Steph curry made the game unwatchable
Adam Silver says the NBA has heard the critiques and is looking into fixing the 3 point volumes

All this tells me is you don't watch games.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.
You just cherry-pick what you believe to be the worst possible consequence of 3-pt shooting and then use it to tarnish the whole product. It's less me defending the 3-pt shot and more pointing out that y'all only don't like it because it goes against the game that y'all grew up watching. That time is NOT coming back, so even if 3s weren't an issue, there'd be something else about the game that y'all would be complaining about.
NBA fans find reasons to complain about the game. NBA fans find reasons why the game today doesn't measure up to the past.
Can you comprehend this?
As the cat above said, 3s have helped extend Bron's career.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
It's the reason why when he gets gassed at the end of games, instead of driving, he settles for 3s. Because he can't put the ball on the floor and get to the rack like he once did, him expanding his game by shooting more 3s has allowed him to supplement his scoring and allowed him more space to work with. For argument's sake, let's say they got rid of the 3-pt line or they limited 3s in some capacity, Bron would quickly change his tune about the volume of 3s.

The magic are currently 5/26 from 3 on national TV
Just hoping and praying a couple go in

bu-bu-but all the 3s.
If y'all crying ass muh'fukkas actually stopped watching box scores to layer confirmation bias and started watching games instead, all around the league, y'all wouldn't be complaining. If y'all continue to seek out negativity about the game, y'all will keep on finding it. If it isn't 3s, y'all will find something else to cry about.

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 madif his 3 ball in LA was like it was in Cleveland
There isnt a star player in the league that would be more welcoming to 87-85 in double OT snails pace, no zone, no 5 seconds type games than Bron.As the cat above said, 3s have helped extend Bron's career.

No, that's your position. Which is fine to have.
But no. 11/42 just isn't entertaining
Folks have been complaining about the NBA for decades, yet you seem to think that fixing this issue y'all have with 3s is going to make everything sunshine and rainbows?
Missing shots isn't entertaining, who would've thought.
Teams missed jumpshots in the past and they will continue to miss jumpshots in the future. For as long as this game exists. I'm not sure why I need to keep pointing this out. Or are you one of those cats who wouldn't mind if there were missed jumpshots from 16ft-to the arc instead?

I use to listen to several NBA centric podcast but got tired of those too because all they talked about was how such and such team isn’t taking enough 3s and the plays high lighted were just 3s and who went what from 3.
And yeah watching someone breakdown a defender off the dribble or on the post and missing is more entertaining than watching a volley of bricked 3s. Trying to use that as a gotcha is like claiming all sex is the same.

Other strategies should be employed besides hoping to hit 15-25 threes
I perfectly understand limitations on player skills, but 11/42 just isn't working for me anymore
I am no longer entertained by missed 3s. It has run its course
Dunks/Layups, short midrange and floaters still about the same for the past 25 years. They literally replaced the long midrange with the 3s
go back to YouTube and watch less athletic nikkaz clank 18 foot jumpers and shoot 41% from the floor.Imagine shooting 900 midranges at a 38% clip
three point shooters nowadays shooting at a higher percentage. That’s 4-11 every game.
