Players could actually shoot back then consistently throughout the roster. 


Go to an NBA game early enough to watch a shoot around, get back to me on this one.

Watching an NBA shoot around is one of the most astonishing things I have ever witnessed.

I have. It is incredible to watch.

They could do the same in the 80s and 90s too. The difference is, when the game action starts, those guys were better throughout the roster. Now, there is a lot of freezing up, missing wide open shots, and even missing layups.

I remember that when guys used to get open looks, they would usually make them. The whole thing was about getting a guy open. Now, guys have wide open shots and miss consistently.

I'm sure DeAndre Jordan can hit 90% of his free throws in practice but that doesn't change the fact that he hits less than 40% in games, so why are we talking about practice?
