No that proves his point. More dribbling means less scoring attempts. Their whole premise contradicts their argument. lol we can’t be that slow to think if you dribble more that means you will score more. The more you dribble the more time is wasting off. Then you still have to account for the time on defense. James harden actually hurts his self and his team from getting more possessions and scoring attempts because when the ball is in his hands you will lose 10 seconds off the clock. Lol

In that era 32% from 3 was league average similar to 35% in todays game. Its much easier to shoot 40% from 3 when you take 10 attempts as opposed to 4 attempts.

These guys are rewriting history. Fox, John wall, DRose, WestbrooK super fast, more athletic, bigger than Iverson don't even come close to 35 ppg. Giannis comes at you every possession and he is less than 30. Iverson would be so tired chasing players on defense and getting posted up by bigger guards that he would be throwing up air balls.

Nobody ever in their prime is averaging 40 pts a game in this era because teams will blitz you at half court and make you pass the ball. If 1 guy is taking at least 25 or more shots a game, he's gonna wear out by the end of the season too. If franchises want to win, no 1 guy is gonna give you 40 pts a game all season. Elite championship teams want role players comfortable taking big time high % shots in the biggest games in the playoffs especially on the road.

AI was relentless, with the floor spread and no bigs in his way, he's easily averaging 38 points a game. He's way faster than anyone they could put in front of him. His layup package was impeccable and he lived off his midrange.. He shot threes occasionally.. I think he would shoot no more than 6 threes a game... He was way rougher than anyone playing in todays game... 38 sounds good to me... Only because they would cut his minutes slightly even though he never got tired...

he’s an average athlete in today’s league, too short for defensive efficiency. 23 & 7 with 37-44 win teams.

Are you serious... There isn't one person in the NBA faster than AI today.... Luka, Jokic are not athletes.... A 40 year old LeBron is killing this trash product

This day in age AI would have to play defense, that being said he would average around 33-36 points

Gil is right though even McCants. This isn't about AI being better this is about his mentality and the fact he loved to shot the ball. His first 7 seasons included hand checking. No one is staying in front of him now. He also goes from 4 3pts a game to 8 to 10. On that alone he scores 6 more points. Prime AI was 33 a game, add just the 2 additional 3s he's 39. He doesn't have rim protectors meeting him at the basket so that's probably 2 to 3 more makes on his 2 point shots. So another 4 to 6 points. So he's getting 43 to 45 points a game. His style requires getting more fouls so he's getting more free throws. Today's league would benefit AI tremendously.

So basically he would have to take 31 or 32 shots a game to get his 40. Yea nobody is taking that many shots a game on average add on the the fact that if he’s playing in todays game he’s not averaging 43 mpg there’s no way any coach is allowing that. So basically there’s no way he’s averaging 40 in today’s league if he has to average 31 shot attempts in about 38 minutes of play time.
