Would someone please fix the long links in this thread? I really want to read the whole thing, but it's hard when you have to keep scrolling left and right. Thanks.

And no one has offered evidence that it's as easy to block a given % of shots in a run-n-gun league as it is when the offense sets up plays.
There's less need to, when FG% are around .400.


You raise an interesting point, albeit in a roundabout way.

A blocked shot in today's game counts as a missed FGA. Was it the same back then? If so, and given the fact that fouls were called much more conservatively back then, perhaps blocks were just that much more common.

@rlee

Too bad that so many games of the 60's are probably lost. Some time ago I read something about the nba that had a contract with a company that would inventarise all old games and make it available to the public. Does anybody over here knows how that project goes?
