Curry 62 points, Beale 60 points. Van Fleet 54 points, shooting 70 percent. Even just 50 points used to be a milestone. Even Rose had 50 points a couple years ago.
Since they don't allow defenses to be played like it was in the 90s, they aught to move the 3 point back a few feet. Sure, players might still take them, but the value of them would go down a bit.
Also, they should stop calling the ticky tack fouls. We need to get back to some real basketball. What happened to the Ronny Seikaly's, Alonzo Mournings, Dakembo Mutombo's, Shaqs, Hakeems, Ewings, and David Robinsons? Guys that could play close to the basket and post up?

How the hell do you get 20 assists in a game you didn't even break 100 :biggums:

Stop crying like bitches bro.
450 player in the NBA. You can actually count on your hands the number of players who scored 50 points. They don't even crack 10%. Which means if you can name me 45 players in today's NBA who have scored 50 points in today's era. I will support you.
Other than, go cry elsewhere.

Today's league is cake

If you can shoot, you can shoot.
Also do you know who the Maggic had in their roster against the Raptors. Or that doesn't count?
You realize Aaron Gordon is out, Jonathan Isaac is also out, Fultz is also out. So they have basically nobody on their roster. Which would explain why it was so easy for Vanvleet to free himself up.
Stop discrediting this era just because you want MJ to be the GOAT so bad. Listen fool, his time is already up.

It's not just FVV though. How many players are shooting their career fg% and 3fg% this year?

Some of it has to do with the few amount of fans at away games.
Less pressure, distractions.
The noise of a fully packed MSG or TD Garden is just something else.

I don't know why people can't acknowledge this. It's an exhibition league.

You have yet to answer me. You are convinced that 45 out of 450 players scored 50 in today's nba? It's only 10% though
Can you give me an answer please?
Name them please and thanks
