My recollection is that it would've added over 3000 to Wests totals...I read the stat so how accurate it is is up to the author, West shot from deep a lot ..it was part of his game. Just some trivia I thought was interesting. Same thing with Pete Maravich.
Now days a player can shoot from 35, its part of the game where before, you'd be pulled and put at the end of the bench.
Wait wait wait.... Curry is not responsible for the boom of three pointers. He and Dame might have changed the RANGE of three pointers, but the Houston Rockets were the first team to really use the sabremetrics of the three point shot.
Michael Jordan? How many players were drafted as "the next Jordan?" He proved that you could win without even a somewhat good big man. Magic and Showtime definitely changed the NBA.
