Adam Silver says the NBA has heard the critiques and is looking into fixing the 3 point volumes

[In The Zone '98]

It really don't matter about why people don't follow the Nuggets. It's sports fandom, there's many reasons why

We gotta develop more big men. So inside out can return.

The European way has run its course. 7 foot nikkas gotta get back in the post.

I honestly don't care about this three point shooting issue like that.

What concerns me is the lack of competitive spirit and no defense. Every time I watch a game it feels like that players have no passion for what they are doing,.

Miss 3 3 point shots start losing 3 points per miss

Except it does matter. Sports fandom is precisely the point. Fans only want to see what benefits them.

Seeing a fat Euro in Denver doesn't benefit fans of the Lakers, Bulls, Celtics, Warriors, Knicks etc. Seeing a fat Euro in Denver doesn't benefit fans who like to see an American cultured product.

3-pt volume is a red herring.

We could bring back the "big man", but if they're all bigs on small market teams who're from foreign countries, that's not going to make the product more enjoyable for y'all.

Here you are proving my point.

I can’t believe yall are suggesting a limit on 3 pointers.

That’s like limiting the amount of pass attempts in football

shyt would turn it from a legitimate sport into a game at a fair

Less yap from you going forward

You know, you might want to read the actual article instead of just the thread title.

Silver doesn't believe the NBA has a 3-pt volume problem, let alone one that needs to be fixed.

From a visual standpoint. We need more inside out

And these players can also pump fake and step into more middies

1-17 from 3 at any point in a game is unnecessary

 

[AAKing23]

The Celtics are the only team in the league who take more than 50% of their attempts from 3




I don’t necessarily disagree. It was a poorly coached game by Daigenault, it clearly wasn’t their night and they should’ve adjusted

And the Celtics are the biggest offenders of abusing the 3pt shot

Ultimately the point is that you would like for the percentage of a team's PPG being based on 3PT Scoring to drop globally to around 20 to 30%

According to NBA.com/stats that's about where it was in 2016-2017 (The Warriors were at 31% for reference)

But today 3PT Scoring is up to as much as 47% of a team's PPG (Celtics at 47.5%)

The 2016-2017 Warriors would be almost last in today's NBA in comparison which is insane

Yet he’s going to look into modifying style of play

Do you live under a rock ? Hang it up gramps

 

[GunRanger]

I CAN GUARANTEE MOST OF
THESE MISSES WERENT WIDE OPEN...

THATS THING WITH THE 3 BALL...

MOST OF THESE BRICKS ARE
WIDE OPEN fukkING 3S.

BIG DIFFERENCE IN ENTERTAINMENT VALUE WATCHING SOMEONE MISS
A CONTESTED MIDDY WHERE
DEFENSE WAS ACTUALLY ALLOWED
VS nikkaS
MISSING WIDE OPEN 3S.


​

I want more physicality on defense, but thats not mutually exclusive to shooting a lot of 3s. FIBA is more physical but they still shoot a ton of their shots from 3.

"I think the game is in a great place. I love watching the games, and I think we have some of the most skilled athletes in the world competing -- and it's unfair, I think, to the players to lump them into categories as 3-point shooters or a midrange shooter or big man playing under the basket. It's an amazing game."

"Having said that," he continued, "we're constantly having discussions about whether there are ways to improve stylistically the game on the floor."

Are you stupid or are you dumb?

The NBA is ALWAYS looking into modifying its play (for better or worse).

The whole inception of the NBA Cup is through the league's initiative to bring more life to the regular season. The play-in tournament. The restyling of the All-Star Weekend. These are all changes that the NBA believes will further evolve the product.

The hilariousness of thinking y'all have got some win out of this when the NBA is going to keep changing, it's not going to go back to a time when y'all loved the game. Do y'all think Silver is going to bring back the 90s or some shyt?

Just remove the corner three

It's not going to make y'all enjoy the game more if it doesn't benefit y'all sensibilities.

You think visually the game is going to more palatable if we have a whole bunch of international big men on teams like the Grizzlies, Pels, Spurs, Jazz etc? That's going to make y'all happy? That's gonna make y'all sit back and be content with the product? Y'all gonna be happy if foreign players on teams who y'all don't even support dominate the league?

Why? KAT for example is better taking 5 threes a game than 5 post up shots.

He’s decent at posting up but he’s an All-Timer as a shooter. It’s had a transformative effect on our offense.
