Why do some people think the 3 point shot is bad for basketball?

Why do some people think the 3 point shot is bad for basketball?

cause their team cant hit them

Damn I never realized that jordan was dark as fuck

nigga was black as night, made pippen look lightskin

Really? You've never looked at one of the most famous people ever?

I've never witnessed hotter big-game 3-point shooting than Klay Thompson's. Single-handedly kept GSW afloat until Steph finished it off. -Skip

Basketball is fundamentally be about figuring out how to put the ball in the basket, not how to exploit the rules to derive the most points. If a rule gets exploited to the detriment of the fundamental purpose of the game, it's not a good rule.

if a team shoots 50% of 3 point shots and 40% point shots, then you would be a real dumb ass not to shoot 3 pointers

It's not but please stop this Curry/Klay is GOAT meme. Excellent shooters and some of the best players playing today but they do not compare to guys like Magic, Jordan and Lebron. Sorry.

>40% 2 point shots

If that team existed then yes they would be better off shooting from far away even if the 3 point line didn't exist. In reality however the 3 point line essentially makes a 35% shot from 25 feet better than a 50% shot from 20 feet.

Because anybody who calls themselves a "fan" of GSW doesn't actually watch the games and see the sloppy and illegal screens that they set all game to get those 3's off.

It's just a meme to hate on the warriors and steph

>muh illegal screensfags

Gas yourself

And anybody using this tired ass argument doesn't actually watch any NBA games period, because every team sets illegal screens on just about every possession.

why don't the tall black men get in the way to stop people shooting three pointers?

I would have thought they would be good at that.

Because that means covering an area of about 1000 square feet with 5 people. Just because they're black doesn't mean they're superhuman.

why doesn't one person follow every member of the opponents team?

because they can't shoot thus it's bad losing to something that you suck dick at

That's where screens come in to play

That's called full court press, and good fuckong question

Based asianmathbro

Everyone does it, so we should totally ignore the fact that the warriors win by breaking the rules and chucking up what are practically long free throws, right? This team is such a pest that everyone will just be shooting threes in five years because you'll have to beat them at their own game if you want to win. Enjoy it while you can, because the warriors will fundamentally change the game for the worse. Enjoy your homerun derby tier game, guys.

Thanks Chuck.

This. So this.

being as good as they are at the 3 is bad for basketball, not the 3 pointer itself. it's supposed to be a last resort shot when the shot clock is winding down and you're getting stuffed in the paint. people aren't supposed to be as good as they are at it, and when they invented the 3 point line they never envisioned a team like this would exist.

Bogut and especially Green gets completely coddled by the refs, fuck off

Why does a 73 win team need the help anyways

Here's a simple rebuttal:

Then other teams need to just do it too. Oh, wait, they can't, they aren't as good as the GSW at it. Sucks to suck.
