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

Nuance

It’s up 84% over last year because last year there was an NFL game airing in prime time as well. This year the NFL didnt have a late game.

Try again.

Lakers-Warriors led the way with a combined 7.76 million on ABC and ESPN, up six-fold from Sixers-Heat on ESPN alone last year (1.30M) and the largest NBA regular season audience since Clippers-Lakers on Christmas 2019 (8.76M).

It was also the most-watched NBA game on a day that included NFL games since the 2020 NBA Finals, and the most-watched outside of that anomalous circumstance since Christmas 2017 (Cavaliers-Warriors: 8.83M).

Spurs-Knicks placed third with 4.91 million in the Noon ET window — including a “Dunk the Halls” Mickey Mouse-themed simulcast on ESPN2 — the largest audience for the Noon Christmas game since Celtics-Knicks on TNT in 2011, which was the first game of the lockout-delayed season.

Owing to the Christmas Day performance, NBA viewership on The ESPN networks in particular are now up four percent.

Nuggets-Suns rounded out the schedule with 3.84 million — nearly triple Mavericks-Suns last year (1.47M) and the largest audience ever for the late night Christmas window (dates back to 2008).

Now YOU, try again.



Watch you disappear from this thread, altogether, just like the rest of the clowns who thought they had a win and are now nowhere to be seen.

You gonna show back up in this thread and actually read the article or you just gonna be baited by the thread title, when Silver doesn’t even believe there’s a 3-pt problem?

Corner 3 we hardly knew thee

And a beyond half court shot shouldn't count as a shot attempt unless it goes in

 

[BaggerofTea]

the three pointer isnt even an issue if you allow people to play defense.


This is the end result of having people who never played organized basketball in their natural life deciding the rules

Good. And move the arch back.

Here's the full context of what he said.

The grand changes that y'all desperately want aren't coming. Silver doesn't even view the 3-pt shooting as a problem.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

It's funny how the league has been producing hella entertaining games lately with this supposed 3-pt shooting issue.

Well he did say tweaks are coming. Honestly, he kinda talked out of both sides of his mouth.

Tweaks could mean anything about anything, hence talking out both sides of his mouth. He really didn’t say anything. He’s stated many times in the past that they’re always looking to change the game (for better or worse).

I really don’t know why cats put all this focus on their issue with the 3s, when they’ll just find something else to complain about. Not enough American stars, too much Gen Z influence, players too friendly, players care more about money etc etc.

Folks will never be happy the more the game moves away from their childhood.

3 point shooters have just gotten better and it's an integral part of the modern NBA

no need for any stupid rule changes
