These guys take 10-15 3s a night like its nothing. They arent better basketball players than players from the 2000s, they just take more 3s. Aint has 15 fga right now, 9 of them are 3s. :scust:

Tatum has 24 3 point attempts in 2 games. shyt is wild.


Yeah that shyt messes up the beauty of the game.

Back in the T-Mac/Kobe/ VC era the game was much prettier.

The ability to shoot from further out at a higher percentage don't make them better players?

Paul Pierce outscored both Vince and T-Mac. He even took down Kobe in the finals and grabbed the finals MVP, so I’m a bit annoyed you brought them up but left Pierce out. Plus, Pierce and Kobe were the only 5 level scorers in the early 2000s, so it’s wild that you talk about the beauty of the game and don’t give Pierce a shout-out.

Nah, being versatile and able to score from various spots on the court definitely makes you a better basketball player. If my three-point shot isn’t falling, I can always take it to the post. And if I’m up against a bigger defender, I can use my quickness to cut and get an open jumper. Etc.

The role players are clearly better this era
