Kawhi won ECF with 34% threes on 5 attempts.. MJ won 92 & 93 Finals w/ 41% on 4.3 att

[3ball]

and 39% on threes in 93' playoffs on 3.8 attempts

so MJ already shot better than Kawhi while winning rings... :whatever:

He simply didn't give a shit about threes - but he wasn't going to shoot bad when it mattered, or lose because he wasn't shooting threes well enough.. heck, MJ shot better than kawhi's 34% in the 85-93' playoffs as a whole - 35.2% on 2.2 attempts.

So MJ was a better mid-range shooting, better 3-point shooting, and better scoring and clutch version of Kawhi.. :bowdown:

You needed a great team to make the Finals in MJ's era and ANY era..

Only in the 2000's did 5 weak teams make the Finals and get destroyed (Dwight, AI, Lebron, Kidd twice).. but even though a strong cast wasn't needed to make the Finals, lebron lost in 09/10 and stacked the deck from 11-18' to ensure Finals runs...

Now that his superstar casts are gone, stars like Kawhi are making the Finals again with a weak casts like before lebron's collusion

Btw, Ibaka > Horace, Lowry > Paxson, and Siakam is pretty close to 90' or 91 Pippen - MJ won in 90' and 91' with young, developing casts - pippen wasn't in his prime yet, just like Siakam

That's what makes him such a fakkit. He legit doesn't even enjoy basketball, he just tries to tear down every player he sees as a threat to his beloved MJ. LeBron's obviously been his obsession going on 5 years, but now he's doing this with Curry, Kawhi, Giannis etc.

And Kawhi just had his best serie ever against a team with guys who were All-Star this year or the year before. Remind me which team did this during MJ's carreer?

LeBron averaged 17/12/7/2/1 through the first 3 games and 30/9/8/3/1 through games 4-6. Lets also not forget that Allen's shot was only possible because LeBron scored 16 points on 7-10 shooting in the 4th and his 3 made Allen's 3 possible.

To put that in perspective, Ordan 24/5/3 on 37% over games 4, 5, and 6 in the '96 Finals, including 22 points on 26% shooting in the clincher. Needed his teammates to carry him to the championship.

Yes, because all that matters is how many points you score. It doesn't matter at all that Pippen was, first, hurt during all three playoff runs in their second threepeat or ,second, that he was also the best defensive player on the floor. He scored 17ppg on 40.8% so he's garbage. You are a toddler when it comes to knowing anything about basketball.

Lol still harping on defense as if that makes up for anemic offense

And pip's defense wasn't even that good during the 2nd three-peat - he got busted up by everyone and locked down virtually no one

But it wouldn't matter anyway.. 17 on 40% is unacceptable for any 2nd option, let alone a dynasty one.. but the reality is that MJ always needed the least help to win, so it's no surprise he still 3-peated

Are you serious?

His 91' bulls attempted 5 threes per game, while the NBA average is 30 today... the most any bulls team attempted was like 12

The reality is that the "wall" that the Raps used to stop Giannis was the standard defense back then - defenders could just stay in the paint because there was no 3-pt shooting to draw them out.. that's why all good scorers back then had killer mid-range, as needed to shoot over packed paints - Giannis would never be MVP back then.. :confusedshrug:

[3ball]

Kawhi actually gets guarded at the 3PT line
Today's spacing gives defenders no chance to recover, so everyone gets open looks - even Curry shoots 80% of his threes as open (4-6 feet from closest defender) or wide open (6+ feet) - see NBA.com's stats in previous post

And 89% of NBA threes are "open" or "wide open"

So ur wrong.. MJ would be open today, more than previous eras when defenders could recover easier due to less spacing..

Comparing good mid-range shooters to Curry when he is shooting for 3 is dumb. Apples to oranges. Closer to an apples to apples comparison is looking at the 2FG%. 45% when covered very tight but goes up to 55% with a little more room.

