Game Changer Playmaker

with some intermittent attempts at defense from the other team, and it actually counts as a real official NBA basketball game. Kinda sad.

Crazy graphic about how the game has changed

What does top 200 mean?

Top 200 shot locations

how you define a location is important to the graphic

Who are you asking? The guy who linked to someone else's tweet?

The only context I have is the graphic. The graphic certainly points to that

BertoChavez

so do you think it's misleading? I think 3 pt shots are up by 23 since 2000.

I don't. I think the parameters of the graphic are not ideal, though,

RE: It actually is true. Virtually all non-paint 2s have disappeared.

Can somebody get this man a heatmap. Judas priest.

I'd say the centroid of the body location for any given shot, then a buffer

Top by most taken? Most made?

Thats clearly a game changer

Romex

Agree. I really miss baseline turnaround fadeaways.

Sounds like your BIL made a weak argument, and you shut him down. Congrats.

You're right. Jumpers off a flex curl up to the free throw line are much

Why Tyler Haws didn’t make it into today’s NBA, in chart form.

His thriving is relative. The Spurs are a borderline playoff team.

Booker...though he gets to the rim and ft line a lot as well.

PHXSUNS31

1/15/20 8:22pm

Well, that and he isn’t athletic enough, quick enough, good enough at defense

kansascougar

1/15/20 7:36pm

True. Also reasons why jimmer isn’t in the nba despite having a range that reflects that chart.

AD4

1/15/20 8:06pm

If Jimmer just had a handle well enough to bring it up the floor he could make it in the NBA. He doesn't so he has to

shimmy

And normally 4 of 5 guys on the floor can legitimately shoot the 3 as well.

mudpupper

1/15/20 8:00pm

I don’t really care about how shot selection has changed. I just dislike that

Philosoraptor

1/15/20 8:55pm

I find 3 on 3 with two guys standing in each corner waiting for the kickout

No more baseline jumpers. Or any mid-range jumpers.
