I find interesting that basketball in its current form has exist since at least the 1950s. Does this mean there are a lot of families who have been playing basketball for decades? Do the best basketball players today come from those families?
>>153727660wait till AVRA MAN returns this friday
>>153727687I don’t think any of those players back then have kids or grandkids in the league today
>>153727687The majority of NBA players have family members who played professionally or at a high level in college, yeah
>>153727689>we did it!
>>153727687damn there are like 100+ father-son combos who have played in the nba but only one actual father-son-grandson comborick barry who played in the 1960s and 70shis son brent barry who played in the 1990s and 00shis grandson and the son of brent's brother, canyon barry who played for just an year in 2021pretty cool stuff, the nba is only like 75 years old tho so the 3 gen thing is extremely rarethere are going to be way more grandsons playing in the nba soon tho in like 10-15 years more
>LeBron James claims playing 82 games in modern era is tougher than in Michael Jordan's era>”The game is different. I want people and our fans to understand that playing 82 games in the 80s and 90s is not the same as playing 82 games in the 2020s. It’s just not,” James said.>“The way we play. The level of pace. The level of the speed we’re playing at, it’s a different game now. It’s a totally different game,” James said.uncs…
>>153727687Most NBA players are 2nd and 3rd generation athletes at this point. Genetics plays a much bigger role in basketball success and getting deep into the AAU circuit where most players are scouted and developed requires money and connections. Even someone like Kyrie Irving who is a "small" player is still 6'3, and his dad was a pro basketball player in Australia and his dad was on the same college team as Jeff Teague's dad.
>>153727753'fraid so
>>153727753Post full image
>>153727783damn theres another small player in the nba rn hes like 6'1 and his dad was pretty good too i think his name is james jr something
>>153727794Imagine being a Laker fan
gayson gaytum not being there has really freed up the BAWBston mafia and allowed them to perform constant attacks with the enemy having literally nothing to attack them back on to put them in any kind of defensive state, which led to gaylen clown unironically being considered a mvp candidatepretty crazy
>>153727805imagine losing fmvp to jaylen brown
>>153727796Smaller players are becoming rarer and rarer too as the "cutoff" for PGs gets raised higher and higher and the old guard of "small" guys like Kyrie, CP0, and Curry retire. You are getting more Cades, Haliburtons, Luka sized point guards every year. So the genetics factor for height matters more and more.
Do you notice how much aura the NBA loses when Flagg's injured
>>153727817it was a lebron james jr joke brother
>>153727796Are you actually Indian? If so, how does someone growing up in India get into the NBA? I can’t imagine it’s super popular there
>>153727671Is your entire life sitting on the internet and chimping out at Pete Maravich threads? Sad existence
Nah that Nigga kai really on his best behavior around the European but treat his own people like we owe him something
>>153727827
>>153727888carry
>>153727827I mean, basketball is a decently popular sport in India. Obviously not as much as cricket or even football, but it’s still pretty big. In school, I used to play ball with my friends every day during recess, but that was also because you only need about 10 players for basketball, and cricket and football need 22. Growing up I just got into this sport because of my best friend who was like a massive Curry fan so I just started supporting Lebron to kinda rival him.This is going to sound kind of weird, but basketball is also kind of an upper-middle class thing in India like in the main cities like Delhi and Mumbai like actually watching the NBA and following the league and all and I did grow up pretty americanized like only watching hollywood movies or listening to american artists and only watching american or british youtubers like logan and jake paul or the sidemen etc so that played a role too I guess.
>>153727899basketball refereeing is in such a sad state that we all see a still pic like that an immediately presume the guy is mid-dribble without a second thought
>>153727906When I played in highschool our 3rd best player was an Indian kid, a speedy 2 guard with a sweet stroke, he averaged like 12 a game his senior year. We weren't terirble but weren't great either, I think our record was like 18-14, but the competition was not fierce.
>>153727906>I did grow up pretty americanizedLost your Aryan sovl. Sad.
>>153727813Is that supposed to be an insult? A Celtics player won the FMVP and NBA Finals, same Celtic player is more likely to win MVP than Luka as well your organization is pathetic
>>153727906based 'americanized' 'jeet
>>153727906I also watch pretty much every mainstream sport lol like cricket, football, basketball, tennis etc I did try to get into baseball but that was just too slow-paced for me, nfl was pretty alright tho but I only watched the superbowl and the conference final this season purely cause I thought that drake maye was kinda cool.>>153727938blame kanye west, lebron and john cena
>>153727942Im insulting jayson tatum not the celtics.

