Curry's PPG and true shooting %.... without the 3-point line

[Smoke117]

The insecurity is real.

Hey, guess what? 3 point line existed when Jordan played, and he even had the benefit of a shortened version of it. Not anyones fault but his own he couldn't be a more efficient scorer than Curry.

LOL this kid has such rookie takes so often hahah

[AirBonner]

[SyRyanYang]

You do know that the game of basketball is an artificial creation by humans for entertainment right?

[AirFederer]

Come on now 3ball. Why try to take away form Curry?

Not all of us appreciate the veteran and accustomed taste you have for balls.

This isn't the argument to use against true shooting %.


Per36 2016 Curry gives you 31.8PPG, with 5.2 made freethrows

Per36 87 Jordan gives you 33.4, with 9.1 made freethrows

What they actually did on the floor?

Curry 29.8PPG, 4.9, most attempts this season 14, on 46:55 minutes played

Jordan 37.1PPG, 10.2, 4 games of 14 attempts, 8 15 attempts, 2 16 attempts, 3 17 attempts, 5 18 attempts, 2 19 attempts, 1 20 attempts, 1 21 attempts, 2 22 attempts, 1 27 attempts. The 27 attempt game was on 37 minutes played.

Dude everyone knows (except the retarded Lebron stans) that MJ is GOAT. You don't have to defend him against youngsters

Jordan might not be the best player in today's league because his game was not crafted to today's rules.

6'3" Westbrook and 6'4" Wade led today's NBA in scoring, even though they're worse 3-point shooters than Jordan and FAR worse midrange shooters.. And let me know when they can jog up to the FT line while dribbling and double-pump with ease.. In their dreams.. Jordan was a taller, longer, stronger, smarter, more athletic and better-shooting version of Westbrook and Wade.

It would be much easier for Jordan to win the scoring championship over Westbrook and Wade than guys like Dominique, Bird, King, Hakeem, Shaq, Robinson, Barkley, and Malone........ especially with today's rules favoring perimeter players and giving Jordan an extra boost.

In Jordan's era, they didn't have today's spacing or the resulting shot strategy that optimizes efficiency (layups/3-pointers).

But even though Jordan was playing a brand of basketball that resulted in tougher midrange shots, he still had 4 straight seasons with 31+ PER and 60+ true shooting, which Curry will never do.

Otoh, without today's easier shot allocation or the 3-point line, Curry wouldn't be anywhere NEAR the best player in the league and his efficiency would be ordinary..

It's annoying because even though guys like Curry/Klay aren't as good as MJ/Pippen, the 3-point line allows them to achieve similar stats.. But it's clear that MJ/Pippen destroy Curry/Klay as basketball players - their team (the bulls) were just as good WITH the 3-point line, and obviously FAR better without.

loled at every jordan stans... jordan is done hes not playing nor the GOAT anymore... go back to the past if you cant handle it.. we Welcome AMC the NEW GENERATION kind of goat.. half court shot? no biggie swish

[LakersForlife]

See, that's what the 3-point line and soft rules has done:

it makes perfect sense that the arbitrary, artificial creation of the 3-point line would eventually enable a team that shoots them well enough to break the wins record..... especially if the league removed barriers to penetration to increase drive-and-kick.

Who cares if Curry and Klay can't hold a godamn candle to MJ and Pippen... Heck, MJ could beat them both by himself if it was all 2-pointers.. But WITH the 3-point line, these preppy kids can say they're good basketball players.. It's a joke

soft rules? you cant guard a player who shoots from half court with 50% shooting accuracy from that distance.. jordan can lick curry shoes.

[SexSymbol]

He'd focus more on the 2point shot and just average 30+ pts that way...

Just like over-expansion and a shorter 3 point line helped the Bulls in '96?

If curry finishes this year off strong, Warriors break the record and win the championship, then the "Kobe/Curry fam" will truly see that 3balls Lebron hate really isn't about Lebron in the slightest. It'll be awesome
