This is what NBA fans want to see

[Tupac in a Business Suit]

This is what the gambling fans want… more threes more chances at garbage parlays

 

[Koli_Kat]

A lot of teams still do all that

Even boston does that. Jaylen Brown has a great midrange game.

Yall literally make fun of Tatum for being a Kobe wannabe

That's not even including Teams like the Nuggets, Warriors, Cavaliers, Pacers, Magic, Suns etc.

They have post play and/or motion and ball movement, midrange,

Yall are talking out of your assess I swear.

More of it, less threes

 

[Koli_Kat]

Post play? Watch the Nuggets. Ball movement? Watch the Warriors. Cutting to the rim? Watch the Nuggets, Warriors and Hawks. Midrange? Watch the Kings.

There's plenty of variety if you watch different teams, but y'all can't be bothered with that because it's much easier to just believe every team is shooting 3s and doing nothing else.

3s are up and viewership is down.

It's funny watching u nikkas argue data and cold facts

One is good for ratings and the other you can see at LA fitness

La fitness doesn't have ppl playing try hard D in the paint, every dribble or pass has the potential to be turned over, deflected or kicked. Everybody out there are athletes before anything else.

I've seen a LOT of kickball recently. @Rekkapryde

At least with a 3, there is a chance I can score.

lay the goddamn ball up or dunk it

This is why you need the fat tricking nikka and the gun holding nikka healthy.

They are just more fun to watch than everyone else. Ant has a beautiful game but he takes and misses too many jumpers imo.

The NBA needs the great slashers to balance the entertainment.

Well we damn Damn sure don’t want to see Aaron Gordon tossing up 10+ threes

Gordon's one of those players who teams tried to mold into a three point shooter and it never really panned out, so unless he's on a heater (which can happen to anyone), he doesn't take as many. He spends most of his time in the paint. Now what we have is a situation where we tell technically good shooters from outside to stop shooting. What Gordon isn't gonna do is show off his handles and dribble himself into a contested baseline fadeaway.

1. numbers tell you otherwise.

2. unless you're a Laker, you have as good of a chance of shooting and making a three as you do going down the lane and getting the foul call. The only true foul merchant who still shoots more threes than he probably should is SGA.

 

[Monsanto]

by your logic, the only person who should dunk is Aaron Gordon.

If your going to be disingenuous at least make the comparison believable

 

[010101]

Few folks have that gravity. Steph being one of them

chef is the most elite

but at this point there are shooters everywhere

any night there's a guy on any team that can catch fire from beyond the arc

shyte whole squads that might come out on a night & it's raining

shooting from distance is the most valuable weapon now

hoops is a nuclear arms race HA

All true, but doesn't change the fact that's its not as entertaining as playing other ways

There's a reason the Slam dunk contest always garnered more attention than the 3pt contest.

NBA players dunk in games now more than they did 10-20 years ago, y’all know these stats can be looked up right?

There’s no shot analytics loves more than layups and dunks

 

[tremonthustler1]

If your going to be disingenuous at least make the comparison believable

you shouldn't care who shoots threes as long as they go in, and what we know now is there's a lot of shooters who can make threes at a respectable clip with his volume, yet you don't want them taking threes. That's what makes what you're saying weird. Steph is the greatest three point shooter ever, but he's not the only good three point shooter, and part of that is because teams need to keep up with other teams with firepower. You're not gonna beat the Celtics just posting up and shooting middys, so yeah, when players come in, you wanna see if they can keep up from outside and now more than ever we have capable shooters. The days of maybe 1-2 capable guys per team are over, so now more players will be authorized, some more than others. That bothers so many of y'all.

You can be as entertaining as you want, but if your entertaining brand of basketball leads you to be 30-52, you're not gonna be employed much longer. Nothing's more entertaining than your team winning.

The issue is not so much the gameplay, the real culprit is the competitive spirit. Today’s players are just out there going through the motions and not really bringing any passion to the court like they used to. I think they put the money and the personal branding ahead of the actual basketball battle and fans could see that.

The fans have adjusted to care less and less like the players. The NBA needs a correction