Buddy cop movies be like
Victor Wembanyama only has 4 fewer career blocked shots than Nikola Jokic.
>>153728079This looks like AI
>>153728096Jokic is definitely not a rim protector
>>153727687isn't like 10% of the league related to someone else in the league
>>153727813JaylGOD thread
>>153727782I don't really see that as that meaningful when the advancements in medical science and treatment have also massively improved since that time period
>>153728096How many of those are in the playoffs though?
>>153727689S O O NTateGOD city
>>153728018>>153728033>Didn't shoot and passed like a hoeDidn't count

move the Clippers back to SDmove the Grizzlies back to Vancouverrevive the Colonels
>>153727817meanwhile dudes like Webb and Bogues would play circles around half the current league
>>153728315I mean true even with basketball we would play like 3v3 halfcourt or even like 7v7 if there were alot of kids playing lol, I just preferred playing basketball at school ig
>>153728242consequence of needing a rare pituitary disorder for scouts to even look twice at you
LeBron is a better all time Laker than Pau
>>153728368I like how on 4chan there’s all these people from non English speaking countries who seem to speak perfect English, but when I go there literally no one can speak English for shit. I’m looking at you Spain, and Germany. And France. I bet if I went to India I’d experience the same thing, where are all the English speakers hiding
>>153728442Hes not even better than Andrew Bynum
>>153728459I got a 740 on my verbal sat and almost went to US for my undergrad but ended up not going lol. I think it’s pretty much a mixture of growing up "americanized" and being upper middle class like I was talking about earlier.
>>153728542Hate to say it but you missed out. Our universities are pretty awesome.
Lebron 16-6 against Kobe. People like to talk about what ifs but this is history
>>153728581
>>153728581Yes anon. Lebron is well past Kobe. It's been established for over a decade now. Only trauma affected blacks argue otherwise
>>153728495His, less we forget that if Bynum's knees didn't suddenly deteriorate he would have been an all-timer.
>>153728459writing and speaking are separate concepts. nobody knows how to really speak ancient Sumerian but we've pretty much completely sorted their writings. ESLs communicate with native English speakers on a daily basis online so they learn how to write it pretty well, but in their actual daily lives they rarely get a chance to speak in English so they never develop the skill.
Playoff Hornets are about to be generational
>>153728924Conference finals minimum for this year, guaranteed ring next year, complete domination for the next 10 years
>>153728581obsessed
>>153727005the media and general public hate boston>>153726234the celtics were projected to be a play-in team this year without tatum and losing kp/jrue/alhe's a good defender and carrying the offensive load for the celtics without being empty stats like fluka
>>153728869>ball hog hogs the ball
>>153729216pritchard and white are da real mvps of boston
>>153729216KD refusing to up his shot attempts and just sticks to easy middies so he doesn't lower his FG% because he's farming 50/40/90 instead of helping his team winmaxx is the story of his career.
>>153728869LeGO-ACK
>>153729382I just don’t get the LeBron glazing. He is absolutely a great player, but at no point in his entire career was he the best player in the league.
>>153729382The fact LeBron CARRIED those teams to the Finals at all was incredible.
>>153729382>>153729424>best team of the 2000s is the Lakers (Spurs close behind)>best team of the 2010s is the Warriors>best team of the 2020s so far is the Celticshow can lebron be the goat when he never had a dynasty like the other 2 GOATs (MJ, Kareem)
>>153729457>the east is a joke that has rarely been a serious conference>lebron beating that joke conference makes him the GOATpick an argument
>>153729457The fact LeBron had to create a super team to get his first ring will always be a stain on his legacy.
>>153729500His Heat years the East was serious, the Pacers, Celtics and Bulls were all serious contenders. the 07 Finals appearence was also against serious competition. 2nd LeBron Cavs tenure the East was terrible though, that I agree with.
>>153729521He had to because the Celtics created a super team, yeah it was weak by LeBron but he was never winning without a good team around him and the Cavs office failed him over and over again.
>>153729523while LeBron was in Miami>Celtics had 1 good season, 2 mediocre, and 1 shitty season>Bulls had 2 good seasons and 2 mediocre seasons>Pacers had 3 good and 1 bad seasonCeltics were also very old when LeBron was in Miami
people need to stop pretending those pacers, bulls, and washed celtics would do anything against whoever came out of the west

