I remember when an NBA team has only 1 at most 2 three point specialist (like chess, everybody has their own role). When ray Allen shot a 3, it feels really amazing and very important because it was rare. Now everyone is just shooting 3 pointers, it became boring.

Exactly my point also 💪💪💪 even those uncontested layups and dunks doesn't feel the same because they are uncontested. Back then you always said ohhhh or ahhhh when a dunk or a nice layup was made in the traffic. Now everyone moves out the way. In my opinion all of the fun elements are gone, contested layups/dunks, bigman game inside, fadeaway jumpers in the middle, all players had thier different roles, good defense, variety in the game or between teams, franchise players who stays with one team instead of chasing easy money, lack of interest/passion in general, no trash talking, no competivness. All of that is pretty much gone since about 10-12 years ago

The worst take of all: "The players are more skilled now!" (as they forget how to shoot the middy) while ignoring that _when you only take one to three 3pt attempts per game, a far higher proportion of your total 3pt attempts are going to be end-of-quarter AND shot-clock beating chucks/heaves._ ...compare that to now, where players take many more 3pt shots in rhythm - with spacing - to give the shooter more time before the closeout gets there. Players also now will intentionally avoid taking end-of-quarter heaves - just to keep their self-serving 3pt% "up". (as they forget how to shoot the middy)

The defense is there. They need to emphasize more. There's more space to cover because of the three pointer...forcing defenders to cover more ground to contest shooters. And that's why teams play more zone type defenses...to occupy the "zone" of their nearby offensive player but also able to provide help-side. Or teams, for the most part, play man-to-man but just provide hell of help-side.

Absolutely this. We don’t need the Pistons’s rugby style, but simple hand checking, one forearm in the back when posted, body on body contact for rebounds etc. Let men be men. I would much rather see a 7 footer banging for position that standing behind the arc waiting to jack up a three. It’s just mind numbing to watch. I’ve been a basketball fanatic all of my life, and I’m 51, but I just can’t watch a full basketball game anymore. Sure, the shooting skills are higher than they have ever been overall, but the rule changes over time have ruined the beauty and passion of the game.

Modern players in general are *not* more skilled than players from earlier eras. The *league* has recruited players with different skill sets, because of how the rules have changed. But there is no way that Nikola Jokic or Giannis Antetokounmpo is "more skilled" than Kareem Abdul-Jabar or Hakeem Olajuwon. They may have developed *different* skills, but that's not the same thing as MORE skill.

@@iironhide6209 Still not true. The modern NBA in 1960 had 8 teams, drawing from a U.S. population of 180 million people. Now they have 30 teams, drawing from a U.S. population of 328 million people. While the league now *does* get 22% of its players from overseas, the number of NBA players selected per capita has gone up by about 60%, while the average age of the entire country has increased, meaning the real talent pool from which players are drawn is even smaller. Add to that the fact that more and more NBA prospects aren't completing college programs, and enter the draft from their sophomore year and earlier, and you've got a league stuffed with players who haven't learned fundamental skills, and have little incentive to learn, since half the league is actively tanking in lieu of competing. You've got a league full of raw players whose only real training comes from their high-school coaches, and for most of them, there's no incentive to improve their skills, because they're already getting huge paychecks. This is how a guy like Ben Simmons who either can't or won't shoot from more than 5 feet from the hoop is considered an all-star. Had he spent another 2 or 3 seasons at LSU learning his craft, he might actually have developed into a well-rounded player. The fact is, the NBA has changed the rules to adapt to the reality that they have more teams than they have talent, and the players they're getting are raw, and will take years learning on the court to have a chance to learn what they should have from a proper basketball program. So, they make defense irrelevant, and turn the game into a shoot-around. When Phil Jackson went to NY and tried to get them to adopt the triangle offense, the players wouldn't do it. It was too complex, and requires players to make decisions based on how the defense sets up, as opposed to just running predictable screen and roll plays. My point here is not that modern players are *unskilled*, but suggesting that players from previous eras were less skilled betrays a simple lack of understanding of how the league and the game have changed.

Jacks from thirty five feet by players that would have struggled to even get minutes in prior decades. Flops so bad they ought to be in a bad B-movie. Free walks to the basket down an unguarded lane. Nobody even acting like they have any understanding of what a rebound is or why your team might want one once in a while. So many isolation plays that I don't understand why the other four players don't go sit down and take a break and get a drink for 20 seconds. It's ugly. It's eliminated so many interrelated skill sets that used to make watching basketball fun. I hate it...

