There are lies, damn lies and statistics. Sorry, no space today for the usual first two, so ...
•Here’s why the Warriors would smoke the old Showtime Lakers: Three-point shots. Magic Johnson’s Lakers didn’t shoot ’em.
The Warriors would sweep a seven-game series. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would score 30 a game, but not 50, because Andrew Bogut would muscle Kareem out of the deep hole.
Meanwhile, the Splash Quintuplets would romp. The Warriors are making 13.2 threes per game now, against defenses tuned to stop the three. The ’79-80 Lakers, Magic’s rookie season, shot 100 threesall season, making 20. Even the NBA champ ’84-85 Lakers shot only 295, making 90, as many as the Warriors make in seven games.
The three-point shot simply was not part of any team’s arsenal back then. In a now-Warriors vs. then-Lakers series, the Dubs would be bringing rifles to a war against cavemen.
