I think that the way the game is watered down and all everyone does is shoot 3 points it waters down the skill set of how basketball is supposed to be played. I like 3 point shooting but there are more things to the game of basketball. Even though the basketball players who play defense and can't touch the players yet more players are still getting hurt and I don't know why. Do you know why?
I still believe the way the NBA is build with their laws it hurt more teams like the Knicks and the Lakers.

Funny thing..Was watching the Warriors/Spurs game last night...Curry juked his man at the top of the key and got into the lane...He faked another guy in the lane and went behind his back changing hands and did a lefty layup at the rim untouched...Came down smiling and ran up court..He came down on the next possession and did it again without going behind his back..First of all, he wouldn't have the guts to do that in the early 90s...How on earth this guy didn't get a hard foul is beyond me...Oak/Mase/Starks would have crushed him...

The game has changed so much..No hand checking on the perimeter...I had my doubts about Curry when he first came out of college..All the rules changes suits the perimeter players and his game... Good for them...

Case and point, Ibaka has been working on his outside shot and three point shot...Last 4 years his team needed some low post offense...Why would he ever work on his low post game??..

one of the problems is everyone thinks they must be able to dunk in order to play in the NBA

I would change it so you get 3 pts for a mid range shot and only 2pts for what is now a 3pter, just until players and coaches start using the midrange game. Then I'd switch them every month.

why don't they just move in the line to 18 feet?

Because there would be a small moat around the 18ft arc, with crocodiles at the bottom of it, just to deter that kind of thing.

the range of players has increased and all players could shoot now, I think there actually should be a 4point line

Each team should be allowed 6 more players on the court. The court should be extended by about 60 yards to make room for this, and the baskets should be replaced by goalposts. Every "basket" counts for only one point though. Also, the court is too hard, players get hurt. So replace that with grass, which of course can't grow properly inside, so the games will have to take place outside.

Yup same. Those were the 3 teams. Every time we played those teams it was like the Super Bowl. It's been way too long

Not many players have a mid range game anymore, I guess the numbers say to go for 3. Its a shame.

Maybe there should be a limit to how many 3s you can shoot in a quarter just how many fouls you are allowed and then you go to the penalty .
