""It's funny because people talk about that all the time. In the '95-'96 season, we averaged 14 three-point shots a game. Now every NBA team averages 30, and six teams average 40 - including the Bulls right now, by the way.""
""I could've shot 3's, but I would've gotten fined if I shot 3's at that point. Steve Kerr could've shot a lot more 3's, but that wasn't what the emphasis was on back then.""
Bill Wennington, a key player in the Chicago Bulls' second three-peat, served as a backup center during their championship runs. He contributed significantly with his midrange shooting. Wennington reflects on the evolution of the game, noting that while the Bulls averaged 14 three-point attempts per game in the 1995-96 season, modern teams average significantly more. He expresses confidence that he could have adapted to shoot three-pointers effectively in today's game, despite the different emphasis on shooting during his playing era.
