Message: [QUOTE="nomar, post: 5287653, member: 651"] My assumption is that they'd be shooting 3s at a high volume and good percentage. It wasn't for lack of ability they didn't do it. It was for lack of vision by coaches. They didn't practice 3s. KG's a guy who took thousands of 18-20 footers. These days, they'd all be 3s. Larry Bird's career 3-point numbers are underwhelming. Does anybody doubt he'd be a terror from behind the arc in today's NBA? All of the players on that list would be great. I think if the Admiral could shoot 3s, he'd be insanely good. Barkley and Malone too. Drexler would thrive in today's NBA. No way he'd be a 32% 3-point shooter. Dumars is nowhere near the other guys. Yes, he was the only of those who could shoot 3s back then, and maybe he'd shoot more now, but he just wasn't and wouldn't be in the other guys' class. [/QUOTE]
