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.

Actually 3 pointers are more common and higher % than ever in recent years if I remember correctly.
Bill Laimbeer, a C, shot 33% from 3 for his career (same average as Jordan). Bird SF/PF had a 38% average for his career. Ainge closed at 38%, Byron Scott at 37%, Chris Mullin 38%, Mark Price >40%, Dale Ellis at >40%, Hornacek >40%, Steve Kerr >45%, Glen Rice 40%, Reggie Miller nearly 40%. More recently Nash will close at around 43% and Ray Allen at 40%.

As you can see claiming that Jordan's era was 'different' doesn't mean that Jordan was certainly not a great 3pt shooter compared to his peers. He was decent, just not great. In today's NBA he wouldn't be Josh Smith-level terrible, but pretty terrible anyways.

No way that the shots Allen takes for Boston/Maimi etc. can be compared with the shots Kobe takes. It's like playing horse versus playing crunch.


Yes, you are completely right - good shots Allen take are more valuable than bad shots Kobe take.

Does it make Allen better player than Kobe? No it does not. But the fact you are trying to overvalue the bad shots just does not make any sense in basketball.

You should probably noticed already that volume of messages you post does not necessarily convert into the volume of balls you get. Think about it. Good shots versus bad shots. Not the same?

What you don't understand


Think twice every time before trying to show your superiority. Smart people don't think others are stupid.

Much :)

But now find anywhere I said something bad about MJ or Kobe or any other volume shooter. They are great. I enjoy every aspect of their game. And even I do like their extraordinary ego. They are personalities. They are not only playing basketball. They are creating it. Basketball was not the same before MJ. And I think he is the greatest of all time. So how I can not give him credit for taking his team to 6 championships? :)
