If 35% is good enough to win scoring titles, why hasn't Curry won any, since he's shooting almost 10% on threes, while taking more of them
He wouldn't have the green light, his absolute best years from three were with the short 3 point line, that really should say everything you need to know about his shot. I don't see how he's any different from Brandon Jennings in this era, and Jennings is a borderline bench player.
Just another overrated dude from the 90s getting the weird bump, he wasn't that good and he wouldn't be any better today.
Obviously you know nothing about Mahmoud's shot to bring up Brandon Jennings.
I feel he was that good and would be even better in today's game. You can say I'm overrating him but you're actually underrating him. Who are all these people overrating him?? Don't take your hate for 90s basketball out on poor little Mahmoud.

@Ed MOTHERfukkING G this dude is talking about 00-04, when the thread is about the 90s vs now
I didn't grow up watching 90s ball so i can't compare it to what i see now. all i know is todays nba is the worst i've seen since I started watching basketball in 1997.
the best era IMO since 97 was the 00-04 when you had kobe, shaq, duncan, kg, iverson, t-mac, vince, pierce, c-webb, kidd, and dirk in their primes.
the last 2 years have been IMO the worst two seasons of basketball i can remember. quality of the game has dropped off. no new supertsrars to take over for the early 00s guys who are falling off. bad rookie classes. lots of injuries to superstars. the move toward analytics. etc.

I don't hate 90s basketball, I grew up on it, but I'm not about to overrate it
I know all about his shot in College, but it didn't carry over to the NBA and the fact he shot better with the short 3 point line says he probably didn't have NBA range for 23'9".

No...you're acting like that.
I'm acting like someone who saw his impact on the court being different than most big men who played at that time because he created HUGE match up problems forcing bigs to play outside the paint. That was almost unheard of back in the late 80s/early 90s other than Patrick Ewing jump shooting ass who used to piss me off with that wack shyt.

Bruh, distance is a factor plain and simple, the year before the 3 line was moved in the league average was 270 made 3s on 33%, the first year after the line was moved in the number jumped to 450 made 3s on 36%
As for your second part, look at the power forwards on those teams, they wouldn't do much of anything in the playoffs.
The distance didn't make a difference when Horry was on the Lakers or spurs...the reason for the spike could attribute to that was already shooting from that distance as midrange shots...threes wasnt used as the same way it was now...that hou team was constructed better bc of Hakeem..Hakeem would eat everybody lunch in this era..
Those teams had stretch 4s on their teams..wasn't used as much bc it was big man basket ball..

the 90's sonics under today's rules would still be killing shyt today. nikkas is wildin.
kemp at the 5, two stretch 4's in detlef schrempf and sloppy ass sam perkins, one of the OG 3/D players in nate mcmillan. GP would have free reign to the rim.

Wouldn't that help support the argument for 90's squads though? Trailblazers had bigs that could shoot also.
no new superstars?
