in today's NBA. You're not going to ever see it change back, it just doesn't make sense to. Not unless they get rid of the 3 point line, which they won't as that's now one of the most exciting parts of the game.

Not much room to extend in the corners and this would make it worse. You would

Some folks think removing the corner option is sort of the point.

More spacing makes the game better

Why?

That’s where you are wrong. Bulls shot 51% in 1991. Warriors led last year at

Players are so much better at shooting the 3 now it has changed the game

I'm sure it's that and has nothing to do with the hand-check rule.

The only reason why they are better is because that is all they practice. No way

Sorry but Popes offensive is closer to the modern game of analytics.

Mr. Scoobs

Absolutely. I think they were the best shooting team because they played 5-out.

I’m just confused why some expect Haarms and Harward to both start and play huge

Because there is far more football competency than basketball competency around