Zion is top 15 in PER. This is how we know PER is a bullshit stat.
>>153730052Zion has always been a very effective player when he's on the court
We need a compilation on which players stand on which side of the Magic City debate
>>153730062people are talking like they're going to be showing ass and tits mid-court. This whole "outrage" seems fake and gaypresented by fanduel
>>153729996WHOdan?
When you go to a basketball game, do you bring your own food and drink, or do you prefer to buy what they sell there?
>>153730062of course drayboon defends it
>>153730114What kind of a retard GOES to a nba game?
Is the Deni Avdija hype all manufactured? Can Ripcity ever be an actual contender?
>>153730325Is a jew all manufactured hype?
retards believe anything they see on the internet
>>153730325Bibi will make it so
>>153730097AR is doing all this is the most talented era of basketball ever while MJ played against cokeheads
it feels so good to cheat
>>153730415Luka is really going to have Reaves as his #2 option for the foreseeable future going forward next season man im cryin ahahhahahahahahahahahah
Pwat will be a laker next year
>>153730640luka was chillin with reaves as his #2 so i think he'll go back to chillin
>>153730097>anon learns Jordan was an overrated media plantdoesn't it make you the slightest bit curious that the same season the commissioner who stated he wanted to turn basketball players into rock stars was put in charge, they find some wunderkind to come out and make the rest of the league look like the Generals? from day one he's getting controversial brand endorsements like Air Jordans where the controversy is front page news across the nation? c'mon man, think.
And this is why I hate being a Dallas fan. I got mouthbreathing FAGGOTS trying to sit here with a straight face and tell me that Flagg right now is better than both Wagner and Banchero. I don't even like Wagner or Banchero like that but jesus christ the fucking copium with this fan base sometimes. I honestly feel like our fan base is slowly becoming Cowboys levels of fucking insufferable.
so Vinsanity is returning
>>153730881Paola is an overrated big for nothing bum
>>153730881It's a worthwhile argument and we certainly know every gm in the league, except maybe the magic, would take him over them
>>153730951>>153730961I'm glad we got Flagg but right now, he is not better than Banchero and Wagner combined. Only a retarded faggot would say something so ridiculous.
>>153730657You think Luka will go to bed at night thinking of how much he misses Kyrie next season when Reaves disappears against every contender they face?
>my team might face the hornets in a playoff series
thunder/knicks or celtics/hornets
Da Bulls :)
thoughts on jokic getting traded to the raptors for all our picks so nuggets can keep watson?
>>153731187I do think they could win some series but we will really learn how legit they are during their last 20 game stretch. Gotta play Celtics x3, Knicks x2, Suns x2, Spurs, twolves.
