thats not really how math works though. And those percentages are skewed because alot of those shots were end of quarter heaves, they rarely do that now.
The Warriors and Mavs combined for 48 made 3s - the most ever in regulation NBA history

Thanks to the lawyers uh, I marbled the foyer
Once again c00n-Scott Heroin can’t read the room
These nikkaz combined for 95, yes 95 threes, one team shot 54 of them
At the time of this post, the tweet has 865 likes
By comparison a standings update currently has more
Mind you, the NBA has 47 million twitter followers,
that ratio of likes to followers is an embarrassing 0.00184% … yikes
Nobody wants to see this shyt
They shot over 50% from the 3, GSW even shot better from the 3 than the 2.
It makes sense, just like 55-60 yard FGs make sense nowadays cause everyone is doing it
But yes, it might make basketball boring to many. Just like many might find defensive strategic boxing boring, although it’s effective.
If people had these skills before they’d use them.

My g, why are you still hung up on the number of misses? Every game has missed jumpshots.
Teams today aren't missing any more shots, relative to eras of the past. You will have games where the bad shooting teams shoot poorly, and you'll have games where the good shooting teams shoot well. This has always been the case as long as the league has existed.
It's almost as if cats either didn't watch bad teams play 20-30 years ago, or they completely forgot about how bad those bad teams were because they erase those memories and only remember the good teams.
You mean like this -
Players hit more circus shots off moves more than they did in the past, largely because there's fewer restrictions on what constittutes a bad shot. In the past it was more about sticking to the traditional nature of generating offense.
And why are y'all talking like jumpshots in the past weren't largely set shots? The PG would come down the floor waiting for someone to get open or get to their spot and shoot a 16fter. Not everyone was MJ majestically shooting fadeaways. Cats like Karl Malone had absolutely no flare or creativity to their game. Almost the entirety of his jumpshot diet was facing up and shooting elementary jumpers. The large majority of players played like this because that's what they were taught. They weren't taught to come down and shoot off-balance 3s, or put up shots 6ft behind the 3-pt line.
It's fine that y'all don't find the 3-ball entertaining (you can't get everyone to like something). But the reasons for why y'all don't find it enjoyable aren't really because it isn't entertaining, it's because of all the other stimuli that has shaped your experiences up to this point. Just like Gen Z, in relation, would find games like the Mavs/Warriors entertaining because that type of play has shaped their basketball sensibilities.
To make matters worse, the same folks who don't find the 3-pt shot entertaining, are the same ones who don't gravitate towards DeRozan. Despite him having a throwback game where he would be on 90s highlights reels, nobody really fukks with him or associates him with being entertaining. It's because y'all associate him with being a loser.
He shoots all the midrange and long 2s in the world, all with varying degrees of difficulty (he doesn't just attempt set shots), but yet y'all don't find him entertaining.
If we put a whole bunch of MJ/Kobe clones in today's game and if they didn't manage to be successful, y'all would just find ways to shyt on them calling them cheap imitations, inevitably disgusted at the thought of watching them because they don't compare to the real thing.

That’s because no one watches college basketball and those that do are rooting due to school pride like people root for the Olympic team. College baseball been bad there have been plenty of threads in the past about the poor play. Even the most die hard college fan could probably only name Cooper Flagg if asked to name a player.No and no.
College and Euroleague both take 3s at the same rate as the NBA. Kentucky and Louisville game too 60 3s out of 120 FG. 40% of the shots in college are 3s yet you don’t see college fans calling it unwatchable.
Memphis vs. Clemson:
127 FG, 55 3s
Wisconsin vs. Butler:
109 FG, 50 3s
Purdue vs. Texas A&M:
103 FG, 48 3s
Florida vs. Arizona St:
129 FG, 59 3s
All college games are like this. It’s the same 3-point rate as an NBA game just fewer possessions and shorter games.
Why aren’t college fans calling NCAA “unwatchable”. Or Europe, or womens basketball or literally any other league?
Probably because they don’t have the containment of MJ/‘90s stans looking for any way to prop their era. The flabhead plumbers are all over here.
If the league bans 3s then it’ll just be on to the next thing that makes the NBA “unwatchable”. If players start hitting fadeaways at too high a rate you better believe these same nikkas are gon be like “wow this shyt is unwatchable, look at all these fadaeays, we need to ban the fadeaway y’all. MJ is still the best tho”.
You still on my dikk like a groupie lmao.
You do this everyday, no way this shyt normal or healthy, unless you gay, then I mean no offense.
