How would Wade/Jordan do in today's era?

[Dray n Klay]

Two Shooting Guards who couldn't shoot worth a lick in today's league where having 3 point shooters is a premium.




The best SG's today have great shooting ability like Klay Thompson, Harden, Eric Gordon.






Would Jordan/Wade be able to adapt, or would they be unable to find a roster spot in today's spaced-out league?

[SouBeachTalents]

Wouldn't even make the NBA imo

[tpols]

Wade just came off a playoff outing where he shot 45% from midrange and 50+% from 3pt.


Bran shot 29% and 34% respectively...

So 8-10 playoff games and all of a sudden Wade is an elite shooter?

Hmm...with all this space? Can't touch anybody? Lane wide open? MJ, 35 ppg. Wade. 30 ppg.

He never stays banned, so what's the point?

If Wade/Jordan played in today's 3 point shooting motion offense (Gregg Popovich/Steve Kerr/Budenholzer) offense, the only shots they would get would be 3 pointers ala Klay Thompson Kyle Korver.



You think Wade and Jordan are averaging 30 ppg on 3 pointers?



They are sub 30% shooters, which is horrible for today's SGs







I see MJ averaging 23 ppg on 43% from the field 28% from 3 point range







Prime Wade would be similarly to his current averages, 20 ppg on 46% from the field, 23% from 3.

How would Jordan average 28% from 3 pointers in an era where he's going to get more space to shoot 3s? If Jordan played in this era he would probably shoot over 40% from 3 point line, because he's that competitive and will work on it. It will be like the 1990-91 season when he decided to make it a part of his game, only that his percentage would be higher. He would also get to the rim at will.

Because the 3 point line is further out now than when Jordan played.


They decreased the 3 point line in the 90's to midrange levels, and Jordan shot in the 40's% using that line




On a regular 3 point line Jordan is a 25-26% shooter

Oh, never mind. I see that you're just trolling.

Would they find a roster spot

News flash, Wade is currently an all-star in "today's era". At 34 years old he just put up 21/6/5 on 47% in the playoffs. It's safe to say a younger and better version of himself would find a roster spot.

In all seriousness though, Jordan and Wade would be dominant in any era. They're the best rim-attacking guards in history. They were also great from midrange (particularly Jordan), great in the post, deadly off-ball cutters, and highly intelligent. Just because the 3 point shot is more prominent doesn't mean you have to shoot 3's to be effective. When you have a great in-between game and can get to the rim at will, you don't have to rely as heavily on 3's.

Wade shot 32% from 3 in 2009. a solid % considering he was the best slasher in the league. Put that Wade in today's league and he's still averaging 30 ppg on good efficiency. Wade shot well from beyond the arc in last year's playoffs, but he did most of his damage at the rim and from midrange, just like his entire career.

@ his competitiveness would make him a great 3 pt shooter. He would have worked on it then if he was that competitive. Otherwise why would he embarrass himself in the 3 pt contest. Fack outta here with that nonsense.

Lmao Jordan could do anything he put his mind into, "just cause"





By that logic Jordan wanted to go 1-9 in his early years since his competitiveness would've just beaten the Celtics if he wanted to.
