You should be banned from the Coliseum.
I’d take the guy who can give me 25-30 points on 50/40/90 stretching the defense out to half court, who can get me a good 7-8 assists with creative flair without hijacking the offense. The guy who can dominate on or off-ball and punish defenses in the half court especially down the stretch.

But do you :ehh:

So let's place a 6'9" guy with average athleticism, high IQ, great vision, subpar defense, and average range on the court. I don't think he's averaging a fukking triple double because we see how tough it is to actually do. I could see 16 pts, 9 asts, and 7 rbs. Kyle Anderson on steroids.

He’s the most overrated “pantheon”, “Mt. Rushmore” player.

This forum has the dumbest collection of basketball fans I've ever come across. :snoop:

Magic was such a versatile player, it depends on which team you put him on

If he was in some Showtime-y uptempo offense with a GSW set-up with a lot of passing, then factor in how weak fouls are today and him going to the line, he could put up some serious numbers. 25-15-5
There are less fouls called today than there were in the 80s. Even when you adjust for pace, it's still quite a bit lower. Free throw rate has been at historic lows in the current era.

It was those first few seasons after they got rid of hand checking where the fouls were out of control. Refs were still adjusting.
