This is why I **** with CP. The geezer uses facts and numbers to back his claims.

No, that's not what you mentioned.
You mentioned per game.
50.
Eddie House and JR Smith be like: "And?"Attempts back then were 3-4-5 a game. Today, it's 3-4-5 a possession sometimes.

Are the Clips wearing their tshirt jerseys already!! Looks like CP3 is wearing a long sleeve under the shirt jersey
I blame ESPN. Front page had the article, I just didn't think anyone would actually buy into it.
My bad.

Not shooting nearly as many threes is quite an understatement lol. The three-point shot was never very popular throughout the '80s.

Dolan likes black people that make him feel cool. It's that simple. If you are back and kiss his *** you are gooooood.

I said that before I ever saw the article because I had already been thinking about it

in 86-87 (when magic averaged 24ppg 12 apg and 6 reb) the lakers averaged 118 ppg which was second in the league.
the same year, the washington bullets averaged 102 ppg which was 22nd out of 23 teams
my question is this: was the defense in the 80s really better than it is currently? yeah you could hand check, yeah you could throw the hands, yeah no one flopped.

Why the hell CWebb sweating so much
Pace.
No dribbling for 20 seconds before iso'ing a jumper. Teams had more possessions, etc.
Hence me saying that to argue cross generation is difficult, 3 point line for one, pace for the other, etc.
Like arguing Shaq vs Russell.

I know, I just skimmed CP's post quickly (I'll read the whole thing later) and read this line
But I should've known what he meant. CP was probably out of college when they added the three-point line, he probably remembers it well.

They should let CWebb replace Shaq but they won't

The schemes (on both sides of the ball) were far less complex than they are today. Remove zone defenses, and you have a much more open and free style that was more uptempo.

With the amount of talent and offensive weapons that are in the game today, if zoning up was illegal in today's game the pace IMO would mirror that of the 80's
Not even gonna lie though, Magic in 91' is extremely impressive, considering the severe lack of talent my goodness.
How old is CP?
Y'all always clown his age and i've for all this time have never known his exact age
