The gap between the 1st and 2nd seed in the East is larger than the gap between the 1st and 8th seed in the West.

Based only on the numbers, Steve Kerr is by far the greatest 3-pt shooter of all time, and Seth is better than Steph.
But for three seasons beginning in 1994β95, the NBA attempted to address decreased scoring by shortening the distance of the line from 23 ft 9 in (7.24 m) (22 ft (6.71 m) at the corners) to a uniform 22 ft (6.71 m) around the basket. From the 1997β98 season on, the NBA reverted the line to its original distance of 23 ft 9 in (22 ft at the corners, with a 3-inch differential). Kerr shot .524, .515, and .464 in those seasons. League averages went up from about .335 to .365 for those seasons.
And Steph takes many more contested 3s, longer 3s, and has no issue with putting up end of quarter heaves.
Cool seeing PetroviΔ up there.

It's about time, obviously for their new arena next season. Their current LAC logo is top 10 worst ever, & top 3 laziest. Looks good, I'm glad they veered from the GTA SA font, that doesn't age well.

Nash is higher than I thought, who also brought the 3 into his regular arsenal. No Reggie Miller, yet he wasn't a secret weapon either.

Nash is higher than I thought, who also brought the 3 into his regular arsenal. No Reggie Miller, yet he wasn't a secret weapon either. Moving the line didn't help because it was easier to close out on three point shooters, and people who shouldn't have been taking threes started jacking them up. The percentages may have gone up for some, but scoring didn't skyrocket because the pace of the game didn't really change much. It's also worth noting that defenders in those days could close out on a shooter without worrying about being called for a flagrant foul for entering the shooter's 'landing zone,' and defenses in general could pay more attention to perimeter shooters because they didn't have to worry about the 7'5" third string center from Estonia also jacking up a three if you left him. It's just so much easier to put up numbers in the current NBA. The numbers are so skewed now, I don't know how to judge who's a legit HOF talent compared to eras of the past, let alone how historians will view the evolution of basketball. Not everybody played Bully Ball like the Bad Boys or 90s Knicks, but teams still played physical defense. A chart like this should be separated into categories: Players who had defined positions and roles on a team, and faced legitimate defenses; and players who played in the increasingly soft NBA of the last 10-12 years where barely anyone has a defined position, every team shoots 30-40 threes a night and players aren't allowed to play defense. This chart is meaningless.

When he reached 30k, they lost. When he reached 35k, they lost. When he passed Kareem, they lost. When he reached 40k, they lost.

Watching LeBron last night I was thinking, he's now played as 'Karl Malone' for about 4-6 years now, credibly. Has anyone ever accomplished mimicking 2-3 HOFers in their careers, at a HOF clip themselves?? Sure he's 20 seasons in or whatever, but he's not been MJ-Magic hybrid for years now, without stopping.

He's definitely entered the 'putting up empty stats without trying to win' phase of his career, but he's still more versatile than Malone ever was.

Gilbert Arenas on how to bring defense back to the NBA.
Seems to me hand checking was banned right after Malice at the Palace when they started cracking down on anything physical and tried to make sure ratings didn't tank when MJ quit.
