1st - No

2nd - Points in paint are a big part of the game, so why take them away?

What a retarded thread by a retarded user.

If you take away points in the 3 ball, Jordan s*** on Curry. /sarcasm

5-9 ft.......... 49.2%, 126 fga........... 40.3%, 72 fga.......... 47.9%, 71 fga

10-14 ft....... 51.5%, 466 fga........... 52.9%, 85 fga.......... 50.9%, 57 fga

15-19 ft....... 49.5%, 594 fga........... 43.9%, 132 fga........ 37.3%, 102 fga



Overall midrange % (all shots inside the 3-point line but outside the paint)

JORDAN 1997: 49.3%, 1202 fga
CURRY[COLOR="White"]..[/COLOR] 2015: 41.1%, 285 fga
CURRY[COLOR="White"]..[/COLOR] 2016: 42.5%, 200 fga



[COLOR="navy"]In addition superior offensive versatility, MJ's defensive impact dwarfs Curry's - this is especially true against teams that have great perimeter players, since MJ can guard guys like Magic, Lebron, or Drexler, while Curry can only defend guys like Shumpert, Delly, etc.

There's a reason Curry didn't win FMVP in last year's Finals - he only did half the job, while Iggy did the other half (defense)... Otoh, MJ performed Iggy's duties on defense by guarding Magic/Drexler, while still having a goat offensive impact - Jordan's 2-way ability is why he has 6 FMVP's, compared to Curry's 0.[/COLOR]

Guys, I have never watched 90's basketball, but I know it sucked badly.
Defense was soft. Offenses were predictable. Players were not athletic.
The league was weak as a whole. Weak era.

If you take away points from inside 20 feets, Curry would shit on Jordan.

3ball avoiding this killer argument!

[3ball]

Defense was soft in previous eras.

Previous eras had the [COLOR="Navy"]ADVANCED[/COLOR] version of the game:

no spacing, legal hand-checking, paint-camping, no flagrant fouls

Today's era has the [COLOR="Navy"]BEGINNER[/COLOR] version of the game:

wide open spacing, hands-off perimeter defense, no paint-camping, flagrant fouls

Offenses were predictable.

2-pointers are scored in far more ways than 3-pointers, which is why offenses in previous eras were more diverse and sophisticated.

Today's offenses are just designed to get good 3-point looks, which means primarily screen-roll/drive-and-kick.. Rinse, repeat..

Players were not athletic.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

If u take away points in the paint Lebron would be Ason Kidd

[beastee]

Guys, I have never watched 90's basketball, but I know it sucked badly. Weak era.

Then why in the **** would anyone care about your opinion?
/thread

[Achilleas]

if you take away fts,midrange,paint and 3points they are useless

[Bankaii]

If u take away points in the paint Lebron would be Ason Kidd

If you take away every other NBA team besides the Thunder and Clippers, KD and CP3 would still fail to win a ring.
