a better 3 point shooter. MJ said he's a better 3 point shooter than I choose to be. Lol. If he had decided to be the best 3 point shooter he would have.

MJ's record for most points in a NBA playoff game (63) - Ace AU - 4/20 08:20:33

Celtics should have had Ron Jones - Tigeraja MU - 4/20 21:21:53

He wasn't good from 3. He had one good year. He had... - scif MU - 4/20 21:10:57

the 3 didn’t matter that much back then. - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 21:27:10

I loved MJ. But the OP said he became one of the best from 3 - scif MU - 4/20 23:29:37

I think it’s actually easier to get to the rim now - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 23:42:02

and lost the game - Shu MU - 4/20 12:59:30

LOL. To one of the greatest teams of all-time. Yeesh. (nm) - mizzou john MU

If he was a high school/AAU player today the coach would - alstl MU - 4/20 10:28:50

Not true - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 10:37:19

Distinction without a difference(nm) - alstl MU - 4/20 11:10:48

That's part of what makes them "really good players". All - sprintcar STL - 4/20 10:46:33

Agree, good players still know how to play bb - FIJItiger MU

- 4/20 11:15:27

here’s the difference for college now compared to the past - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:19:50

Disagree. The main difference is the stark decline - FIJItiger MU

- 4/20 11:24:57

and that because players aren’t staying in college - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:27:53

The Porter's aside, the last Tiger to leave early was - FIJItiger MU

- 4/20 11:33:24

That’s the point though - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 13:45:46

Mitch is Mark Sparks. Tall,thin,limited skill-set. Sparks - Sigma MU - 4/20 13:51:57

its One of the differences in how players are taught - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 10:56:03

basketball sucks relative to prior years, kids are all - 90Tiger STL - 4/20 18:47:22

College hoops isn’t as good - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 18:49:25

men used to play college basketball - Jeff85 MU - 4/20 19:27:19

pretty much. - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 19:35:40

And it's part of the degradation of basketball in general. - sprintcar STL - 4/20 11:14:13

Good example - now phat enough to battle opposing bigs - alstl MU - 4/20 13:06:43

Mitch actually shoots a good percentage from the midrange. - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:15:21

if Mitch shoots a good percentage from midrange why is he - sprintcar STL - 4/20 11:24:35

Do you really want Mitch shooting more? - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:29:59

He shot 85.4% from 15 feet as a free throw shooter - FIJItiger MU

- 4/20 11:35:32

Not at 35%. But he's 6'10" and moves decent for his size. - sprintcar STL - 4/20 11:35:14

So you want to run your offense with the design - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:38:54

So scoring more points is not your idea of how to win. OK.(nm) - sprintcar STL - 4/20 11:45:58

Mitch is a role player at best - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:48:25

Dude you're way off the rails here. I never said the - sprintcar STL - 4/20 11:53:29

Numbers don’t match that point of view - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:56:06

Of course they don't. You know why? Because players don't - sprintcar STL - 4/20 12:03:27

Think about it like this - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 12:13:24

Yes sir. That 0.5 shots that he's made per game since he's - sprintcar STL - 4/20 13:04:25

Really you want your best players taking the most shots - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 13:08:21

My point is going way over your head. Nevermind. (nm) - sprintcar STL - 4/20 14:35:52

can't play with lineups that feature - FIJItiger MU

- 4/20 11:45:20

Depends on the version of Watson you get - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:47:06

The one that stands in the corner and shoots all the - FIJItiger MU

- 4/20 12:26:31

The one that can’t make 3’s - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 12:29:02

I remember a comment from him about a competitor being - sprintcar STL - 4/20 09:19:07

he never quit working and improving his game - Ace AU - 4/20 09:04:09

That is why I rank him ahead of Lebron - MoGold MU - 4/20 11:18:44

You don’t think Lebron - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:21:13

He does, but not like Mike. - alwaysright MU - 4/20 16:43:14

Yes, this is what made him great - kcmizzou99 MU - 4/20 09:34:29
