If the NBA took away the 3 point line.....

Which player and/or team would suffer the most.

Obviously, Warriors and Rockets wouldn't be the same.

Derozan would probably be the best player in the league

I always remember whenever I'd play pickup and there was no 3 point line or 3 pointers allowed (not my rules ) I'd hate it because it completely changes the game. Like nobody will come out to guard you,

But my midrange is GOAT so it really didn't matter much


Anyways, I just think the 3 point line has too much power in todays game, to the point that even centers are shooting it now and some are even taking more than guards.

Remember the greatest player of All Time didn't need 3 pointers to dominate.
The 3 pointer should be a luxury not something teams depend on night in and night out to survive.

can confirm I have played games with these rules in pick up where we still sauce the other team while shooting nothing but threes

 

[the cool]

We play with 4 and 5 pointers here in dallas pickup games

 

[Malta]

Grizz would have 3 titles.

[Th3G3ntleman]

DeRozan likely ends up a top 5 SG all time.

none, we had the best players on the floor

 

[CantStop]

Steph Curry would be Tyler Ennis status

 

[Bay Area]

Klay would be screwed but Steph finishes at the rim at a higher percentage than any guard in the league

nikka dont lie to us.. We family here

 

[DoubleClutch]

Grizz would have 3 titles.

LeBron would have only ONE

Yeah, I'm sure that's due to his size, strength, and athleticism, not the fact that you have to respect him from 35 feet and the floor is spread out with late help

If dudes have to play inside the 3 pt line, the league is gonna have to be forced to reduce the reffing to the levels it was back during the actual time there wasn't a 3 pt line.

Dudes like Steph & that lay up % wouldn't survive point blank. Hell he doesn't even thrive in the closest atmosphere to the game of yesteryear: the playoffs. So that's one of your premier top 10 players getting eliminated right there
