THATS SILLY.

YOU JUST SIMPLY ELIMINATE THE 3P LINE
AND GO BACK TO ALL 2 POINTERS
LIKE PRE 1980.

NOW THEY CANT JUSTIFY
SHOOTING 33% FROM 23 FEET.

THE SHOT SELECTION
AND ANALYTICS WOULD CHANGE
IMMEDIATELY
:devil:
:evil:

It's about what will be more entertaining.. eliminating the 3 won't stop them from chucking up shots 95% of the time.. they are chucking up 3s cause it takes less effort more so than points and that's how it appears to viewers which is why the ratings are in the toilets

NBA is more popular worldwide than it's ever been.

There are countries that couldn't access NBA games legally back in the days now being able to watch some of the games from their local television programs.

Also basketball is becoming more popular between the young people. Compare countries to what they looked like in 90s playing against Team USA, to now various international teams having not only stars, but superstars as well.

NO THEYRE CHUCKING 3S
BECAUSE ANALYTICS SAY
33% ON 3S IS EQUIVALENT TO 50% ON 2S.

YOU MAKE ALL SHOTS WORTH TWO PTS
THEN NO ONE CAN JUSTIFY SHOOTING
BAD PERCENTAGES ON 23 FOOT 2 POINTERS
SO EVERYONES SHOT SELECTION WILL CHANGE
AND GOOD BASKETBALL WILL RETURN

The problem is nobody gives a fukk about the analytics.. People just wanna be entertained.. the product the NBA is putting out is stagnant.. Fans don't give a fukk about that statistical mumbo jumbo you're speaking on.. Fans just see a bunch of jump shots and now the ratings are dropping. Fans have spoken.. They're tired of watching every play ending with a jumpshot

Are they tired or are you tired?

The NBA has more fans than ever.

Stop falling for this fake news thread.

RIM PROTECTION ≠ SHOTS BLOCKED

ROY HIBBERT AVERAGED 1.7 BLOCKS
FOR HIS CAREER BUT HE WAS
THE QUINTESSENTIAL RIM PROTECTOR.

JJ RACKS UP BLOCKS
BUT IS AN AVERAGE RIM PROTECTOR AT BEST.

:devil:
:evil:

48 DFG% on 4.3 challenges

He’s not average
