Should the NBA get rid of the 3 point line?

>>77080081
No, just bring back handchecking and actual defense

>>77080103
Yeah

I don't get the point of not having hand checking and real defense

I'd like to see the Golden Faggots deal with an Oakley and Starks

Hand checking is easier to deal with than zone defense

>>77080081
>People watch the NBA and sports generally because people want to watch superhero like humans who are bigger, stronger, faster
its mainly americANOs and people that like your sports that do that

Supersize the court, make the baskets taller.
They were obviously not designed for giants who can get from one side to the other in three steps and dunk without jumping.

>>77080190
I mean this is an American board talking about an American sport and you do speak an American language

we watch sports for violence and physicality. There is no way in HELL that Steph Curry deserves to be on the same basketball court as a LeBron or KD. He isn't tough. He's a rich kid unathletic mullato who even I could beat the shit out of in a 1 on 1 fight

We watch sports as an escape from reality - and seeing superhumans exhibit their strengths is a great way to escape from reality - not watching a wiry short fuck Chuck it from far away because he has no physical skill

Really gets your neurons firing

>mfw an American prefers to watch gigantic burly black men jump around than someone with real sporting skills near me

Curry is the most popular person the NBA right now cunt whether you like him or not

>>77080415
You misspelled LeBron

You know

The biggest fastest strongest athlete of them all

>>77080398
Sports are about athleticism and strength you stupid fucking macaco

What do you think the first Olympics were about in Ancient Greece? Tell me? Was it about skill or pure strength?

>>77080458
There's a reason that every kid in the NCAA wants to shoot threes rather than drive to the rim now, and it aint LeBron

>>77080514
ANd who the fuck cares?

That isn't a real sport. It doesn't showcase the pinnacle of human athleticism and strength

No one cares about strategy otherwise chess would be massively popular

It's about brute strength and force

>>77080484
Because most kids are inherently pussies

LeBron and MJ and Kobe are one of a kind brute strength athletes. Of course most kids can't be that. Millennials hate shit like that

>>77080287
Nick Wright and Cowherd are the biggest LeBron dickriders in the world. They want the 3pt line gone so he has a better chance to win the title

Ignoring your blatant autism in this thread, nobody is watching Basketball because that want to see a violent sport first of all. If you have that much pent up anger go watch some MMA or the NFL. People care more about SKILL than they do anything else when it comes to NBA.

People like Curry DO belong on the floor because those "Big Strong Athletic MEN" you like to suck off get switched onto him and get left in the dust. They WOULD love less rules so they can foul him and not have to play defense

Without a three point line it would allows these big guys to just camp in the lane and wait for people to come to them instead of trying to play defense.

No nobody wants to watch a bunch of bully ball that shit gets boring after the first half. You'll have some one pounding the ball in the post over and over for the entire shot clock wow so exciting and a show case of skill.

>>77080863

Id rather watch players like Curry and Kyrie sauce people all day than watch a bunch of "ATHLETES" just wrestling each other in the post

>>77080863
Yeah that's why no one looks up to dudes like Shaq or Hakeem or Jordan

Oh wait. They do!

Athleticism is the only thing that matters in sport. All these dumb rules are just to enable more scoring but they don't add any enjoyment to the game

No one likes watching people chuck shots from 30 feet away when it's abritrarily worth more.

It's fucking boring

>>77080630
You're just mad that your 3rd world shithole doesn't have any big or strong people like we do, so you try to even the playing field

How do you think it works in nature, macaco? The biggest and strongest survive

If this was the state of nature people like Curry would've been raped and killed long ago

>>77080902
That's because you're a cuck

Do you watch black men fucking white women too because you think you're a black guy?

they should add a 4 point line and add those stars that pop up randomly on the court that you get more points for shooting from like in nba jam

>>77081227
They shouldn't

They should give more points for scoring in the paint if anything

It's a mans game. Only men should be allowed to reap the benefits of having balls

>>77080137
Mid range jumpers are boring as fuck. Three pointers are pretty cool, I see no reason to disinsentivize long range shots.

No, just change the scoring
>dunks, layups
2 points
>mid-range shots
3 points
>beyond the arc
4 points

Keep threes but bring back handchecking. Actually- introduce cross checking too.

>>77080251
>He's a rich kid unathletic mullato who even I could beat the shit out of in a 1 on 1 fight
>wiry short fuck

Curry is 6'4", 190 lbs. He would kick your ass.

>>77080251
>>77081128
What is it with this Curry=small meme? He only looks small because he's playing alongside giants. Thompson, Igoudala, and Green are all 6'7" and Durant is 7'0". He's about the same size as Wade. He's several inches taller than Ronaldo.

>>77080081
The average basketball player has been 6-7 for 40 years now, and manlets and goofy tall dudes are mostly a thing of the past. It's easily more athletic than it's every been.

The NBA has a ton of problems, this isn't one of them

>>77085594
you are a fucking moron

>>77080184
Yep. The handchecking meme is the saddest copout to the fact that the 90s was horribly inefficient offense

>>77080568
Then why is worlds strongest man something that occassionally comes on tape delay on espn2 at 8am on a Saturday and not primetime Thursday on ABC?

>>77086710
Not enough niggers to satisfy (((their))) tastes.

>>77080583
MJ was a finnese guy that used superior footwork to become the deadliest midpost player ever

and kobe just copied him

>>77080583
MJ and Kobe aren't brute strength at all. At Jordan's peak it was all about his insane speed.

>>77086883
Kobe really did copy Jordan to an obsessive level. Their moves are borderline identical. Starts at 0:53.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v27Hk5OIe-k

what if they decide to screw logic and make it so that shots beyond the arc are worth 1 point rather than 3

>>77087164
That would be a good idea
