Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 4215569, member: 767"] If I believed that, (not my comment, so I'm not sure I do), it would have to be strategy/style of play. The 86 Celtics, to pick a random team, made 1.7 3's per game. Karl Anthony Towns himself makes 2.1 per game t his year. Minnesota makes 14 3's a game. (they're first in 3's per game, I never would've guessed) If the Celtics are playing the way the normally do, but transported to this era, I'm just not sure you can make up that difference. I do believe the average player is better now than in the 80s or 90s. And the best players are probably better as well. But I also believe if you put Bird, for instance, in today's game he would be shooting (and making) a ton of threes. [/QUOTE]
