Klay = Majerle is a good comparison. Both have/had incredible range. Both are good defenders. Klay is more agile bot not by a whole lot. He's not exactly Russell Westbrook in that dept himself.
Durant can create his own shot , go to the rim , shoot 3s and 2s, what the are you talking about?
And thinking that stiff Majerle = Klay

KD has never been roughed up the way 90's guys were allowed to do either.
You think that mental midget wouldn't be shook by all that?
I think lefty should take a look at Klay Thompson’s defensive ratings before making that dumb comment again
Klay is a much better shooter and a much better defender, I don’t know what the you jave been watching
Please
The NBA wasn’t more physical than it is now
you guys have been brainwashed by those “tuff physical 90s defense” compilation videos and “Michael Jordan : Come Fly With Me” tapes
And Jordan was soft as “David Sturm, Pistons are mean to me”
Majerle could drain it from further. With reps, he would be 25 ppg in today's NBA easy.
He was a little too gun shy in the 93 finals for his own good. If he had gotten Clay's reps that would not have been the case.
Aggressive. You want to go down with this modern ship?
IIRC TNT and other national outlets touted Lewis's issues as congenital.
No mention whatsoever of cocaine. Of course the CIA doesn't always have
their tentacles in the local news outlets, who reported the cocaine in his system.
But yea, there was definitely a propaganda campaign afoot.
I didn't learn of this until decades later.
Those ers threw him out so much like trash that they buried him in an unmarked grave, even.
Majerle could hit the occasional long 3 but he was very inconsistent and it’s not like he was always making them from logo range like they are doing today
And he fell off a cliff very quickly
Klay is way more consistent and unlike Dan he didn’t need to to be squared to the basket
Klay can catch and shoot quickly with a defender in his grill and with his body turned away from the basket
Majerle wouldn’t average 25 ppg today because:
- he is too streaky
- he wouldn’t play enough minutes to score 20 because he would be a total liability on defense
He was streaky because his reps were inconsistent. Suns didn't even run any damn plays for him. It was all about getting Barkley his MVP.
Eh great shooters figure it out
He didn’t
He was shooting 38 3FG in 93 despite having no plays and consistently shooting from 7 ft behind the line because the Suns spacing sucked.
I'd say he'd "figure it out" in the Warriors system.
Klay is a better shooter, the tapes don’t lie
He's about 4 3FG% better shooting on the line with plays for him, better spacing, illegal screens; and playing along side one of the best three shooters of all-time opening it up further for him (Majerle had midrange KJ ) etc.
That's what the tapes will show ma .
Nah bro he can hit difficult shots
Go rewatch game 6 vs OKC, he was well. defended and hit quick difficult catch and shoot 3s, some of them without even being squared up to the badket
Majerlol never had a playoff performance like that in the postseason
His best playoff game? Wiiiiide open 3s - since you brought this up - against Seattle in 93
By the way 1993 is the only year where he shot the 3 well during the playoffs
He struggled in 94 and 95 and later with Miami, missing a lot of opeeeeeeeen 3s
Klay is also a way better FT shooter
Son, the tape don’t lie
Lefty shook by Dan the Man
It's Thunder Dan, show some respeck!
LMFAO
next tell us the one about goldilocks and the 3 little bears

Consistent reps make a difference as basketball is a rhythm sport, lefty... Ask any shooter. Put Majerle in this era and the numbers are similar because he's getting more looks.
I shared
Lets be honest without Michael, Scottie isn't a Dream Teamer
Soft calls
Handchecking calls
Flopping
It happened in the 80s and 90s
what a overrated era
