Literally every respected basketball coach at the time said this would eventually happen. Bobby Knight said it would be the death of the sport. It just took a long time for everyone else to realize it

A great shooter killed the sport.

chucking the ball 30ft from the basket hoping you go in doesn't make you great
chucking the ball 30ft from the basket is objectively not a skill because any fucking retard can do it.

Then why aren't you a two-time MVP? You seem pretty fucking retarded

>>76345538
>leaveland fans absolutely SEETHING

>>76345538
then why are we even talking about it so much and why are you so mad in the first place if this was so easy to do?

Lol take away the 3 the warriors will still just be as dominant lol stay mad.

>>76345538

then why dont more people make it in

>>76345538
So shooting the ball from 29ft is a skill but not from 30ft. Alright

>"I thought when Wayman (Tisdale) dunked over people, it should count three,” Tubbs said. "That was a harder shot than the 3-pointer, because of the people hanging all over you.”

more like they didnt understand it or didnt like the lack of physicality

>>76345538
The why cant the cavs consistently make 3s? They sure as hell memechuck just as much as cavs. Its because theyre arent as skilled as the warriors 3p shooters meaning you need to be good to constantly make 30 ft jump shots cuck.

>3 point line
>award 50% more points for a shot that is nowhere near 50% more difficult to make

genius NBA

>>award 50% more points for a shot that is nowhere near 50% more difficult to make

you're right. a 30 ft shot is exactly the same as one from the key

NBA sucks. Quit watching it.

I keep forgetting the universal constant of tripfags being mentally retarded

>>76345737
>>76345758
oh gee i didnt realize that there are either layups or three pointers

>houston rockets realize this
>they stop taking midrange shots altogether
>all their shots are either threes or within 5 ft from the basket

>rather shoot from 15-20 feet in a crowded key than from 23 feet 9 inches awarding you 50% more points where the game is more spaced out and you dont have a bunch of people in your face

GENIUS

>>76345798

they try to get more points in less contested areas of the floor

Im not understanding the downside here. If you dont like it, guard the line

Reminder that the Magic almost memed a Finals win with a dog shit team using this exact strategy
