How the shot-clock saved the NBA

[@chad_b]

The shot clock and the three point line are two of the greatest additions they could have implemented

[@iangriffiths2115]

I think this rule is even more important than the 3 point line. It would look different like it was in years gone by without 3 pointers, but it may not exist if games were getting for under 50 points total daily.

[@chad_b]

@@iangriffiths2115 yes the shot clock definitely more important than the three point line. I just think they're both great because they added whole new layers to the sport

[@edwardtimothy3581]

True

[@ninjaking7256]

Shotclock should be 30 seconds

[@chad_b]

@@ninjaking7256 why 30?

Well done video but shame George Mikan only got a passing mention. He is the reason for teams stalling. He couldn't be defended so teams just passed the ball around. The first true superstar of the league is most responsible for the shot clock than anyone else.

[@williamtoad8040]

The shot clock had an insane effect on the mentality on the league where the paradigm shift went from hold and stall to shoot it or loose it. Teams went from 75.6 FGA per game in 1954 to 109.4 by 1961, which is still the all time high to date btw. In the 2018-19 season I adjusted the 1960-61 pace to 2018-19 and added in factors such as 3pt shots per game, improvement in FG% and percentage of points from free throws and found that if teams in 2018-19 played at the same pace as they did in 1961 they would’ve been averaging 152ppg

I really enjoyed this video thank you for posting/making it! I do truly believe that the shot clock saved the NBA to.

[@smanslam1]

It's really one of the greatest additions to the game.

[@anthonycokoye]

With in-game attendance and TV ratings plummeting, I am hopeful the introduction of the pitch-clock by the Major League Baseball (MLB) would have the same effect as the NBA's shot-clock.

[@markjackson6431]

i can’t imagine having a professional basketball game without a shot clock lol

Great vid! You guys should do more Sensible Trades similar to the Sensible Transfers on your football channel. :))

[@squaaq]

Awesome video!

[@brianarbenz1329]

Disappointed that you left out the ABA, which implemented a 30-second shot clock. ABA commissioner George Mikan (the same) had brought back the old ABL's 3-point shot, which was gloriously successful. With the number of expected 3-pointers scored, the ABA figured letting players have 30 seconds to shoot would let the new league match the established NBA's scoring average, and that worked.

With the introduction of shot clock comes shot clock violation.

Weird hearing this with the English accent from tifo football group Joe etc

[@lucashowell8689]

I would love to see a modern NBA game go without a shot clock honestly. Turn the whole game into garbage time!

[@princedennisantwi8084]

Can you pls post more content since there 8s play off f8nals

[@greengiantsyt]

This video has many parts that are factually incorrect. Leo ferris, (my great uncle) created the shot clock formula, and all the credit went to danny biasone. Leo has been snubbed by the Naismith hall of fame and forgotten from the basketball world.

[@futtspoppin6348]

Floyd mayweathers boxing is similar to this, dribbling & stalling, then defending it saying dribbling is an art

Great video, but there’s one minor mistake. They were the Minneapolis Lakers, not the Minnesota Lakers. It’s easy mistake since all Twin Cities teams use Minnesota

great video as always. you guys could also really hit it if you also expanded into american college football. it’s the closest thing america has to world football,

This is the same thing that often makes football boring, but people aren't willing to accept it.

[@chrispanca1590]

Football is just a superior sport. It doesn't need shot clocks yet remains the most popular sport in the world. A game doesn't need to be high scoring to be a good game.
