See that's the thing - practicing 3-pointers takes 1 off-season, or could even be acquired mid-season - it's just taking a few hundred jumpers off a rack
Otoh, 2-pointers are scored in infinitely more diverse ways - it's real basketball - and therefore can't be practiced or acquired over a short period of time
So you made my point in highlighting the difference between real basketball and gimmicky shit that can be acquired in one off-season

Wow is this true? As soon as the 3 point line was no longer shortened he shot 24% for 3 years?
Can anyone confirm this?

Did you know that Westbrook has the postseason record for most three attempts in a half (15) and game (19)?

Wow you weren't kidding I thought it was just a troll.
Jordan really shot 24% from 3 as soon as the 3-point line was no longer shortened at WNBA distance and moved back to NBA regulation distance

^^^ That's what happens when players get used to threes at a shorter distance and all of a sudden the line gets moved back 4 feet - you'd understand this better if you'd played at least varsity ball, but you're a scrub.. :confusedshrug: ........ :roll:

how much volume did MJ shoot that year in 98'?
Because he was always a good 3-point shooter anytime he had volume and wasn't just taking bailouts - he attempted less than 1.5 threes every year except for 90' and 93' where he took 3+ attempts and shot 37.6% and 35.2%
He was also good 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)
Essentially, MJ had goat form and was a natural, so he was good at threes anytime he tried or it mattered, despite not practicing...

Ordan wasn't skilled enough, the league average barely changed after the line was revert back, 36% to 35%. Shooters like Reggie went up.

MJ only shot bailouts at the end of his career with no volume
But he was always good at 3-pointers anytime he had volume - he attempted less than 1.5 threes every year except for 90' and 93' where he took 3+ attempts and shot 37.6% and 35.2%
He was also good 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)

He took three years off after 98 to work on his three's, no difference.
