I absolutely love the three as a side dish,
1) because it can pull a team back into a game,
2) it can force teams to defend the perimeter, thereby opening the lane,but when it becomes the main course, it's almost as bad as running a stall.
I could not agree more. I see kids jacking shots up today with no hope of making any. 10 years ago they would have been punched in the face for shooting one. Nowadays that's all they shoot.
Welcome back Bip. Good to see you. With that said...
When I was student teaching physical education, I was allowed to play some bball games with the students during recreational periods. I won't say where obviously. It was the most frustrating thing to watch because all they wanted to do was jack up 3s while shouting "Splash brothers!!" Yuck.
Please don't act like you know me. You don't know me!
Oh my bad. I'm so sorry to huwt your feewlings.

I agree. All AAU kids look for nowadays are the "hero plays" or the toughest 3 possible. 1 6'8 big man with no shooting ability whats so ever had a wide open layup, instead he dribbled the ball out to brick a 3. Never watched another AAU game after that.

This idea has a lot of merit.
A center can't stand in the paint. But a three point shooter can stand outside and pitch a tent especially that corner three.

When a big man can take the post and make it work, then you will have dominance.
Centers today are no longer fat (Sweetney, Duckworth, Tractor Traylor, Oliver Miller, Eddy)and that era is gone.
Where are the big guys? I don't know. Shaq ate them all up!
Where are the skills? DJordan can't shoot free throws, Dwight never improved, Javale Mcgee is lazy, And others get hurt.
3 point line was there in the hand check era, and was there in the Bad Boy era, knicks, and Bulls era.
Zone defense forces the game out to the parimeter as well.
those games were exciting like going into battle you didnt know if charlie ward was going to start punching browns knees or if JVG was going to be swinging on oaks legs . the nba has stripped itself of physical play as well as physical rivalry between teams there is no rivalry like the knicks heat of the 90's.
the nba should at least consider bringing back the hand check to stop all the chucking from downtown. less zone defense too . like bring back illegal defense.
has the nba speeded up yes, its time to slow it down just alittle by being able to guard the 3 with diginty let defense's be allowed to force teams away from the 3 point shot

I really don't care where or what Bip belongs in, but could someone please let BasketBallJones know I'm not Bip?
If it isn't forcefully and painfully corrected, I'm going to get delusions of grandeur. I can feel it.
By the way, thanks everyone for replying to my brilliance. It really helps justify my existence as a pathetic Melo loving homer.
And Spree was still ten times the SG H2O was. Or never was. Or wasn't. Whatever.