Haven't watched an entire NBA game in over 15 years. The problem isn't so much the 3 point attempts. That will eventually balance itself out. The problem is that there's no defense anymore, which artificially pads the stats and makes people think today's players are great. Not a one of them would have survived a week playing back in the day when they had to face real defenses. Anybody looks like a great player if they are on the Globetrotters playing exhibition games against non-existent defense, and that's what the NBA has turned into. It's one reason why the Jordan vs. LeBron debate is such a joke. If LeBron had played his career in the same era as Jordan, he'd probably be ranked somewhere around 50th best player of all time if he even survived. Pistons would have obliterated him.

shooting 3's is not efficient. Going to the hoop is far more efficient. Players nowadays are too scared to go to the hoop and take the approach of: I shoot 50 shots in a game, I'll make 15 of them and end up with 45 points on 30% shooting, which isnt even that bad. Downfall, which they dont consider is that opponent grabbed 35 rebounds and made them into 2 point conversions, thus scoring 70. Now who is efficient??
@luisvergara6502
@luisvergara6502 3 жыл бұрын
That's just a terrible take. It's pure phisics. The longer the shot the less eficient. All you need to do is look at the box score and compare % from 3 and 2. It's just dumb to say so. What DAntoni once said: "if you're gonna take a LONG 2, you might as well take a 3". I agree with that. However some idiot translated that to saying that the 3 was more eficient than a 2 and everybody ran with it. That's just not correct. Some other idiot said "33% from 3 equals 50% from 2". While mathematicaly this is correct their assuming you're taking an equal amount of 3pointer vs 2pointer which rarely happens in the NBA. Again, it's a dumb thing to say. Going strictly with analitics is just bad for basketball.

Refereeing ruins the game of basketball sometimes. I'm a rugby fan too as I'm from the UK and I watched the England Wales match last weekend and the refereeing was disgraceful. I'm sure you don't know a thing about how rugby works but you can't drop or lose control of the ball forwards and a Welsh player knocked it forward and then his teammate regathered it which is a knock on but the referee awarded the try which is like a touchdown in football. There was another welsh try where the referee told the England captain to talk to his team in a huddle and they were in the huddle when the Welsh did a cross field kick and scored a try. The referee HAS to give the players time to set their defense but he didn't and in rugby you can't argue with the referee at all and the try was awarded. Wales went on to win due to two very controversial tries and a few penalties that shouldn't have been given and without the points they got from those controversial incidents they would have lost. It was an important match that the worse side won due to very poor and biased Refereeing. Sorry if that explanation was just waffle to you but what I'm saying is that all sports are being ruined by poor Refereeing in big games at the moment and something needs to be done to fix it.

Too many different suggestions.. I think the best solution is to just bring it back to the way basketball was originally designed and played and that is to remove the 3 point line. Shoot anywhere and only get 2 points. Players will still be appreciated for their long range shooting abilities but at the same time it will reduce the amount of long range shots being taken. The sport will create a balance again for the big and small players if both can only get 2 points.

It's sloppy, ugly basketball, which is why the majority of nba fans today don't even watch live games, they just watch highlights, cause the game is to ugly and boring to watch live. Hell even talking basketball has become lame because of all u analytics nerds who only know how to argue with advanced metrics 😂

I go back watching MJ and Kobe, way more fun and more strategic way to play basketball. Today's game remind me of friendly I used to play with other kids after training, when the manager had gone home and could not see the sh*t we were pulling.

To me, Steve Kerr is the biggest reason why the 3 point era came way faster than it probably would've. Steph was the mascot, but Kerr was the mastermind. And yeah, the people who are saying that it's ruining basketball do have a legitimate reason to think so. There definitely needs to be a better balance. Also who else is looking forward to GS vs POR?

There are literally no offensive plays, no big man, and no defense these days. Almost every player/team guards 1 - 5 as most just switch. This creates an one vs one mismatch. There are very few “shot blockers” so you beat your man off the dribble for a little to uncontested layup or they shoot a 3. There is no balance and it’s very hard to watch for me. It’s just sad.

Teams don’t have to play defense. One guy dribbling, big comes up to set a pick… guy drives and shoots or kicks out for a 3. Four guys standing beyond the arc, one guy sets picks. Very little horizontal ball movement. Usually one pass, maybe two. Mostly dribbling. The D doesn’t have to move. Boring to watch. Every game is like the all-star game. 🥱

I agreed with all your points. It is definitely the case that the 3-pt era has its pros and cons. I just want to add a point regarding the spacing that it provides. As the area of defense get wider, there is more space for each team to work with. I think more plays and strategies are created due to this fact. And it makes the game more diverse.

