Again.. He was a PF for half his career. He did not shoot many threes during that period. Thus resulting in his 1.9 career attempt average. Thus not qualifying him for the prerequisite attempt amount in the other posters search query. If you took only his numbers as a SF, he would be on the silly list.

You didn't read his posts, because Bird still wouldn't have been. He never attempted enough, in any season, to have been included. His highest, 3.3, was in his last couple of seasons. His search parameters were looking for guys 4.5 or higher and then Bird didn't shoot a high enough % (37.6<38), with the search he was preforming.

So what's the deal here? You're answering your own question on why he didn't take a lot of 3s on average for his career; he was a PF for 5 years. Yet he was at the top of the league throughout his time as a SF.

It was a fluid debate. I was making a point, that volume 3pt shooting is a new fad and not as impressive as he was making it out to be. It's not a coincidence that almost every guy he named happened in the past decade. He was trying to put it in historical context that I didn't think was appropriate (best 3pt shooting seasons ever). By including one of the greatest 3pt shooters ever and pointing out that his numbers were lacking, according to his standards, I tried to devalue his stance. Thus proving my point.

Which is why this is more of your stupid drivel

Once again, you couldn't have read anything he said. You just saw a chance to attack/insult me and went for it. I guess you guys are friends or something, but he killed me pretty much the whole time anyway. So not sure why you needed to pile on.
