Steph was the final straw. There had been a concerted effort to open the game up and speed to the game up and boost scoring. The 3 was becoming more and more important. Him and the way the Warriors played (and won) was the final step.

No its not good IMO because there is no room for variety. Everybody gotta shoot a billion 3s. We cant get a fair post game vs 3pt shooting battle because everything is titled towards the perimeter with the zone and freedom of movement on the perimeter only. Two great players cant play togethet if one doesnt shoot 3s.

Teams were already shooting more 3s, but what Curry did was change how players shot threes

Cats feel emboldened to shoot logo 3s and crazy off-the-drible 3s more than they ever did thanks to Steph freeing up the game.

I think it's hit or miss, literally. When the players are hitting those shots, it's electric :yeshrug:

I still contend that it was Houston that actually changed the game when they had a bunch of mid ass 3 point shooters firing them up and damn near beat Golden State. That showed teams that you don't need great three point shooters to build your offense around generating three point looks.
