The 3-point shot was created for people who couldn't play basketball

[the cool]

Not to sound coli-ish but this has a hint of racism to me. Oh no, a black boy can actual shoot with precision and be a star, not just a fast running, bunny hopping dunking clown. No longer can we stress the "fundamentally" sound white kids, who are givin an unfair chance at the NBA because of lack of athleticism.

everything is racist on the coli

Basketball is a game of skill, not just athleticism.

I remember I saw a comedy special years ago where one of the comedians said the 3 pointer was created to keep white guys in the league. There could be a hint of truth to that.

Im actually sort of agreeing with this

I mean... It may not be a popular opinion on the Coli of all places .... which is why im surprised the OP even bothered to post it here..

But its true. He's absolutely right. Ive heard about this for years. When Bill Russel, Wilt, Big O and them came into the league and started stuntin on all these 5'11 white dudes, they then added the 3 pt shot to even the odds and give the less gifted players a chance to make an impact... A lot of old time basketball purists believe that the 3 pt shot actually ruined the game. The original point of basketball was to find the highest % shot and take it. The highests % shot was meant to be as close to the basket as possible. The philosophy against the 3 pointer was that you shouldnt be rewarding players for taking lower % shots. A shot from down town should be a high risk low reward decision, and teams should be encouraged to find a better shot instead. When it was first introduced some people feared that the game would one day evolve to the point where the 3 pt shot became the primary option for most offenses, which would effectively kill basketball and turn it into a wacky 3 pt contest.

What? That doesn't make any sense. If you're too small. too slow and can't dribble. You ain't getting your 3 off

Not if you you have really good point guard teammate.

All you got to do is let the other team forget about you standing in the corner and wait for the no look pass

I know this because I was a husky 5"5 with googles....but my J was wet
