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

[10bandz]

we got regular everyday nikkas saying this shyt ass because there is too many nikkas shooting 3s

We got Gilbert Arenas…the nikka who famously said “we done with the 90s” saying there is too many nikkas out here shooting 3s

We have Lebron James and Paul George saying there is too many nikkas out here shooting 3s

…and yet the coli has posters fighting til the death that they’re right and this isn’t a problem vs ALL these nikkas

Gil out here typing up essays at 230AM about how every team in the league really has their own distinct style if you really watch games

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

No BubbaChuck disrespect allowed on this forum bruh

You're proving my point, my breh.

Fans overlooked A.I's inefficiency because it was his style of play and who they identified with, culturally; him missing shots wasn't a deterrent because they bought into a different narrative about him. Yet because cats don't like 3s, in general, the volume and inefficiency is grating, ugly and a detterent - that's the narrative about the shot.

When are the end of the day, missing shots = missing shots, high volume of shots = high volume of shots.

nikkaz wanna go back to 2000 basketball where nikkaz was bricking 18 footers.

Horrible charts like that are why universities teach proper statistics classes and stress the importance of properly framing data. The difference between the number of made FGs per game in the 2020s and the 2000s according to that chart is ONE. That ugly ass chart is actually showing the difference of 1 made FG attempt per game!


The math behind the corner 3 has lead to an unappealing game. We understand why teams would rather shoot a corner 3 than an 18 footer, it’s just lead the sport down a path that is stale.

Maybe get rid of that corner 3 and it makes less sense to shoot a 35% long two and the game becomes more recognizable and different strategies come back into play.

This description sounds like NBA STREET VOL. 2 strategy...

"Just go dunk the ball"

He wasnt even trolling with that.

Casuals,flabby and sick coli nikkas AND actual current NBA players are saying the same thing

- Gil's takes are pure clickbait, to incite controversy. He contradicts himself at every turn. If there's something that can get clicks, he'll say it.
- We know Bron jumps on whatever the hot/popular take is at the time; this is no more than him appealing to what is the vocalized talking point at the moment. Notice how he had a different energy when there was all the pushback to the superteam era when he was in Miami (I'll come back to this in a second).

The 3s are only a problem because y'all are making it to be a problem, not because they are problem.

Over the last two years, the league has set attendence records. It is the most followed sports league on social media in the world. The game isn't losing popularity because of the 3s.

Does that sound like there's a problem with the NBA?

More to the greater point here -

Y'all are going to complain and be negative about the product, no matter what. The NBA has always been negative about its own product, all the way back to when Wilt shytted on the 80s/90s; all the way back when there was commentary around the 80s and the non-existent defense. If it wasn't the 3s, it would be something else. Anything that is different from the past, y'all won't like it and y'all will complain about it.

When The Decision was made, you had this type of negativity around it, directly in the aftermath and all the years later, spanning the entire decade of the 2010s (ending with KD in GS), saying that Bron and the superteams ruined the league.

Before y'all said 3s ruined the NBA, y'all were saying superteams ruined the NBA.

This is why I keep emphasizing it's not the 3s that's y'all have a problem with, it's the fact the game doesn't align with your sensibilities anymore, and anything that is in conflict with that, y'all aren't going to like. Or do you seem to think the moment that 3s are addressed, all the negativity is going to stop about the NBA? The NBA is going to be nothing but white picket fence discourse? Cats who desperately cling onto the past are now going to do a 180 and claim that real hoops is back?

Y'all are always going to compare today's NBA to the past, no matter what. 3s or no 3s, nothing is going to change that.

13 games tonight

How many teams you think gonna miss 25 threes?

Over/under 10?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Hypothetical here -

Now just imagine if they address whatever issues y'all have with the 3s.

If the amount of international players exponentially increases year after year, pushing American stars further into the background and the NBA markets itself more as an international game, will y'all embrace the league and not be negative about it, or will this just give you another reason to complain and not wanna watch it?

What makes y'all think the moment 3s are no longer an issue that y'all won't find another reason not to like the product?

 

[Trojan 24]

Just threw LeGBT under the bus, he must not know ball

 

[$$$HotBoyRonald$$$]

Let defenders goaltend any 3s like you would do in NBA Jam if you were on fire to stop people from chucking them.

 

[MostReal]

I swear…Silver always talking about fixing something. He treats fixing the NBA like it’s a patch update for NBA 2K

Adam Silver is awful bruh, he needs to be removed like fr

 

[FTBS]

Makes sense. The irony here is that Bron is the player most negatively impacted by the 3 pt explosion. His views on the subject are probably closely aligned with his biggest haters'...but they gone blame him anyway

 

[gtj1982]

nikkaz wanna go back to 2000 basketball where nikkaz was bricking 18 footers.

No one wants to watch the best athletes in the world just shoot open 3s all game. 3 on 1 fast breaks use to be must watch but now it’s just a corner 3.

Bron becomin a good 3PT shooter in LA actually extended his longevity. You see in em games when the 3 not fallin he look worse than Wizards MJ but if 3 on he still look like a all star.

Lakers Bron

6.3 3s attempted a game on 36% shootin

Pre Lakers Bron

4.1 3s attempted a game on 34% shootin

Look at Bron game logs in recent seasons. When he don't got AT LEAST 2-3 3s in the game it a struggle for him to get 20 points so him developin 3 more in LA actually extended his longevity cause he would been mad if his 3 ball in LA was like it was in Cleveland

EXACTLY!!!

Imagine if prime Toronto Vince was flaring out to the 3 point line on a 3 on 1.

That’s the type of shyt clown posters like Gil be in here defending.

 

[DetroitEWarren]

His defense of 3point spam is because he’s a warriors homer. If they exploited another facet of the game he’d shamelessly defend it as well. He markets himself like this impartial fan of the game . Let’s be reality brehs

nikka is NOT a fan of the game. The nikka primary goal is to dikk ride foreigners and hate on people who can score without shooting.

No matter how great or dominant a player is, the lane nikka will always bring it back to "if he can't shoot" ass imaginary ass conversations.

nikka is a lane ass cornball who has the basketball knowledge, but prefers to use it for bytch nikka conversation talking points.

And breh is definitely a white dude in moms or pops basement. Probably has a black step dad and hates him because he tells him to get a job and a bytch every Taco Tuesday while mom's is on the hamburger meat bouncing ass all over nikkas food.
