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

and leave a lot to be inferred by the reader.

I guarantee you some people will read the graphic and think that non-key 2 point shots have almost disappeared completely. This is of course not true. The magnitude of the change can be minuscule to make the graph look the way it does.

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

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

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?

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

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

kansascougar

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

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

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.
