Jordan scored a higher proportion of his team's points while he was on the floor, than Kobe or Curry, while also being a far superior defender.. :confusedshrug:

Over 70% of Curry's 3-point attempts are either "open" (4-6 ft) or "very open" (6+ ft).. However, the league average is 80%, as shown above.

90's were shit though bro...


Previous eras had the ADVANCED version of the game:


no spacing, legal hand-checking, paint-camping, no flagrant fouls


Today's era has the BEGINNER version of the game:


wide open spacing, hands-off perimeter defense, no paint-camping, flagrant fouls





lots of stats i dont have with me right now prove this


3-pointers have ALWAYS needed to be more open, much more than 2-pointers - certainly, most 2-pointers aren't taken with 4+ feet of room like today's 3-pointers, as shown by the nba.com data in the previous post.. Since 3-pointers must be more open, today's teams need to run more offense, resulting in slower pace and less PPG.

Otoh, previous eras barely shot 3-pointers - instead, they settled for one contested 2-pointer after another, without needing to run as much offense.. In addition to creating faster pace, the higher proportion of 2-pointers caused MUCH higher offensive rebounding rates, which resulted in higher ORtg and DRtg.

If you removed the 3-point line from today's game, offensive rebounding rate would increase again, which would result in higher ORtg... And of course, teams would settle for more contested shots (2-pointers), resulting in less offense being run and faster pace.
