Is it easier to avg 25 points in this era or the 90's

[ajnapoleon]

I say it was easier in the 90's due to no zone
Plus no one was really counting how many shots you took to get that 25 avg

but now the defensive schemes are tighter so one person can't really beat you
Now they count how many FT you get to diminish your skills (harden)


But I could be wrong

 

[neph27]

90s was tougher because pace of play was that much slower

more space and coaches getting easy buckets now

in the pre 2000 1v1 iso era you had to be able to hunt and kill your own food that's not something everyone can do

Yeah your right about that


I just seen that Dwight Howard just passed Shaq total rebounds the pace was a lot slower

Who cares the 90s sucked

 

[ikbm]

everyone in the top 10 in scoring right now would get buckets in any era.
nikkas bringing up pacing like it isnt in direct correlation to skill and the game advancing
the better you are at getting the ball in the hole the faster you can try to do so.
theres way more skilled players now than the 90s.

I really did not realize how messed up that era was



Everyone was trying to recreate MJ shooting a ton of shots not passing etc... all for the glory






But still losing

I agree the guys now are extremely skilled and could do it in any era

but when you doing it now....you getting X number of chances MORE per game than brehs back then were

it’s not that I doubt the skills of these guys it’s just basic math

I say it's easier to score today do the pace play and the rule changes such as no hand etc . It's more of a premium to score of the ball and today's Ira opposed to yesteryear

the x amount of chances are tied into skill.
teams get up and down more cause they're better at getting good looks for themselves....
players are better at manipulating pick and rolls.
more players are threats from 23 feet and beyond.
in the 90s there would be 1 maybe two players good at getting buckets for themselves on a team on average
the average nba roster probably has 4-5 players on them each that can put a move or two together to get their own shot. role players included.
players are bigger, stronger, faster and more skilled than any era.
they're getting more chances...but on better efficiency
defense now > then.

all of them will average 3-4pts less in the 90's

1. harden - 26 at most. he won't be able to bully his way to the FT line. too many quality bigs in the middle.
2. giannis - too many solid bigs in 90s. he won't get to the rim at will. i would say he averages 23-24
3. bron will be just fine
4. curry - steph will struggle big time. defenders will just be all over him. curry is a perfect example of a great shooter who benefits from a soft ass era. and i like curry. but tough handchecking D will mess him up pretty good22-23 is my guess
5. cousins - first he won't be shooting 3s cuz coach won't let him. and he is undersized center. will struggle against quality centers. 22-23pts
6. lillard - another big drop off. no way he averages anything more than 20
7. porzingis - i like unicorn, but he's gonna get manhandled. 20 at most
8. davis - he will be a defensive specialist. no way he averages anything more than 20
9. KD - will be just fine
10. booker -


only bron & KD are transcendent.

yall nikkas must never played real basketball.

there is so much wrong with this post idk where to start to be honest
you backing up this trash logic with "you never played basketball" is hilarious
3 in the key being made illegal in 2001 dismantles your entire argument
"too many quality bigs"
dont quote me cause i aint responding to this mumbo jumbo of trash and overrating of hand checking.
