More than 40% of total shots are 3pt attempts for the first time in NBA history

[Koli_Kat]

Blame FIBA

Powers that be said it was a more visual pleasing game than the NBA

Because of the passing and off ball movement and strategy. Not the excessive 3s

They shoot the same amount of 3s in FIBA. That's where it comes from.

We gotta figure this out:

Are the 3s great when the European leagues do it

Are the 3s bad when the American leagues do it

It's a balancing act like anything else.

People have to understand, however, that just because variance isn't going your way doesn't mean the process isn't sound.

That shouldn't be in dispute (unfortunately it is), but you're going to have people thinking that if you see teams out here going 4-32 from 3pt, yet still jacking that shyt up.

That's not my point. Everything else is what makes fiba/Euroleague exciting. Not the 3s

Ive never watched a FIBA game in my life.. if they do the same, its ridiculous too

Only thing different is the crowd participation

The NBA offers more athleticism. But they've copied FIBA ball for the most part

move the arch 3 back. eliminate the sideline/corner 3.

Too many guys can shoot from near the logo. It’d still be worth taking them. Make it a crunch time shot.

no where near as many as the corner/sideline 3.

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

Everything is 3s for every team. I say move the line back to 27 feet and eliminate the corner 3. Back in the 90s, I only remember 2 guys pulling up for 3s on fast breaks more than others. That was Mark Price and Drazen Petrovich. It was irregular back then. Now it's normal.

 

[Samori Toure]

Yeah I am an old head and I still consider that to be the worst shot in basketball.

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Makes for very high variance games, which is kinda the point I suppose.

There really needs to be a discussion on eliminating the corner three at the bare minimum

 

[Bigblackted4]

Every team plays the same style of basketball.

This isn't true. Sacramento and Denver don't play like any of these teams.

How is the process sound if continuing down that path leads to an inferior product. The best 3point shooting team doesn’t always win the chip either. If anything spamming 3s is just lazy offense for most of these teams.

 

[RubioTheCruel]

What if they moved the 3 point line back a little bit?

nikkas are still pulling up from like 30 feet and taking threes so that won't really stop it, but they definitely need to remove the corner 3.

It’s bad when every game turns into a 3 point contest and the ratings show
