There is no doubt that a guy going to the basket can create open lanes and easy shots. But the three point line doesnt move and isnt an easier shot regardless of arena or teammates.
LOL. you said nothing to disprove the point. All you did was reiterate your baseless rubbish.

Here is a quote from SI from Michael Jordan himself in regards to the Jordan rules:

"Sometimes I wish I could be my teammates looking at that defense," says Jordan. "It must be nice. But it isn't nice for me."

Jordan took the attention of the defense. If they double, someone is open. You said earlier in the thread teams don't double on the perimeter in the NBA. What gives? Are you going back on that now?

If a team has to double one man, a player is going to be more open than if that defense didnt have to double. Im sorry you dont/cant grasp this basic fact.
