So yeah, unless you're just god-tier skilled (Curry, Jokic, Harden), the freak athlete types are still the ones that almost always end up comprising the majority of the superstar player pool.
The difference being now that those freak athletes can also regularly take and hit the 3. It is shocking for me to go back and look at Jordan’s 3pt %