is nobody going to bring up how strip clubs prey on lonely vulnerable guys? it's always about how the strippers who chose to put on the costume and show ass feel and not how their entire business model revolves around preying on vulnerable dudes
>>153731274Get over it. Adults choosing to make bad decisions is what freedom's all about. That goes for both the whore on the pole and the loser giving away his hard earned money for nothing
East is fucking ridiculous man I cant remember a season where there wasnt a clear>yeah this team will probably win itto some degreeIt is literally completely open
>Josh Shart
>>153731038nah he'll be like "when'd kyrie turn white"
>>153731295Celtics are winning when Tatum comes back and it’s not even gonna be close
changed my mind on shai. he really the goat
>>153731363
>>153731309'fraid so
>>153731369it's over
>>153731295If the Cavs are healthy they'll win, but they'll get injured in the playoffs like the pussies they are.
What do you need to start your own basketball team?
>>153731415he's dorty
Miles Bridges' gf probably deserved it.
>>153731446money and influence
>>153731297Everyone tough until they got a thumb in they butt.
Is it really hard to get KAT some set play?Create your own shot yada yada but he need some touches
The Celtics just don't even defend DHO, just hope the other team miss.
>okc doesn't have a whistle anymoreSo it's a Spurs Cavs finals right
>>153731551>cavsBHAHAHAHAHAHA
can Jordan Walsh get some fake eyebrows like Angel Reese
that boy Miller nice
>>153731604My wife needs bull like this.
the thunder are repeating
>>153731640Good, the NBA is boring with no teams on top
Brunson is 1-8 with 2 points at the half. He looks exhausted. SGA looks tired too but is doing much better at the very least. Chet with a flamethrower first half of 22 points and 6-8 from 3
>>153731640No, my knicks will save us
The Hornets might be one player away from contending for real. They just need a better power forward to take Miles Bridges' place.
>>153731660>Miles Bridges slanderHe is literally a top 5 Hornet all time
kon makes me proud to be a BAWB
>draymond defending magic city nightJokes write themselves
Brown doesn't even aim when he shoots.The Celtics look fucking horrible how are they the 2nd seed?
>tfw you lived long enough to see the hornets become a juggernaut
Is joker gonna snap? I've never seen someone so demonic, i can see hell in his eyes
>>153731728nah he's just serbian
>Jaylen Brown dunk highlight>he's holding down the shot blocker's arm with his off arm
My Knick can’t win without Mitchell Robinson
thankfully the spurs will take care of the thunder for my Knick :)
>>153731640NBA finally has a villain brewing
>brunson goes out>knicks go on a runwoooooooow
NBA.com has been updated and now displays the playoff bracket above the standings. The 'yoffs are here
>brunson leaves>the Knicks begin a run
>>153731830I think the Hornets get at least the 7th seed. They are too good.
Kon Knipple is destroying the celtics
>>153731828>>153731832You can’t win that small in today’s game

