Unpopular opinion but I doubt Pete would have scored as much if there was a 3 point line - it actually shrinks the court and players shooting and shot making development.

Defenses put a lot more focus on guarding 20+ feet from the basketball when those shots are worth 50% more points. Downvote away

That’s the dumbest claim regarding Pete’s scoring record I’ve ever seen.

Disagree. Defense on the college and pro level play very poor defense on 3 point shooters.
