I need one lottery team to sacrifice a season for science: slow the pace, ditch the 3s, play the star 40+ minutes, feed post-ups, live in the midrange, and play the “right way.”
Let them get blown out by 40 until the middy fetishists finally understand why basketball evolved.

The "criteria" have changed quite significantly in the last 25 years.
Isiah Thomas says LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are the two greatest players of all time.
“I don’t know if I can get to three others.”

Iman Shumpert says LeBron James and Michael Jordan are physically impossible to guard, arguing that Kobe Bryant was different because players could actually imagine beating him
Shumpert argues that LeBron should not be penalized for playing in a different era, insisting that neither he nor Jordan would struggle if they switched generations. He says their combination of size, athleticism and physical dominance separates them from everyone else. Shumpert praises Kobe’s skill and mentality but believes his game was more about technique and footwork than overwhelming physical advantages, which made fans feel they could compete with him in a way they never could with LeBron or Jordan.
This is him arguing that fg% is better at measuring efficiency than eFG% btw 🤣

Players didn't run, stop, jump, or close out nearly as much 30 years ago. The game was slower & more stationary. Defenses had to defend a 20-foot radius compared to a 40-foot radius today.
It takes a bigger toll on the joints, achilles & muscles.
It's more physically demanding.

Coaches strongly prefer the rim-and-three player. League data shows rim attempts yield ~1.2 points per shot and threes ~1.05–1.15, while even solid midrange sits near 0.8. A high-volume contested long-two specialist therefore produces lower expected value, weaker spacing, and fewer easy looks for teammates. Midrange is accepted selectively from elite specialists or late-clock situations, but the modern preference is clear: generate the highest-value shots first.
I think I’m learning that Kobe fans are so obsessed with shooting distances in increments of 7 feet because they don’t know how to just convert the numbers into a single percentage
“He took 20 shots outside 10 feet that year”
Proceeds to post LeBron shooting 173 times that postseason outside of 10 feet.
And he’s still saying he “cooked” 🤣🤣🤣