>>153731874Mizzoula oblongata
We're getting cooked by a guy named laundry
Remember when people said the Knicks couldn’t field a good defense with Brunson and KAT being starting Guard and center? Where are those retards now? This is a championship level team.
HORNETS GOING ALL THE WAY
holy shit the Celtics just got called for a 5 second and it's only the 3rd quarter
MVP frontrunner Jaylen Brown only has 13 points
Jaylen Brown you retard
>>153732011Huh? SGA is the heavy favorite, followed by Jokic. JB is like...5th or something
>nobody will talk about the fact that OKC instantly lost their lead when Jared McCain was subbed in cuz it doesnt fit the "sixers fucked up!!!" narrative
>>153732048jaylen brown will get a big push because of boston media, the boston whites, and all the black people love jaylen brown
>>153732048Perk said Brown is the favorite.
SGA 20 POINTS HYAAAAAAAAAA
>>153732066Perk is also a mouthbreather mouthpiece for espn. He’s paid to say hot take bullshit.
My Celtics could've drafted Kalkbrenner but we got Amare Williamson instead.
>>153731779Just what this dogshit league needs. The only time the world is united is when they have a common enemy
Grizz really letting a 35 yr old Jrue Holiday go 4-5 from 3 in the 1st half on them
is brandon miller the MIP
celtics deadass traded for vuvecic instead of zubac lol
>the last 6 champs failed to reach the conference finals the next season
My wife cheats on me when our team is on road games but i secretly enjoy it
Knipple wrecking Gaylen Brown
>>153732153Steph turn off your vpn
>>153732081whooosh
>offensive foulLMAOOOOO
>>153732160You are mistaken, Curry's wife cheats on him when his team is at home and he openly enjoys it.
My hornies are finally, legitimately good and they are belting my celties :)
>>153732200He even said it himself>>153731623
Lmao Ball
This is the first year I decide to start seriously watching Basketball and I chose the Hornets before the start of the season. I love seeing them win but damn the long time fans deserve this way more than me.
>>153727647Don’t run when it comes.
Tatum wouldn't have saved the Celtics. Hornets are just straight up a better team
thread is SO dead
lmao bumson
THUNDER WINSGA 20 POINTSPANAMA IS A BITCH
double brick
>Bumson>OG
Theres enough games left in the season that Charlotte could end up as high as the #6 seed
>>153732332Inceltic your team is getting booty blasted by the hornies pipe down
I might have to rewatch that Knicks OkC match tonight. I legit dont understand how that game was even close. OKC won every quarter except for that random 40 point 3rd quarter explosion by the knicks. I was unfortunately not watching closely enough cuz I was doing something
>>153732348The Sixers could fall out and get another lotto pick.
Donovan Clingan is gonna get a triple dub on points, boards and blocks someday soon
>>153732348i think they could be a 4 or 5 seed. either way, they're at least going to win a round or two if they keep it up.
>>153732378They could drop to #10 and then make a big run in the yoffs if Embiich is healthy for them
>>153732401>if Embiich is healthy
Seeing a WWE ad for an MSG show during the Knicks game makes curious what ad rates are like for various broadcasts
You now remember the one handed free throw man
>>153732265Same. But I came in, not really having a team besides the warriors, and had to find my team throughout the year starting by looking for a winning guard I liked. Unfortunately the team I settled on doesnt have the insane upside of the Hornets, its honestly odd that I never paid much attention to Lamelo now that I look at it. But unlucky, it is what it is, I can't bandwagon right now. But it looks like a genuinely good team. Lets hope my team figures something out next year
>>153732398We'll get to see if Knipple can still sink threes against playoff defense. The 82 games of garbage time the NBA calls a regular season doesn't put noobs to the full test the way the yoffs do
Hornets are gonna be this year's Pacers, aren't they
>>153732453Is Lmao Ball's achilles going to choke the way Hali's did?
Jazz skillfully obtained the loss
Grizzlies: almost shooting 50% from 3almost shooting 50% FTs
Brunson choked that late 3, he is about as clutch as Gayson Gaytum or LeBrick
im about ready to drop the sixers they are shit
Rate my pull knob
>>153732533Trust the prolapse
>>153732476Hope not but he always looked frail. Kalkbrenner needs to stop being soft, too.
>>153732565they got beat by the celtics , absolutely raped by the spurs , and tonite they almost lost to the fucking jazz of all teams. didnt they get blown out by the hornets a few weeks ago? theyre doing this bad just because Embiitch's made of glass self is out? VJ's out now too and PG who wasnt even doing anything is done for basically the season. no way they do anything in the playoffs even if they make it .
Damn the Southeast is close as shit now (ignoring the Wizards)
>>153732553
>>153732281
