3 point shot killing the NBA?

[Big Poppa Puck]

I think the league being run by the players ( hello there Mr. James ) is what is killing interest in the NBA.

That too. Silver has no spine. No one says he has to be a dictator but he went so far above and beyond the opposite of Stern.

It seems Silver didn't start watching Basketball until he got the job. One thing I liked about the Olympics is that the refs let them play. You don't see so many tic tac fouls that don't impede play. It's the reason why flopping is at an all time high.. Players know when they are dribbling to the basket an embellishment 8/10 is going to get them a call. Every time a player throws his head back is an embellishment 95% of the time. The eye in the sky should be able to call it down or a coach should be able use a challenge.

I should have added " run by players and their agents " to my post with Rich Paul easily being the worst offender. Hmmmm.....Mr. James and Rich Paul - is there any link there ????

So Chicago Boston had 109 three-point attempts

Hearing inside the NBA talk about it is hilarious

Look up Shaq talk about it.

He ain’t mincing words, the league is a joke

109 attempts

Shaq can't shoot 3's.

Coaches are trying to utilize the 3 point shot more often than previous years yes. I don't blame them. It's entertaining to watch a lot more air balls now. This transition is exposing the less talented players/teams that's for sure.

Great topic. Nothing is going on in the nba with no prime LeBron James or no prime MJ. The league desperately needs the next real generational talent in the nba but that'll have to wait apparently. Or get some real rivalries going which would be wishful thinking in one of the softest sports world wide.
