Even 3s looked more difficult to hit back then because players were allowed to play perimeter defense. Some of these shots were with someone in his face.
@BAMA-MAN256 explains why NBA ratings are down and its an absolute snorefest to watch. It's crazy how far removed we are from 2011 in terms of style of play and entertainment. That's not even 15 years ago. I am not saying let's go back to the 80s or 90s type fouls. But now we are at the opposite end of the spectrum. From 2000 to 2009 was probably my favorite version of the NBA.
@musicum22 even 80s or 90s wasn't rough besides the Knicks, Pistons, and occasionally the Heat. And the hand check rule was only allowed in the backcourt and most players didn't defend 94 feet anyways
Back when 8 threes was the record ... beautiful memories
He was one of the original deep 3 point shooters

It was before the landing space rule
In todays game players can’t close out like that or it’s a foul
