1990: FTs: 76.4 2s: 48.8 3s: 33.1 3pt rate: 7.6 2023: FTs: 78.2 2s: 54.8 3s: 36.1 3pt rate: 38.7 The FG percentages being the same (47.6 vs. 47.5) reflects nothing more than more three-pointers being added to the denominator of FG percentage in 2024. That's literally it. You can have every single co...

Celtics waxed them by 25, and didn't even play that well for about half the game.

He wasn't a little more efficient, he was a lot more efficient, in a way that is completely muted by looking at strict FG percentage or even strict TS. The *nature* of efficiency was also different than what you implied (Giannis is actually better than Malone in dumb 2pt percentage, but is so bad on...

Indeed, one of the things that sometimes get passed over is that raw, box score statlines that would have been seen as God-like, or at least super-exceptional in 1991 are seen as a "yeah that's nice I guess" shoulder shrug in 2024. 26/8/7 on 54 percent shooting is a borderline top 10 box s...

For basketball, X number of shots take in X minutes often connotes something different than the same quantity of shots taken in a more compressed period of time. Generally, the more shots taken in the same period of time (all else equal), the lower will be the quality of shot, etc... If Malone had p...

It really is such a talented era, isn't it?

We're discussing Rebounds professor... not Points. Ah, okay. Number of possessions influences the number of rebounding chances you get, and not the number of scoring chances you get. I can tell you are calm and thoughtful. Good work. In the Giannis vs. Malone example, the point wasn't if one was be...

Leoss, if you are interested in getting diabetes, I recommend the cookie dough brownie from Little Caesars

You will absolutely die from diabetes, but it's not a bad way to go out, because it's delicious.

TDK, you don't have any authority to demand answers from anyone.

Which mirrors the powerless station you find yourself in during regular life.

LMAO!

Anthony Mason made an all-star team and was actually, for a brief period of time, considered the prototypical "point forward".

I'm not even kidding.

lol

International players were vastly inferior to NBA players in the 90's No shit? It's almost like when the talent POOL of players expands by stupefying degrees, you can add more players without decreasing quality compared to earlier eras. The expansion of the 90s added a bunch of new teams, with mayb...

You mean the way you're trying to weasel out of a discussion (by falsely claiming TDK is lying) because you have no other retort to the point that was made? I dunno... is that what you consider alpha? :noidea: I'll be honest with you.... I didn't really read your post for content because I could te...

Abe never hung his hat on being a Wolves fan. He talked Celtic basketball (as most BWGCers do) far more often than Minnesota. He’s got nothing to gloat about To be fair (Abe term), I have a vague recollection of an old thread on ESPN (or maybe AG 1.0) where he made a gimmick thread where he was goi...

It might have something to do with the NBA having 125 international players in 2024, and 23 international players in 1992, and having an international presence approximately 812x the international presence of the 1990s.

... No moron, I did not attempt to lie.

You are doing it again.



Is this something big, strong self-proclaimed (over the internet only) "ultimate alpha males" do?

Then you guys are pretty dumb... I understand now. This is an example of why I told you yesterday that you need to learn some humility and learn how to hold Ls, because you take so many of them, even in a place like this talking about unimportant things. You attempted to lie, and got caught red-han...

Yes.
