FG% is determinant of defense?

What a fool, you cant even prove your point. But you're a mental midget on tRant...might as well extend your asshatery here too.
Im sorry, but why do you think there is a 10 point scoring drop after the 80s? Posted on 3/31/15 at 11:24 am to CptBengal

NBA League Averages by Season
It was so much faster paced when MJ was scoring a lot.
For example, the season that MJ scored 37.1 (86-87 season) the league average was 100.8 possessions, 88.8 FGAs, 30.5 FTAs, and 109.9 points.
This season the league average is 93.9 possessions, 83.5 FGAs, 22.8 FTAs, and 99.9 points.
The most striking difference though are the FT/FGAs. This season it is 0.206 compared to 0.262 in 86-87, which was the highest in ~ the last 60 years. It's doubtful that MJ would get to the free throw line more this season than his highest scoring season when that season was the anomaly for excessive FTAS.

Buckeye and I get along quite well. He understands what he posts. Sadly you didnt realize that his post destroyed your idiotic statistical post from earlier.
sad really, you were too dumb to know what he posted.

He could, but I doubt he would be motivated to average 50 if it detracted from winning. Jordan was a very smart player. He did not take over games offensively unless it was necessary. I doubt he would waste the energy necessary to average 50 when using his teammates would simplify the task of winning games.

He could
And that doesn't even factor in what the fatigue factor would do to these guys, by the 2nd half of the season, they'd be done, you'd see their FG% plummet.

Exactly.
Does anyone really think that if Lebron set his mind to it he couldn't average 50 ppg? Who would do that though? His team wouldn't be very good and MJ's wouldn't either. That goes for any number of star players not playing in Wilt's era.
I took Zo's comment to mean that MJ could do it and have a championship caliber team, which I still maintain is absurd.

I just want to hear one person address the fact that the 80s had the worst defense in NBA history, as well has the most points scored in NBA history, and MJ couldnt come even close to 50 ppg. Explain how he would today.
No one can do this.

Also, if we're talking extreme hypotheticals, opponents can play 3 guys on Jordan to prevent him from scoring 50 a game.

this thread made my work day go by so much faster. I am 40 and remember the NBA from the late 80's/early 90's. No defense was played except by the Pistons or Knicks. MJ would not score 50 today. Athletically the players are bigger, faster, and can jump out of the gym unlike when MJ played where there was only a few that had his abilities. Everyone needs to take the blinders off. Dr. J approves of this message!

quote:not exactly. you can zone up the lane, as Thibs and Rivers have shown to do.
The illegal defense rules kept the lane more open when Jordan played than it is now. So you are incorrect in saying the lane is more accessible now.
It's funny how you guys who swear up and down how much more difficult the defense in todays NBA is talk out both sides of your mouth.

What was the bulls record when Jordan scored 50+?
