The hardest thing about watching old games to me is watching guys shoot with a foot on the line. I get feeling more comfortable from a step inside the arch, but that's different than just seeming completely indifferent to the extra point.

Why Dirk Nowitzki has changed how bball is played more than any other player

I think maybe because players had a lot more autonomy in shot selection than they do now. No one was going to tell Jordan or Kobe not to take a 2 a foot in front of the 3pt line even if they knew it wasn't a high value shot. I think players these days are more used to and receptive to all the data and analytics than players of earlier generations. Could you imagine some Yale grad calculating expected value for the Bulls front office telling Jordan where to shoot from?
