Fans who have no idea what they're talking about are like @KrazyCane & @OriginalGatorHater
The media personalities that appear on the major established t.v. networks & former players alike realize; Especially the former "Professionals" that those who are/were never talented enough to ever considered to play for a major division-one, even March Madness team.. The bench warmers all through these kids high school sporting careers, always piggy back off of them.. Both former pros & well known media members [Mixed bag though with them], they know how to get paid well from extending what used to be the majority of "Water cooler talk."
Michael Jordan during the early 1990's; After he hit a three point shot I believe at the end of regulation to beat the Cavaliers stated how, he only really started to practice on his jump shot and/or three point shot around that time frame.. From the 1987, through the 1990 seasons. He averaged at least - Thirty Three, points per game during the entire regular season, & the 1987-1991 seasons he played in every game. Including his rookie year, 1989 he only missed one start [81 starts], and only missed games in 1986 because of a foot injury.
Besides the hand-checking being allowed - as it made it difficult for players to get what every players says [Year, 2020] to get to their sweet spot; Most players have a certain area on both sides of the court that they try to shoot from more so then other spots, especially in the closing minutes of a game. Its the same line of thinking on how their are NBA players that shoot air-balls when they just had a nice crossover.. One, when the defender falls down I would like to think most don't expect a peer in the NBA to lose their footing completely. & Being a fan of the Knicks when Larry Johnson was on the team, his favorite spot to shoot a three pointer was on the corner; But there are others where not having a backboard to gauge the shot / it throws certain players off.
LeBron James fans like to compare to Jordan for no other reason of; He states Michael Jordan was his reasoning for his jersey number through high school & after the draft, and most just look at how their two of the most athletically gifted to ever play basketball.. Everyone who actually has any real logic with their sport will say that a better comparison for LeBron James is Magic Johnson, with how they play the game themselves.
