LeGOATest won a ring/finals MVP in a season where the league average was 18.4 3s per game on .349, as well as in a season where the league average was 34.1 3s per game on .358 shooting.

That doesn’t really mean anything though, teams that didn’t practice 3s like modern teams obviously wouldn’t be able to keep up with the current rules. It’s just math. That’s why you can’t compare eras without context.

Charles Barkley have a good shooting form. He is going to attempt more 3 pointers ala Zion.
