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

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

    40% is what 50% used be.

    Pathetic.

    I don't watch any of it.

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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...

    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?

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