NBA isn't basketball. It's not fun to watch. Bring on college ball.

It's not that it's merely a forgotten practice, it's been brutalized by rules and enforcement changes. Athletes haven't evolved in the 30 years since Jordan's heyday so why are they shooting so much better. Well there's no hand-checking and even the remotest amount of physicality results in a foul call. Put some of these players into the 80's and their numbers would become more pedestrian, likely in line with the greats of that era, not outstripping them by miles.