The metrics which show the superiority of the 3 over the 2 may work over the course of the regular season, but not necessarily in the playoffs. In a 7 game series we are dealing with a compressed 4 to 7 game "mini-season", where one or two 3pt. 'cold streaks' (far more common when you are taking lower percentage shots) can end your season. Relying on 3s in the post-season is a losing strategy.

I’m fine with the shooting. Some parking lot threes with 20 seconds left on the shot clock are pretty frustrating. But what bothers me the most is the ridiculous fouls. You can’t hand check anymore, but even when a defender just has his arm out, all the shooter has to do is flail into the defenders arm and it draws a shooting foul. That seriously should be an offensive foul. The shooter is initiating the contact. I know its a different point from 3ball basketball. But when we are already seeing the best shooting from players we’ve ever seen, defenders can’t even defend in today’s game. That’s what ruining the game.

I wonder how the great passing teams of the pre-3 point shot NBA, such as Red Auerbach's Celtics teams, and the late 1960s - early 1970s New York Knickerbockers would do in the NBA now if they played their same "old style" of interior passing, cutting to the basket, hitting the open man, and taking high percentage shots - - - and hitting the boards for offensive rebounds. In 1993 my high school had an alumni varsity basketball game, with varsity players from the 1960s and 1970s against varsity players from the 1980s and 1990s. At one point in the game, at age 45, I was the youngest player on the court for the 1960s-70s team. We had been coached to play basketball the "old" way. The 80s-90s team had been coached in the 3-point way. When we (the "old" were on defense, we found that defending "the perimeter" was far easier than the defense we had to play two or three decades earlier. On defense, the 80s-90s team was unable to defend against interior passing and 8 foot to 12 foot shots. The "old" way won. With that in mind, the question isn't "How many 3-point shots would Rick Barry, or Tommy Heinsohn, or George Yardley, or Jack Twyman, or Oscar Robertson make now, but would the players now be able to stop their "old" style of play?

The examples you gave (4:00 to 5:00) are the kind of things I hate the most about the NBA. So many easy 2 end up as missed 3! Games, even series and championships are lost at the 3 point line. The Bucks clearly demonstrate that you have to play your way, and make the most of your players abilities. I'm a Mavs fan, but Kristaps playing on the perimeters and shooting 3's makes no sense. Great video.

I’d pay to watch today’s NBA experimenting a game or a few without the three point line (pre 1980s) and see if the players get exposed to their weaknesses (fundamentals, low post games, etc). The players that have played in the 1980s, 90s, and even the early part of 2000s were coached by those who experienced the game (pro or not) without the 3s.

Actually all you’d need to do is start calling the rules by the old ways again, especially those pertaining to ball handling. It’s so much easier to get a good shot off when you can take 3-4 steps, shuffle your feet and “cradle” aka carry the ball whenever you please. Start calling the rules the old way and fundamentals come back.

You make the game fun." But then 1 day this guy sends me a long rant telling me the game isnt played like that anymore and I need to set up more 3 point plays. I didnt know what the hell he was talking about until a few months ago when I started watching vids like this. Incredible it's gotten like this.

The over reliance on 3’s has certainly hurt the game of basketball and the NBA. I think any cursory glance at viewership numbers over the past 30 years should be sufficient to prove this point. In an era with more humans/viewers present than ever before, tv’s in every room of the house, and a year of lockdowns - the NBA still couldn’t come close to the stellar viewership numbers they experienced during the 90’s. (Lots of factors involved, complex issue, but the non-stop 3’s are certainly not helping).

I wouldn't say that the three point shot is exclusively the reason for the NBA's issues (I enjoy watching less than in past seasons), but it is a reason. Like some have said, the foul baiting, the flopping, defensive fouls that should actually be offensive fouls, the poor officiating, referees having frail egos in general and being whistle-happy, and watching star players take as many free throws as anything else is what's ruining basketball. Let me ask something: Prior to LeBron James, when did we ever see the biggest superstar in the NBA writhing on the floor in feigned agony to draw a call on contact that never occurred, much less getting a warning from the league for flopping?

I find all the 3 pont shooting boring and miss all the work and skill in the paint. I mean what's the fun in watching someone give up showing skill dribbling inside the paint to a score who instead piches it out to a shot from the three point line?
