.................................................. ..SPACING
There was no weakside spacing in previous eras, so all 5 defenders remained on the strongside, and therefore closest to help on strongside action:

Otoh, today's game uses weakside spacing to reduce the number of strongside defenders.. Help defenders are now on the weakside and furthest from helping on strongside action:
http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/5-22-2015/WAhpK1.gif
Weakside spacing leaves the strongside with fewer defenders, which necessitates the flooding of defenders BACK TO the strongside - this is how strongside floods originated.
Otoh, as the first GIF showed, weakside spacing didn't exist in previous eras, so defenders weren't lured away from strongside - defenders just remained on the strongside, which meant players faced strongsides that were already flooded with all 5 defenders (5-defender strongsides) (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11128077&postcount=21)..
These fully-flooded strongsides were a product of no-spacing and represented the "advanced" version of the game that included hand-checking, higher physicality, and legal paint-camping, and therefore requiring more sophisticated 2-point shooting ability.
This is a stark contrast to today's weakside spacing and resulting 1-defender strongsides (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=377570), which is basically the "beginner" version of the game that includes less strongside defenders, no hand-checking, no paint-camping, no physicality.. The highest levels of offensive sophistication (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11188520&postcount=37) simply aren't needed for the beginner version of the game.

And yet the "beginner" version allows for much more flexibility in defensive schemes now.
Thing is, 3ball, defenses are just different now. There's no better or worse, it's just different. Anyone trying to compare such different defenses is delusional
The game is different now, and that's obviously something you don't recognize because all you do is read boxscores and watch youtube (the same youtube that can make Austin Rivers look like the goat SG)
Also, sleep tight pupper

Fantastic post. These are the reasons why you had to have an advanced mid range game with multiple options to go to in order to succeed. Today with players just launching 3's and going for wide open cuts created through spacing, most don't even have a reliable midrange game anymore.

Exactly.. Players with better mid-range games do better in the clutch, when defense is played at a higher level.
The higher-level defense prevalent in the clutch necessitates a higher level of offensive sophistication (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11188520&postcount=37) than 3-and-D.
