I was in a discussion with someone in another thread who said that the Spurs don’t have good spacing this year so it kinda makes up for the differences in era between Wemby’s rookie season and LeBron’s rookie season.

Obviously the comparison requires a lot of context and spacing is way different flay compared to back then. I decided to look up the stats and fully thought it was a mistake on basketball reference when it said they attempted 9.6 threes per game. I checked ESPN and NBAstats and they both confirm that the professional Cavs basketball team only took 9 threes per game for an entire year. And they weren’t even last in the league! They were second to last.

For reference, the Spurs shoot 35 threes per game and are ranked 14th.

Spurs shot 35% and the Cavs shot 31%.
