It’s hard to be a superstar. In baseball, they pitch around you. In football, they’ll load the line. Basketball? No getting around it, even Jordan had rules.

There are only a handful of pros capable of handling 20 shots a night without killing their team. For most NBA players a 20-attempt outing is fine on occasion but averaging the mark is tougher stuff, you’re expected to have the legs to fling 30 attempts from time to time, an unreasonable demand for all but a few.

Consistency is hard. It’s like with late night talk show hosts, you’d have to be a psychopath to want to star that way every night.