>>153732553>>153732589is that a handle to flush a toilet lmao
Hornets are this years PacersThey will win the east
why didnt the knicks trade og anoby for mpj?
Hardest team to get a read on this season? I’m going 76ers. They have a lot of talent but they’re barely scraping by.
>>153732757probably not
Apologize
What the fuck is with the hornets? Seriously, have they found a cheat code system similar to the warriors in 2014
>>153732788? they added a lethal three point shooter. the nba is solved by 3 pt shooting. league is trash
>all you have to do is jack up 3s and if they go in you win
Is Cooper a bust? How are you injured
>>153732586They are no longer top three team in the east that's for sure. But higher picks will keep falling to them being a big market team if they decide to tank.
>>153727647
>>153732831fuck tanking and future lottery picks i want to see these bitches win NOW
>>153732838I got the spurs
>>153732812All a front office of any team needs to do is try to fill their roster with guys that can shoot the 3 at around 40% accuracy at every position on the floor, and you got yourself a championship contender
>>153732812They're calling it the worst sport of all time
the aba ruined basketball. No 3 point line is better
How the FUCK did this happen?
>bawbs wont claim kon because hes engaged to a black woman>bawbs wont claim flagg cause hes a wiggerso what is it
>>153733114I embrace Kon and will find a Kween of my own
>>153732769Silver was at the Hornets game yesterday. That game had the Mavs get a ton of FTs. Something's up.
>>153732757>>153732769>>153733161Hellow fellow retards. What color paint we drinking tonight?
Are they going to cheat Kon Knuppel out of rookie of the year? Shouldn’t even be a race at this point. Best rookie season since Blake Griffin
man i cant wait to see what this clippers team looks like once they ship out kawhi and mathurin and find replacements do you think orlando is out enough on suggs to ever trade him? unless mathurin and kawhi are shipped separately itd have to be a 3 team deal, as kawhi isnt leaving LA
>>153733114gringo con nipple de la mexico
>>153732919Colin GillespieLuke KennardSam HauserRui HachimuraBobby Portis...is your contender
Its honestly kind of baffling to know that this pacers team, minus basically 1 player (two if you consider turner important) is the same one that just made the finals
>>153733337People were calling Siakam the best player in the playoffs because he had higher PPG kek.
>>153733337yeah I don't buy it. I don't watch their games but they gotta be losing on purpose
>>153733386The best player on the pacers**Also I think if the bucks continue to lose the Giannis trade happens this summer
>>153733319IT'S RAINING THREES This team, or should I say DYNASTY wins at least 7 rings in a row
>>153733114>>bawbs wont claim kon because hes engaged to a black womanWow his parents might disown him
>>153733420>Also I think if the bucks continue to lose the Giannis trade happens this summerHave you not seen the recent Giannis news? Giannis is legit weird and very particular about what kind of team he would need, to ever be traded
>>153733143I went to school with this super religious bi racial chick. I checked her Pinterest, she had an entire folder dedicated to WMBF families. She gave me a hug one time (she asked for one) and she used to monologue about religious / right wing shit on the bus everyday. she has big tits but she kinda gives me the creeps.
>>153733114kons mom follows Charlie Kirk, Trump and other right wingers on her twitter. same with Flagg. white people are weird.
>>153733461>I checked her Pinterest, she had an entire folder dedicated to WMBF familiesits a fetish. black people who only go after "snow bunnies" are in the same category. its best you stay away from that anon
>>153733472People resonated with his debate videos and it made them feel smart
>>153733337They've used 35 different starting lineups in 62 games
>>153733420>>153733440The trade happens if Giannis doesn’t re-sign.My guess thr Bucks will get less than people think. He’a a weird fit for a lot of teams. People keep saying Pistons or Rockets but the spacing doesn’t work. A mid team giving up all their assets won’t compete.Some team might take a flyer in free agency (ala Howard, Kawhi, PG) even if he won’t commit to an extension. Portland maybe?Still think a trade to the Knicks centred on KAT that then reroutes KAT for dead money and picks is the one that makes the most sense for everybody.
>luka is washed>giannis is washed>jokic is washedIt’s over. He won.
Giannis really wants to stay loyal to this?
>>153733587his father is buried in milwaukee
Baseball, huh.
>>153733578My only problem with this outfit? Not gay enough.
>>153733552I'll take Evan Mobley, Naeqwan, and a first if Cleveland has any left
>>153731728>tfw you average a triple double while shooting 60% for like two years and have nothing to show for it because none of your teammates can play a full season without developing terminal pussy-itis

