Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 3535893, member: 2458"] Yeah, it’s just SO hard to compare across eras. Like the best guys weaknesses in any era were basically just a product of the times. Like Magic didn’t shoot or make 3’s for most of his career: because basically nobody did. But late in his career as the shot became more common, he started shooting them and making them. He was like a 90% FT shooter. I have no doubt he’d be hitting a few 3’s a game at a good percentage if he played now. Jordan too. And he’d get to the rack even easier now, with the paint wide open and hand checking not allowed. A guy like Hakeem would probably be shooting 3’s now, and he’s the rare old school big who would fit in fine to today’s game...that guy would be guarding on the perimeter with no problem, lol. It’s just hard to compare with the games being so drastically different. [/QUOTE]
