it's a shame basketball let the 3 point shot ruin the game

[JohnMax]

Notice on the NBA ads of the old great plays not one 3 point shot. Instead of showing us Jordan , Dr J...show us John Paxson, Steve Kerr and Craig Hodges hitting 3 pointers from a Jordan pass, because that's really why I pay $100 to see a game.

Good luck NBA I hope the Danny Green's, Mills, Ginobill'si and all those other 3 point shooters of the NBA make you zillions of dollars.

Gregg Popovich doesn't like the 3 point shot either. However, it's the best way to win. He structured his team around ball movement and shooting 3s, with the occasional dish in the post to Timmy.

[Dresta]

I do agree the game has become a little unbalanced with the constant emphasis on shooting 3s, and a little repetitive.

[Marchesk]

Move the three-point line back, the rim up, and add a third basket.

[TheGreatDeraj]

don't worry people will adjust, we went from more isolation offenses and post plays to lots of pick and roll, drive and kick with 3 point shooting

teams will make more and more of their defenses planned to stop the 3 pointer and layups

then the next Jordan/Kobe is going to come and destroy that plan with a ridiculous mid range game

[Lebron23]

If you are a bad 3 points shooting team in today's nba. You aren't going to win some games in today's nba. 2014 Spurs were a good 3 points shooting team that's why they won the championship.

It is unbalanced right now. They should widen the court and get rid of the corner 3. It would balance out 3's, but not cause the paint to get mucked up.

Of course, the players who have trained for these conditions really don't want them to change, and potentially **** up their game.

This thread is from 2014. People complaining about it then had no idea what was about to happen.

Even traditional karl malone/tim duncan power forward in college basketball are now shooting 3 pointers.

dude has it right, stretch out the line

pace is still gonna be insane because the spacing has evolved

ALSO WHY DOESNT FIBA HAVE THIS PROBLEM???

Stop watching NBA and stop posting here. Thanks.

The three is too easy to make now. The line needs to move back so it is a challenge and it doesn't continue to be worth taking 30-40 of them per game.

[FKAri]

The dunk shot has ruined the game. All shots which start from above the plane of the rim should not count.

[DoctorP]

im guessing if you bring back the hand checking the 3 point shot gets disturbed

[HoopsNY]

Or just bring back hand checking.

[Reggie43]

Yep no handchecking and freedom of movement bullshit ruined the game.

[Gimmedarock]

Game is perfect right now. I never understand complaints about the 3 point shot. Opened the floor up and gave us spacing.

It's very hard to hit mid range shots, apparently, I also want to see Danny Schayes and Joe Kleins flourish. Throw Mark West in. 90s ball was great. So entertaining.

[raprap]

Nba players are too good as shooters now. Honestly I like the 3s, but I love post play more.

It was better than watching the Rockets miss 27 straight 3s in a game 7. That's not basketball. That's stupidity.

[SATAN]

Agreed :cheers:
