Charles Barkley gives his two cents on the state of the game during halftime of Warriors/Mavs

[Nero Christ]

I hear that. I think what's happened is the three ball has helped bad and middle of the road teams be able to win some more games. But the best of the best still have they're own style. Especially in the playoffs

what we've seen with the championship teams is they have the ability to win multiple ways...they're serviceable in getting buckets inside, from midrange, and from 3 and can win defensive battles too...that still don't solve the problems of these regular season games being copy & paste mostly

But I mean...hasn't this always been the case? In every era, the good teams had their own style of play while a bunch of shytty teams played bad basketball with isos or lumbering unathletic dudes posting up for 20 seconds.

This is what other brehs were talking about when he said y'all are prisoners of the moment. You guys literally look at the good teams and games from your era that stick out the most in your memories and compare them to some random mid-season game involving lottery teams.

Of course the bad teams do pale imitations of the championship formula and jack up a ton of 3's on low efficiency - they're trash! They suck because they SUCK, not because they shoot too many 3's

Take away the three point line

Chuck says dumb shyt but he right about this .. not even remotely interested in these games shyt is super boring

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

So we'd rather have a bunch of mid range jumpers?

Naah just a balance

 

[livindajetlife]

And it reflects in the online 2k community too


Curry slide. Curry slide. Curry slide behind a screen.... 3. Rinse. Repeat. Turn off console/ESPN.

Also these young nikkas play like that.. we hoopin, I steal a pass we got a 2 on 1 , instead of running the lane with me to get a easy lay up bruh runs to the 3 point line.. all I see nowadays shyt crazy to me and I ain't even 30

Jimmy Butler cleared out the whole left side of the court just to jack up a 3 against the Hornets the other night. That nikka aint shoot a 3 all night before that. shyt is ugly right now.

people need to realize that it wasn't golden state that started the 3pt revolution but Dantoni

when GSW was dominating people still thought they shot a lot of threes because they had the luxury of two of the greatest shooters ever

it was Dantoni who showed that even average players spamming threes are more beneficial in the long run

the game is broken

I think the only solution is to get rid of the three

 

[theflyest]

Game has been catered to white people. Been saying that for years.

 

[mindgawn]

Man Fux Chuck...aint have much to say about trash Harden and the Rockets at the time

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

Damn the Mavs tried to play NBA 2K in real life?
And the NBA has changed drastically. Everybody scared to play defense nowadays. I'm glad to have grown up before 2010s and seen all of the real action.

Dubs took a lot of mid ranges as well. And yeah everyone didn't have Steph, KD, and Klay

He should quit.

1993 ain't coming back, Charles.
