Prime Gilbert Arenas was a very modern player, he took averaged 7 threes a game...and averaged 9 free throw attempts a game...
He was like the first James Harden

No not just for his status but in general. The conversation isn’t about his legacy it’s about the league passed him by and hows he never evolved with it. Vince Carter at 40 is way more valuable than melo because he changed with the game
Washed for his status, yeah...

This is dumb, the point of the game is to outscore your opponent. NBA scoring today is far more efficient than at any point in nba history. How is that “killing the game”. If you don’t like it stop watching.
Worthwhile point. Though when Melo came into the league Arenas was already averaging 18.3ppg while only hitting 1.3 threes/game, so he could still score without threes.
fukking stupid. They're really trying to diminish the mid range jumpshot, which is a easier & higher percentage shot than a fukking 3.
I can't stand this analytical bullshyt in basketball

You’re better off shooting 33% from deep than 40% from mid range
. If you’re still designing your offense around that shot in 2018, you’re getting left behind.
It's not.
I don't know why the article named him a ballhog without using anything regarding usage rates and assist metrics.
The title is essentially clickbait.
However, it is correct in saying that midrange scorers are basically dinosaurs in today's PnR, ball movement, 3-heavy offensive game.
And honestly that sucks because the midrange players through NBA history have been the most fun to watch just because of the variety of their offensive skill.

You always go with the higher percentage shot, that's common sense basketball.
