult is to ask people if they receive a cheque on the first and third ??? Your little act is old, tedious and boring. You're not even remotely clever or witty.

Apparently I have confused you and it only took one sentence to do so. Allow me to go into further detail. In the 1950's (1950 - 1959), the 1960's (1960 - 1969), and 1970's (1970 - 1979). The NBA (National Basketball Association) played the same amount of games (each team played 82 games per team per season), that they play today. (teams today play the same amount of games per season per team.) 82. (this is number that is 82 more than the number zero (0). and 18 numbers shy of the number 100.
I sure hope that this clears up all of the confusion that I left behind with my original 18 word sentence. Good luck.
