Out of all players compared to Jordan, which do you think is the closest?

In 1995-96, Dennis Scott set a then-record for most three-pointers made in a season (267) and George McCloud set the record for most three-point attempts (678). From the 1997-98 season, the NBA reverted the line to its original distance of 23 feet, 9 inches (22 feet at the corners). Ray Allen broke Scott's record with 269 three-pointers in the 2005-06 season.
WAs not Kobe's rookie year 96-97?

Forgot all about that. That's when some players like Nick Van Excel still shot from what would be the old 3 point line, because they were so use to their stroke that they just shot from long range. Man, I forgot all about that.

And I told you, there's no chance he could've done it back in the day. It was a different ball game back then, the rules were different - after 2002 season the NBA went soft with defensive rules in order to make the game more quicker. It don't matter if he was drafted to the Grizzlies - there's no way he could average 40pts/per game in a season durining years from 1997 to 2002, plus don't forget it took him 2-3 years to adapt to the NBA body-wise. He took off durning 99-00 season..

99-2000 season, he was NBA ready, 2000-2001 season Kobe was fuckin' unstoppable. But drafted to the Grizzlies, thank god Jerry west saw something in that kid. West was actually against players coming out of high school and was on record in the LA Times as saying as much. Then he traded for Kobe... LMAO. That's why West was a genius.

--- Quote from: M Dogg on April 16, 2013, 11:49:28 AM --- consistency is one of the best measures to judge fundamentals. If you have good fundamentals, then you'd be consistent. If you don't have good fundamentals, then you will be streaky. And 18, 19, 20 year old Kobe was very streaky.

this is the dumbest shit ever posted on dubcc...u can have great fundamentals, but not be consistent. lets say u get old, and aren't in physical shape to run and move like u used to...ur fundamentals would still be the same, but consistency would diminish. same shit goes for if ur young and dont have an nba-ready body. man, mdogg, i think u just say shit to hear urself talk.

lol, athletes became much more advanced, athletic, and overall stronger during kobe's day....MJ was goin up agains the likes of jeff hornacek, byron russell, and hersey hawkins. it wasnt a league dominated by insane athletes on the perimeter like nowadays. it was a big dominant game, which actually made it EASIER for jordan. if he played with the likes of lebron, durant, melo, t-mac, VC athletes as such, he wouldn't have as easy a job on the perimeter as he did. on top of that, i'm pretty sure we've discussed this in the past...the no zone rules back in the days also made it much easier for wings to get through the lane...no triple teams like u can do today, it was a different game, harder for bigs, but easier on the perimeter players. and quit sayin theres no chance....this is a guy who never attempted as many shots per game as jordan did in his best scoring season, but he still averaged 35.4 ppg. if he was drafted to a toronto or cleveland type with a franchise handed to him, he coulda very easily done it by 2002. like i said, he averaged 28.5 ppg as a 21 year old in 2000.....with shaq attempting 20 shots a game. 11.5 more point without those 20 attempts by shaq is not unthinkable.
