The 3-point statistical argument is flawed. It goes something like this… A 40% avg in paint makes a typical shot down low worth 0.8 points. In contrast, NBA players are making one-third of their shots at 3-point range, so those shots on average are worth 1 point. Based on that math alone, all shots should be from behind the arc. The problem with that is it overlooks the importance of having a guy down low who can also 1. Attract the defense to him; and 2. Grab offensive rebounds and put it back in. In other words, when your bigs are outside, they’re doing nothing for you down low. So, yes, it’s essential for a team to shoot a lot of 3-pointers. But the big men shouldn’t be the ones shooting them. Unless they’re able too shoot far above the league average - say 40% or so - then they’re more valuable in the paint, letting a guard shoot from outside. And by the way, Wemby barely shot at NBA average last year, and this year he’s shooting an abysmal 22% from behind the arc. So he has absolutely no business out there firing up threes all day. He hurts the Spurs when he does that.
why weren't yall this upset when kd was doing the same stuff brah kd is a 7 footer that plays like a 2 guard kd deserves as much credit for changing the game just like curry
@@roronoaDzoro1111 I think it’s about the sheer volume Steph and the Warriors were shooting at and the fact dat you can see the statistical impact they had. KD took 5 or 6 threes a game most of his career and while a lot of the tall skinny off brand KDs like Ingram were obviously inspired by him, the overall 3 point impact on the NBA is Curry. Nobody was shooting 11 3s a game before 15-16 and then Curry did and suddenly everybody’s 3 point shooting elevated. Gasol went from takin literally 0 threes a game to 3 or 4 immediately after 15-16. Horford was taking 0.5 and then it suddenly leaped to 3 and up for the rest of his career in 15-16. KD’s impact was immense but I wouldn’t say it was as large as Curry’s. He had a big impact on a specific type of player but Curry had an impact on every position and completely shifted the way everyone played
So none of these big men had a mind of their own they all had to try to play like Steph? So different type of skill sets and positions just stopped existing because of Steph??! Man GTFOH People need to stfu with this whole Steph ruined the league or made everyone change their game narrative... STEPH PLAY HIS GAME THAT ONLY HE COULD PLAY....NOT EVERYONE ELSE....JUST HIM 😂😂 ITS TIME that all these grown ass UNORIGINAL big men take responsibility for their actions ...who told you to shoot that many 3s? Steph came out and said that!!?? who forced yall to play like that who told you yall had the personal to achieve HOW ABOUT WE START BLAMING PEOPLE LIKE COACHES GMs OWNERS PLAYERS.... CMON MAN LETS START BEING MEN AND START TELLING THE TRUTH AGAIN
I like your content man, keep it up.

Solid vid
big man guard tendinises kilt the game bra
A bit of background music and an outro would up your production quality, otherwise great video my gut.
I like watching teams shoot it out. Seeing crazy shots from 30 feet out is fun
