I had looked at the Jordan vs Kobe vs Butler numbers before and was really intrigued by how similar they were. It was fun expanding that to the other three guys.

I've been thinking more about why they all arrive at such similar numbers. My theory is that maybe this is peak human performance as a two way wing player in terms of basketball played at the highest level. Just like how the 2 hour mark is peak human performance for running a marathon.

I've been having similar thoughts. I imagine that imitation is also playing a big role, both on the parts of these players and their coaches, as well as the opposing players and coaches.
Because he was the consensus GOAT, Jordan became a template for these wings going forward. If you have a guy who can do Jordan-type stuff, why would you try to make him do something else? You're going to put similar kinds of players around him and use him in similar ways, until someone comes up with a better way to use guys with these abilities.
