When today's player catches the ball on the elbow, they see open space and wide open strongside because shooters on weakside draw defenders away from strongside:

Otoh, when previous era players caught the ball on the elbow, they saw bodies... No one was spacing the weakside so all 10 players were bunched up on strongside or in the paint - with the lane too crowded to penetrate, players were often forced to pull-up for midrange jumpers:

Today's wing player has shooters spacing the weakside to take defenders away from the strongside (as seen here (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11708948&postcount=64)), whereas players in previous eras didn't get weakside spacing, so all 10 players were bunched up on the strongside (as seen here (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11709109&postcount=79)).

Starting to believe 3ball is Bruceblitz. I refuse to acknowledge that there is another person this crazy

Outside of a small percentage of trolls, nobody really think MJ couldn't play in today's era.

Who the hell really believes MJ couldn't play in this era? His best traits would still be elite-level in this era.

3ball has serious psychological issues. I feel sorry for the guy. :(

As many people believe he couldn't as still question the theory of gravity.

These things are just beating a horse that wasn't alive to begin with.

Thing is, in 2002 before the knee injury MJ was putting up 25/6/5 on 42% shooting. Only Kobe, Iverson, and TMac as far as perimeter players go were posting better stats and those guys were at or near prime. The knee injury was what made his stats plummet to the 'most inefficient 20ppg in history' narrative that the various 'tards cling onto.

Wizards MJ would probably lead today's soft-as-Charmin NBA in scoring. Current 50+ year old MJ would still average double digits too.

I remember 3ball's first posts.

something that he was kind of new to all this basketball thing, a modern fan of sorts, and he explained how he came to the conclusion of this MJ thing by meticulously watching tape

sadly now he just copies and pastes the same thing over and over
