Why is a skinny finesse SG shooting the same amount of FTs as 250+ lbs PFs?

Silver may actually get himself fired over this rule change. I would not be surprised if the stars and team owners with stars are not chirping in the background.

Silver will be fine if the NBA product and the TV rating are better.

As I look at those 3, Malone's seems especially high.
MJ was MJ and Barkley was a mobile "big" man that caused matchup problems.

Why is an OP just allowed to post a video with no substance at all and start a topic? This is the kind of garbage that allows boards like this to be overflown with trash threads.
Obvious clear agenda and troll OP

Steph Curry is averaging 6.8 free-throw attempts per game this year....

I'd be willing to bet some owners think their product is so good, almost anyone with a stellar resume could do as good or even better job.

????? This is a basketball forum right? We’re discussing basketball. The topic here is the special treatment that MJ received from the refs throughout his career.
You’re issue isn’t with me, it’s with Magic Johnson.

Lol. How old are you. Finesse? Magic himself said that MJ had the strength of a PF. Look at these dunks. No one is stronger than Barkley and MJ is beasting on him

Jordan was perhaps the best ever in his day at attacking the rim. His combination of quickness, jumping ability, finishing ability and strength attacking the rim from the perimeter was matched only by a prime Lebron IMO who did it with a different balance of those traits.

This is the second time you post this with no context, you must really hate Mj.
Maybe because he drove to the paint every time he touches the dam ball when he was younger?

Lebron is bigger, stronger and more aggressive and shoots fewer FTs

Lol Jordan's FT rate wasn't even extreme given the kind of attacking scorer he was. 35.8 for his career, never got higher than 35.6 after 1989. His first 5 seasons it was 43.6 when he attacked the rim like few others in NBA history, then 32.0 the rest of his career when he perfected the midrange game
For reference: Harden's career FTr is 52.1, LeBron's is 40.3 (44.6 from ages 21-30), Wade's was 42.4, Kobe's was 38.2

This needed its own thread. 
You already posted it in the Harden thread as “proof” that Michael drew unjustified fouls the same way Harden does.
Imagine that. Rather than find game clips illustrating your “argument”, your “proof” was Magic Johnson telling a joke in the dressing room.
