Why the 3pt shot is better than a long 2

And why are there less possessions?!? Because thanks to the death of the pass first PG looking to run the ball the other team's throat on every possession and the extension of the true dominant low post players the modern teams have lost the ability to produce quick hitting offenses! Nothing more, nothing less. Coaches have taken more control over the attacks thanks to these two developments

Take a look of this video of the 1986 Celtics (greatest team ever) dismantling the Showtime Lakers in a regular season game at the garden. Watch the beauty and simplicity of their offensive schemes, 3 to 4 low post options at all times, pass first ball handlers looking to run and finding the open man on the fast break and when that open shot came, the players actually TOOK IT!!! without wasting time looking for a friggin 3 pointer. Enjoy this offensive symphony at its best and shed a tear for there will probably never another:
