He did do some shit that would never EVER work in an NBA game. His drive into traffic and jump/spin 360 pass thing is going to get taken the other way and that's if he doesn't just get straight up thrown to the ground. He did a couple of soft lay-ins on barely contested drives that would've ended up in the 1st row.
Moreover, the argument itself doesn't work. If a guy is dominating A ball, that doesn't mean he's going to be a great major leaguer. If a guy is getting his ass kicked in A ball, it means he won't be.
This is an argument that can absolutely be made to ratchet only a single direction. If a person is terrible against bad competition, that sure as hell says something about their ability to be great against good competition. If a person is great against bad competition, that doesn't say that much about their ability to be great against good competition.
This is pretty straightforward.
