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

[Field Marshall Bradley]

To shame people into playing prison ball the way we grew up!

Oh you’se a cracka…. Makes sense now

3’s have made the game unwatchable

Remember in the Sandlot where Benny goes to Smalls and is like "it's baseball. You gotta stop thinking. Just have fun. If you were having fun you woulda caught that ball." Then the next time Smalls has a chance he catches the ball, throws a rope and off they went. In 2024, Smalls woulda walked onto the sandlot and been like "I don't even watch baseball and I already know y'all doin it wrong."

Fans don't like it when players think. You know why many people love basketball? It's the one sport where you can in theory tell everyone to suck your dikk and freelance even if it's just for a little bit. In other sports, you could try it, but somebody else gotta be in on it. Analytics is for the risk averse and without all this data overload, we'd see some ugly hoops but then we'd see some awesome shyt come out of nowhere. Now we kinda know what we're in for no matter what game it is.

That's for every sport. Part of why the Chiefs are boring as fukk now is because they're opting for the right play instead of letting Mahomes make magic. When's the last time a QB was inside their 20 and just threw a deep ball without even the hope of a flag being called but because a WR broke free? Baseball at one point, nobody wanted to steal a base. Basketball, a guy would cook and he didn't care where he was on the court. He'd take a stupid shot but if it went in it looked pretty. There were multiple ways to skin a cat. The Celtics proved how they did it works and teams wanna win. In a world where nobody celebrates fun teams that didn't win anymore, this is the path everyone chose.

I legit don't understand the obsession with HATING 3 point shooting. It's obviously more efficient, we've heard the countless explanations of the analytics.

Talking aesthetic appeal, I don't see why anyone would think the AVERAGE crowd fan wouldn't find higher tempo games with long-distance shooting to be more exciting. The build-up/anticipation watching a longer shot is clearly more exciting than a shorter attempt. Tracking the ball to the basket is going to be far more interesting, to most fans, than watching: post footwork, elbow jumpers, baby hooks, or even iso dribble moves.

NBA offense should not be 100% three pointers, and it isn't. The stars and elite players still have a full arsenal. Giannis just damn near scored 60, with two 3 point attempts. It's just expected, to make the NBA now that you can shoot the 3. Otherwise you need some serious specialty to justify your roster spot.

So you one of those make it up in your own mind instead of looking at reality

nikkaz bytching about bringing

Today’s players are so good that you have to make up fake problems to complain about.

There’s literally 6th men in todays league more skilled than MJ.

The absolute highest level of basketball talent we’ve ever seen.

nikkaz want this boring shyt instead. A bunch of fools shooting 40% from the field while spamming mid range shots.




They call this entertainment

White boy just said that basketball has been an ugly game for damn near half a century... It didn't become a beautiful game until aroune 2011..... It must be a sad existence to live your life totally online......

if führer.stern was still the boss he'd tell all the media members get your propaganda right

it makes a big difference when media is pushing positive messaging & making players seem like superheroes

that's how you sell the league but it's the hater era & motherfukkers is trying to sell their opinions to boost clout

we need a new era ahmad rashad a new era nba inside stuff

but we are stuck with countless nobodies becoming somebody by complaining & hating on everything

folks need to say something positive or shut the fukk up

everyone is free to have their opinions

but the nba is a business & bosses are bosses for a reason

control your messaging & mind your promotion

shyt is run and gun


Can’t even tell you how many games I’ve turned off.

Faggits giving up WIDE open layups to shoot a Steph curry 3…

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Personally, I think I’m at my lowest levels of nba enjoyment of alltime. Not trying to start a coli fight. I know how y’all nikkas get when someone says they ain’t enjoying something you love. To each his own. The games I’ve attempted to watch, I haven’t enjoyed

These boys can really hoop now but the game is just not enjoyable and I’m not even an old head like that.

Between the 3’s and the travel step backs it’s unwatchable for me

shyt we used to do to pass time is a legit NBA strategy now.

I HAVENT WATCHED ONE GAME THIS SEASON.
JUST A FEW MINUTES HERE AND THERE.

WNBA>>>



​

whats different about WNBA ?

I dont watch but I peeped the numbers and on average around 37% of all their shots are three pointers. In the NBA its slightly over 42%. doesnt seem like a big difference. Or is it more of an overall product thing and less games means they are more meaningful ? Genuinely asking cuz I dont watch WNBA
