I would say 3 didgit JR.

Seriously.

I mean c'mon. Either that or the average OD in the NBA is around 2.....(well this might be true of some dudes)...


You're exaggerating. It wouldn't take much more than 70 JR to shoot from three like Reggie did.

Two more skill-ups for Hester. Skill sum is 62 already. JR and IS both are 8 at the moment. He is doing very well so far.

Btw, Micheal Jordan was not a good three point shooter. In 9 seasons his 3pts % was below 30%. In 5 seasons below 20%. So I dont see, how you can rate his JR so high.

At the same time, Lebron can knock Jump Shots from almost half-court. And does that with reasonable %. He already made two times more three-pointers compared to MJs whole career. And did it with higher %. So, to be true to basketball, Mike can not have higher JR than Lebron.

And Mike was probably best SG in the post. Much better than Lebron. And he actually scored so many points after post-up plays. So double-check the facts and some video material if you do not remember MJ playing live :)

As I remember, MJ was rarely forced to do something he did not want to. He forced the defense to collapse and then made a shot he wanted. Anyway, I was not comparing MJ to good spot up shooters. Only to Lebron, who is not a spot up shooter either.

Once again I will help you, as you once again forgot to double check the facts.

The NBA adopted the three-point line at the start of the 1979–80 season. This is of variable distance, ranging from 22 feet (6.7 m) in the corners to 23.75 feet (7.24 m) behind the top of the key. During the 1994–95, 1995–96, and 1996–97 seasons, the NBA attempted to address decreased scoring by shortening the overall distance of the line to a uniform 22 feet (6.7 m) around the basket. It was moved back to its original distance after the 1996–97 season.

Shorter line in three seasons. MJ was shooting 50%, 42.7% and 37.4% these seasons. After reseting the distance, his % dropped back to 23.8%.

and I will just remember to you, that MJ was playing baseball in 94. And played only 17 games that season back to the NBA. Shot only 32 times from the distance. So to rely on this season is not the best idea I would say :)

In 94, the year they got rid of handchecking, he shot 50% from 3. Its really been since then, since they changed D rules that guys starting shooting more etc. from 3. Cuz they can get open easier.


My final statemant to you - MJ did not play any game in the NBA in 1994 calendar year.

Double check the facts next time.
