NBA players shooting abilities has greatly deterioated in the last 5 years

[frostno98]

The NBA totals is a great reflection of that. You don't see 221-225 lines anymore, rarely even see a 220 that hits.

[You mad bro]

just like your handicapping skills

I did 50 1$ bets at 5dimes on basketball randomly guessing, only hit 20. You can't cap basketball just get lucky like blackjack.

40% is what 50% used be.

Pathetic.

I don't watch any of it.

[BigDofBA]

I would say last 10 years.

Game gets worse because it's watered down.

We still have some great players but the teams aren't what they used to be.

Frosty NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Players are better...

Defenders are better...

You telling me Manute Bol or Shawn Bradley would play today???

Go look at Dominique Wilkins dunks from the dunk contest People thought that was amazing

You guys understand evolution? Player pool much bigger = More good players...

Chris Mullin would struggle to get a shot off today... He's a Hall of Famer that played on the "Dream Team"...

Now Boxing, that's a sport that is struggling...

Define "better."

More talented? Yes. I wouldn't go beyond that, though.

he means the fact that the blacks can jump an extra 3 inches means better

other than that the teams in the earlier days would absolutely manhandle these teams now

complete joke of a talent pool now

[homie1975]

It's been going on much longer than 5 years. More like 12 years

[InTheDrink]

fyi the average nba team is scoring over 100 pts per game for the third time since 1995

so what the fuk is this about again?

[InTheDrink]

also this year is currently the 6th highest effective fg% of all time which accounts for 3s being shot compared to 2s....basically measures point per shot to put it simply

you gueys are retards

if theyre missing more its only because theyre taking more 3s

[lunch]

coaches must play defensively or else thtey get fired

Man why you gotta come in here with your facts and numbers and statistics and whatnot.

[Chi_archie]

I think it is perception and selective memory about the "good ole days" from fans

like would you be surprised to know that Larry Bird and Mike Conley jr have about the same exact career 3 point shooting percentage?

Bird was just .376% lifetime behind the arc

anyone 7 feet plus plays in the nba

Do you forget yao ming dominating the "current" generation and he sucks.

Hakeem, robinson , ewing, malone, barkley, would eat these kids up.

Kevin love dominates these bums and you think Mullin could not get a shot off...

The players suck thus why they need to bring all these international players in.

BS numbers

Take a look at the top 25 in scoring all shooting 40 % except lj/kd and guys who don't shoot.

Lot less players scoring 20 a game lot less scoring 25 +

Just cause kids and minorities watch it on tv don't make it a good product. Can't really be that many stupid white people left. There mostly watching nfl/mlb/nhl

bingo

[Chi_archie]

game used to be faster paced

they threw up more shots

didn't hit a higher %

[iifold]

Clyde Drexler shot like 30% from 3...

Squares in Portland thought they had Michael Jordan on their hands...

Sure he was good against Michael Adams and the bullets, or Kiki Vandeweghe and the Nuggets in a wide open game...

He'd be just an above average player today...

[Chi_archie]

how would Kevin Mchale's game and physique translate in today's game?

all star and hall of famer?

would he average 26.1 in a career year?

[No coincidences]

Game? Better than ever. Physique? No way.

[Chi_archie]

he'd be crafty with those 5 pivots and 4 pump fakes and get the job done

[InTheDrink]

So much for bringing facts into this thread

Gamblers who think the eye test is more important than facts

[inter1097]

the NBA's been unwatchable since the 90's.

[Chi_archie]

drinker, look at this guy!!!

he'd drop 34 a night if he played today

and he's old now!!!

[pavyracer]

Defenses are much tougher now. Not many people foul out because of the great defense.
