NBA Pace and Scoring is at its Highest Since '92-'93

[DonDadda59]

How inflated are modern day players' stats?

Discuss.

[LoneyROY7]

As inflated as MJ's prime numbers I guess.

Thank you Based Curry.

'16 Warriors Pace: 99.6
'96 Bulls Pace: 91.1

*Highest Pace Jordan's Bulls played was 99.4 (His rookie season), during the first 3-peat the Bulls played in the 92-95 range, during the second 3-peat it was 89-91. Slow as molasses *

How much more gaudy would the GOAT's stats have been if he was getting 100 possessions per game to work with?

I'd assume pretty damn GAUDY.

Damn this thread made me go check out Steph Curry's per 100 possession stats compared to Michael Jordan...

Stacks up well. Looks pretty even with Jordan's 3 peating years.

Kind of a useless stat IMO.

In reality, Curry with 100 possessions on the Warriors = 30 PPG, Jordan with 95-96 possessions on the Bulls= 35-37 PPG (while being DPOY).

Unreal.

Scary.

Terrifying.

How many 4th quarters did Jordan sit out though?

Curry already has 14.

Don't know the exact #, but I know he sat out a good number in '96 seeing as how the Bulls had a +12.3 points differential (Warriors currently are at +12.6).

91.1 Pace- 30.4 PPG (50% FG) at age 33.

AMC theatres.

Popcorn's on the house.

If my math is correct, Jordan averaged 40 minutes a game and if quarters are 12 minutes long, he couldn't of sat out many 4ths at all.

but what does that have to with pace or per possession stats?

37.7 MPG while playing at a 91.1 Pace.

Chef Curry was only putting up 23 PPG playing 38 MPG on a 94.5 Pace a few seasons ago.

Stats getting inflated as shit.

Well Dada didn't want to use per possession stats.

He is posting averages and the pace, but it's not accounting for minutes per game played.

Jordan played at a slightly slower pace, but he also played a lot more minutes than Steph Curry. They counter act each other and Jordan still wound up with more possessions per game than Steph Curry, even while playing at a slower pace.

12-13 was well before Curry hit his prime.

We talking bout the present Curry.
