This is totally off the subject but I was looking for something else on youtube. Most of you kids don't know how good he was. This was before the three point shot. Who knows how good guys like Oscar or Cousey would have been with a three. It was adopted Oct 1979 Wilt retired in 1973. He was a spot on three point shooter.
It’s hard to compare eras especially with all the rules changes and training regimen. But I am always amazed with how good MJ would have been if he had grown up learning how to shoot 3 pointers. Here’s a person who never learned how to shoot 3 until he was in the NBA. What’s more impressive is that he was able to improve his percentage as high as 42%.
It seems in basketball the early greats in the 60s and 70s are severely underrated
But in other sports like Baseball and Boxing, the early greats are overrated
They didn't use weights because they thought you would get "musclebound' and they didn't hydrate because they tought water would give you abdominal cramps.
Thanks for posting this toohip! West was a bad ass!
