Message: [QUOTE="Ringostar57, post: 1345023, member: 5189"] In the 1960s you were a great foul shooter if you shot 90+ percent. Today 80+ . There were a lot of teams that flirted with 80 percent foul shooting. Can't name any today. The foul shot is a mid range unguarded shot 10 to 20 foot 2 point jump shots are falling at roughly 38 percent. It takes 50 per cent 2 point shooting to equal 33 percent 3 point shooting (3 for 6 2 point shots = 6 points) while (2 for 6 3 point shots=6 points) Everybody wants to be a three point shooter... So mid range suffers, close in shots suffer; nobody seems to know how make bank shots, close in skills suffer. Old days very few missed layups, today an epedemic when it comes to missed layups. Dunking and 3 point shooting skills are it. Wonder how a George Gervin would do today? [/QUOTE]
