Yeah, I guess they shortened it in 94-95 for 3 seasons then moved it back, except for the corners, but that was basically KJ's last year which was injury riddled and he only shot 26 of them.

#4 Eddie? Joe?


Kevin Johnson had 4 All-NBA selections by Booker's current age, averaged 22 and 11 the 4 seasons before Barkley arrived. No shame in losing to the GOAT and could realistically be no.2 if they had been the only team to beat Jordan in the Finals.

As a Cal guy, nice to see KJ getting the respect he deserves by the fans in this thread. He was a dominant force during his peak. Able to elevate a team to relevancy all by himself. a true PG.
