he's not entirely wrong so there must be some context missing from this statement. the 3 point shot is essential for championship ball, but it has to be complimentary.

need post threats, good slashers to draw d and kick out, unselfish ball movement/passing around the horn. without those things shooting a high percentage from the arc won't get you far.

But the Lakers are Averaging less than 5 3pt Attempts a game so far

Also tell the Mavericks in 2011. At first I liked how Scott wanted to focus on easier shots but now it seems he's just going full retard with this
Looking at that roster, not sure where those "easier" shots are supposed to come from.

modern analytics have proven that mid range shoots aren't nearly as effective as old school cats think that's why everyone is laughing at coach Scott

we also played more games than anyone stupid. i bet our 3pt fg att/game average that year wasn't that high.

fukk up fakkit, the Celtics whom Lakers beat were second behind with 90 less attempts in the entire postseason. Lakers were top 10 in regular season as well..

Long 2's definitely don't win championships. The AI era is over with. FG% matters now.
