Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 2030448, member: 2458"] I think Magic, Bird, and Jordan would shine in any era. Bird would shoot way more 3's if he played in todays game. Magic would too...he didn't develop that aspect of his game until later in his career, but he didn't need to. The Lakers didn't need or want him shooting 3s early on. Those guys were just special players and would thrive in any era. But there are certainly more good shooters now and yeah better strength training(cough PEDS), and more athleticism. There were definitely better low post scorers in the 80s. A player like Channing Frye might not have made it in the 80s, just like a Michael Cage might not make it in the 10s. Different eras, different games. [/QUOTE]
