Obviously white guys can ball. But I’m in agreement with Roadie that the only reason y’all give a shit about Pistol is because he’s white. He’s a poor man’s Brent Barry.PurpleThrobber said:It's ok - white guys can ball too.
Or is your guys' contention players like Connie Hawkins or Elgin Baylor or Oscar Robertson wouldn't translate to the current game either?
Because that's complete and utter bullshit.
Ball don't lie. 44.2 PPG.

On a ton of shots. Under 50% with no three point line. He got the green light on any shot because he was fun to watch. He obviously put butts in the seats as well.PurpleThrobber said:

Who's to say the shots he was taking weren't from far enough out to be a 3 today?RoadDawg55 said:

Or perhaps he was getting the shit beat out of him as defense used to be played.BleachedAnusDawg said:

I’m sure he hit some, but I bet most shots were tough, contested mid range jumpers. Without the three point line, those shots were just as worthless and you’re best off giving it to your best scorer (almost exclusively bigs) at the rim.BleachedAnusDawg said:

He was in the wrong era because it was dominated by big men, but a guy putting up points on low averages, for teams that didn’t win shit, is not really an all time great.
