Still. I don’t think he was much of a long distance shooter

Not going to dispute that, but I personally think a guy with a good shooting form and a high percentage from midrange would’ve been as effective as some of the current players with the same training, emphasis and strategies that are currently in place.

You can’t tell me that guys like Pistol Pete, Iceman, Elgin Baylor, Karl Malone and Dr. J. wouldn’t have been able to adjust their games and extended their range if that was the style of play back when they were superstars.

I got stuck working a surprise over-night shift tonight. I'll be working on this while they rest of you (except the antipodeans) are sleeping, they should be there bright and early in the morning.

If you posted your summary in the thread, please PM it to me, so that I don't have to search through to find it.

Instead of posting ALL matchups at once, I think it's better to do them 4 at a time? What do you think? In the past if there's too many matches for voters to vote on and you don't get as many votes.

Do 4 matches for 2-3 days , then another round of 4 matches would be better I think.

Besides, it’s hard to keep track of and muster the full power of an army of alts when all 8 matches are going simultaneously. . . amirite? ;)

Shooting from 3pt distance was already a part of Pistol’s game. In one of the YouTube vids some guy who used to coach him went back and charted all of the long distance 2pointers he made in college and determined he would’ve scored over 4-500 points extra, I forget exactly, but Pistol wasn’t the only player pre 3 point line that would routinely shoot from distance even though it only counted as 2 points. Jerry West would do it routinely do it as well as Bob Petite. English and the Jazz’s own Jeff Malone were elite midrange shooters but were terrible three point shooters, and they played during the three point era, then there’s also guys like Simmons or Giannis who play in the height of three point shooting era and are great players one doesn’t even attempt 3’s and the other one can’t shoot straight. Just because a guy plays in this era doesn’t mean he can hit a three. Frasier wasn’t known for stepping out and hitting anything out more than 15-17 feet from what I’ve seen. Besides it’s impossible to determine who would or wouldn’t be able to hit threes if you transported a 60’s or early 70’s player to now.

I didn’t realize we were talking about Frazier specifically. I missed that post. Was just commenting in general that good shooters from past eras would likely be able to do it well if it had been emphasized like it is now.
 
Sonofa....

The simulator at whatifsports.com will only let me do 3 teams. Meaning I'd have to keep removing and readding them for each matchup. And that, my friends, I don't have time to do tonight.
 
I'm really sorry, folks. Between having to pull the overnight tonight, and the stress of that, and the disappointment of not being able to do the simulators right now, well, I just gave up on it for the night. I'll try after I get home and get a few winks.
