Mike Ryan

It scares them.

You think 15 years from now when we dive in on legacy stuff, people are going to look at Shea Gilgis Alexander, see that he's got better numbers than someone like Kobe, and then say, well, different era.

They scored 14 more points a game.

The Bulls, when Michael Jordan was winning 72 games and they were averaging 105 points a game, the Bulls were the highest scoring team in the league.

I think yes.

Historically, I think 3% is something that if we're going to do math problems, 3% is meaningful.

But I don't think that's how people do these things.

I really don't.

I believe that this era is going to distort how it is that we do some of this stuff because Michael Jordan's high-flying bulls were playing for the least effective shots.

They were playing for contested twos.

And they were playing the game all wrong.

And you're blasphemous for saying so.

They were just playing in their time.

We've talked to Jamal Crawford about this.

Like, if Jamal Crawford played now, everybody would want him.

And take as many threes as you want, please.

Like, we've changed...

Look, I know that baseball has made a ton of different changes where everyone's looking for just really unusual advantages because there are so many places where market inefficiencies have already been explored by all the teams with money.

So what you have from, say, the Tampa Bay Rays is they have Andrew Rasmus and somebody who throws 72% first pitch strikes.

Just strike zone, strike zone, strike zone.