From Nylon Calculas



The difference between many good and great teams — and, indeed, many good and great players — is what they do in the last five seconds of the shot clock when the plan breaks down. Even the most prepared teams will run into those situations, particularly against great defenses. The deeper a team gets in the 24-second shot clock, the more difficult it becomes for that team to find layup and three-point opportunities, and the ability to knock down the mid-range jumper thus becomes king.

I'm not comparing curry to mid-range

I'm just pointing out that curry is open for most of his threes, and shoots poorly on all contested jumpshots, threes or mid-range

Since Curry needs to be open, his value goes down as the shot clock winds down because "the deeper a team gets in the 24-second shot clock, the more difficult it becomes for that team to find layup and three-point opportunities, and the ability to knock down the mid-range jumper thus becomes king" (nylon calculus - see previous post)..

Mid-range is contested so curry doesn't shoot anywhere near 65% - he ain't getting 80% of his mid-range open like he does for threes.. :oldlol:

He only has good percentages on open threes and open mid-range - he infact sucks at contested threes and contested mid-range

Should I post Curry's stats for contested 3 and mid-range?

[Manny98]

Mid-range is contested so curry doesn't shoot anywhere near 65% - he ain't getting 80% of his mid-range open like he does for threes.. :oldlol:

Curry's contested stats are still better than MJ moron :oldlol:

No they aren't. Not even close... What numbers are you looking at

Curry shoots 29% on tightly-contested mid-range and 39% on contested mid-range

and 80% of his threes are open


So he sucks at contested jumpshots and therefore isn't the goat shooter

[Manny98]

I just checked and he shoots 37% on contested 3s which is still higher than MJs overall 3 point percentage

Ordan can't even shoot 40% on wide open 3s :roll:

But 80% of curry's threes are open, so he's rarely shooting contested shots - only when he's already hot - so no volume

And you're just lucky MJ doesn't play today because he'd one of the best 3-pt shooters itl

Curry has GOAT off ball movement that's why he can get open so often :applause:

No, because 89% of the nba's threes are open - the spacing doesn't give defenders a chance to recover to shooters

So Curry actually does better than the league average, but getting 80% of your threes open is still a ridiculous luxury.. that spacing is no joke

So what you're saying is that Ordan was an autistic **** like you, who didn't realize the importance of the 3 point line? Got it. :cheers:

LeBron, Curry, Kawhi, KD, etc. would all shit on Ordan, if he played today.

Nah, MJ had goat form and was a natural

That's why despite no practice, MJ was good at threes anytime it mattered (43% on 3.3 attempts in 91-93' Finals; 39% on 3.8 attempts in 91-93' playoffs; 35.2% on 2.2 attempts in 85-93' playoffs)

And anytime he tried (MJ attempted less than 1.5 threes per game except for 90' and 93' where he took 3+ attempts and shot 37.6% and 35.2%)

So again, MJ was good anytime it mattered and anytime he tried, despite no practice - the sign of a natural and goat shooter

tl;dr - Basketball when Ordan played was primitive AF and the idiots were just too dumb to utilize the 3pt line.

Got it. No wonder Ordan was a god awful 3pt shooter and not to mention the fact that he needed Pippen to save his career. :cheers:

he'd be more dominant with today's spacing

And also hands-off defense and freedom of movement mandates

The only question is how much over 40 ppg would he average?.. something like 43.7 seems or 42.3 or something like that

[RRR3]

He’d be DeRozan. They play the exact same way.

[LostCause]

He’d be DeRozan. They play the exact same way.

They absolutely do not play the same way

Like saying Ben Simmons plays exactly like LeBron

When you make a comment this dumb, you concede defeat

I’m clearly trolling 3ball.


Stop making me admit it :rant

Nah, dude was a massive ball hog and a cancer, who got taught how to play basketball by Pippen.

Yeah, and he would be jacking up close to 38 shots a night.
