Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 3548069, member: 168"] This is way too simple. It's like saying people who play baseball now can't hit for average. Bird played in an era where people didn't shoot many 3s. Bird shot 37% from 3 and never practiced them. Literally. You can talk to people on his team at the time. If you actually watch games Bird played in and tell me that, in a world that actually valued 3s his 3pt shot wouldn't have improved, you're showing your recency bias. Bird in today's game would be a better shooting, better passing, better rebounding Luka Dončić. When you compare players, by and large you have to compare them against the players they went against in their era. Bird won more MVPs than KD, he has thus far won more titles, and he did it in an era before expansion with a host of other guys who would be good in today's league. [/QUOTE]