>>153733797Cavs aren’t trading Mobley.We’re keep seeing tons of delusional trades and people will be shocked when its a meh player and 2 picks. That’s why I can see a KAT trade happening - KAT has trade value and a big contact and Giannis both makes the Knicks better and is worth more them if he signs an extension. He’s the best player in any trade.

I KNOW its the pacers...but this clippers team has potential with garlGOD leading the way. If they can trade Kawhi for some good core pieces and if the lottery gods bless them with the 5th or 6th pick...
>>153733523Yeah, but even so. This current team has all the players who were starting or getting more than 15 minutes in the finals minus Turner. Infact they have even more players than then, it doesnt make sense
>>153734030Clippers is Mathurin's team
>>153733989Cavs didn't trade for Harden to be good when Mobley hits his prime in 4 years. Might as well double down now that you're all in.

Will my Magic ever be good again? Who needs to go? The roster is such a mess. I'm thinking get a new coach and run the same core back next year. If the team is hovering around .500 at the '27 deadline, fire sale.
Gonna go hoop at my local 24 hour fitness today before hitting leg day, any pro tips for a former HOOPER who ain't played in about a year? How is pickup these days at your local?

>>153736398PB no J needs to go yall need to sell everyone him, franz, suggs everyone and then get as many draft picks as you can then tank for 3 years and pray to god that your team turns out like hornets and not kings
>>153736398It's really just a case of trading Paolo and waiting for Franz to return from injury. Three years of lineup data says that Franz + Suggs - Paolo = wins. I doubt your FO will be bold enough though>>153736416>trade your good players and hope you end up like the Hornets

Like I said, I’m from the south and I’ve never had someone call me that until I went up north kek. Usually it was dirty looks or people walking away from you if you were to experience racism

MJ is the better offensive player and defender. LeBron is more versatile. LeBron is more efficient in the team concept. The difference is if you put LeBron on the floor with 4 avg players they are contenders. You put Jordan on the court with same players, he leads the league in scoring and they probably don't make the playoffs

It’s on for Kon >I think the 400 3s in a season … I view that as pretty close to unbreakable,” Knueppel told The Standard. “It’s up there in NBA history. I don’t know if the total is as unbreakable, just because early in his career, he missed some games, missed some times with the ankles, but also just wasn’t shooting as many as maybe players are shooting them today.”

>>153739624Im a Kon fan, hes realistic, and reasonable and understands the only reason he could ever get close to breaking Currys total, isnt because he could ever be better tham Curry, but because of the circumstances of Curry's early career.I'm a Kon believer now.

Meaning they'd have to take 12+ 3s a game at 41% from meme.If the league gets to a point where it is broken then that means the meme shot has gotten so out of control that anyone who is above average at meme shooting would be taking 12+ 3s a game. And honestly I don't think we are that far from that environment.
>>153740498~5 years away from dribble past halfcourt into jack up 3 with 18 on the shotclock spam
Jordan didn't do that in his seasons with the bulls.
>>153740586who care
>>153740527imagine the gambling opportunities tho
>>153740498Optimal ball, mathematically already says anyone who is a 40% meme shooter should be taking 12+ 3s a game and the only reason not to is because you have multiple teammates who could do the same so you share the ball. Anthony Edwards was on pace for a like a quarter of the season just last season and the only reason he stopped shooting as much is because people thought the league was ruined forever when even one of the most athletic players is reduced to a 3 point bot.
>>153740141DELETE THIS
I love how people just pretend Jordan played in a time where the 3 point line didnt exist. He did, and he shot a whopping 29%. No chance he averages 40 today. Stop it lol
