Now. Most are taught to specialize in 2-3 things. Once they master those aspects, then they train to build off of those to expand their game.

Since college isn’t keeping many of the players that can really make it as pros for 4 years we don’t really see that development at the college level.

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

- 4/21 09:30:00

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

RE: MJ's record for most points in a NBA playoff game (63) - War Horse MU - 4/20 08:54:26

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
