Just for fun: if you could see any player from past eras play in today's NBA, who would you want to see?

To be fair, Barkley was crazy...he took on Shaq...lol

Kevin Harlan's call of that incident is legendary.

I don't know. In this era of 3s? He wasn't very good from 3, outside of a couple outlier seasons and never averaged more than 4 attempts per game.

From Brook Lopez to Paul Millsap to Serge Ibaka, we've seen guys who went from strictly inside scorers to guys who can shoot threes at a respectable clip.

Why? Because shooting threes isn't that hard. It's not some arcane skill that can only be mastered by a small handful of Socrates-level geniuses. Almost everyone shoots them now, which means it isn't particularly hard.

This is why I find this talking point disingenuous.

With the 3 and D role being highly valued in today's game, I'd like to see how Dan Majerle would fare. Especially since he was the first to make a habit of shooting area code distance threes.
