fk only took him 26 shots wat bloke stat padded 4th quarter
blame it steph curry for ruining my beloved basketball that i used to love.
It's not just 3's, it's the offensive fouls that never get called, the lack of resistance on defense and on top of that teams only want to take 3 pointers
And….the refs decide the games.
3 pt. shot has ruined basketball
I recently went back and watched some 1990's classic games (Bull's v Sonics, Bulls v Magic). My conclusion? Today's game is so much more skilled and more entertaining. And, I grew up watching 90's 🏀.
Perk is preaching. So many players have developed bad habits like he said but it also falls on the HC. Some coaches play to their strengths but there hasn’t been many players dominating the paint like before. I think some teams will eventually get into more bully ball but there are so many BS rules and calls against that too 😪
The problem is the 3 is worth too much. If a team can shoot 40% from 3, that equals 60% from 2. The value of the 3 pointer should actually be 2.5.
The 3-point line should be moved further back, to make it more difficult to score threes. Nowadays it's pretty much the team that shoots threes at a higher percentage that wins the game. Dunks and mid-range shots used to play a bigger role in the '90s, which I kinda miss.
Oh so we're just supposed to stop shootins 3s now? I mean, it gets more points and wins games. That's all that matters to teams. I don't see the problem…
I love the 3’s and if we being honest today’s basketball & the upcoming players the only thing they really in the gym working on is shooting the ball rather it’s 3s, in the paint or free throws!!! Nobody’s worried about layups or dunks because it’s so simple so easy to do like lacing your shoe simple
The fact is.. the rims are magnetic. And all players know it.. so when a team senses they are turned on.. they start chucking three.. period
Man this league is so corny, it's only a few players people want to see now, how before there were so many players that people wanted to see plus everybody shooting 3's now
Completely agree. The rules make it so these teams all take stupid threes, so if a team misses their dumb threes and the other gets lucky and makes their dumb threes it's a blowout. The stupidity of the game makes it too hard to watch.
If you hate the excessive 3's then make the 3 point shot into a 2.5 pt shot and players wont take it as much because it wouldn't be worth it. Dont hate on the young generation for seeing what works on TV. Taking a midrange or a deep 2 is stupidity since you can take 1 step further and shoot a 3 pointer. Dont hate the player, hate the game.
I'm from this era and to be honest I like the mid range more than the 3 pt, I don't think it's bad to shoot 3 pt shots but there are many teams that want to depend on that, they prefer to give an unnecessary extra pass or receive a block in the paint before taking a mid range shot
Warriors were making money in the paint .. and it is frustrating seeing them kick it out for 3s.. and can someone please let Poole know he ain’t curry yet.. Boi dribbling himself out his shoes
Splash Bros💧vs Brick Bros 🧱
3 points are not ruining basketball people thought that the dunk was going to ruin it or the crossover dribble was going to ruin it i mean please just stop it 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, highlight Luka’s strengths in a game 4 when he’s playing against scrubs, as if it means anything. NBA wants to maximize games for profit, as does the organizations. Wake up and stop pretending this isn’t true – money never fails, stupid.
I agree with perk 3s is overrated and lot of them bad shots
110% agree it’s not as fun to watch for me personally
It's a 3pt track meet
Delta go mavs
People will copy those who win. Golden State become champion because they dominate the 3 point line more importantly they have the best shooters. Dallas win because they make 20 3pointers. Can they do it for another 3 games. Nahh…
Luka would go to Chicago hood where mfs are hooping with guns and luka would talk trash to those mfs and let me tell you what those Chicago mfs would love him. 😂😂 I think luka is one of the white dudes in the history of the league even the OG appreciate
i have the perfect solution. Make 3 pointers count as 2 points only. Then make the 2 pointers count as 3. Reverse it. This will definitely encourage more drives
Someone needed to say it. These playoffs have been awful.
Missed 3 point attempt should cost the team 1 point.
Teams are too reliant on 3 point shooting. Teams are actually scoring less these playoffs because of how inefficient these teams are. The problem is that EVERYONE is shooting 3’s. Only 35%+ shooters should be taking those shots. Everyone else needs to focus on higher % shots.
God i cant stand Lowe
Every NBA player thinks they can be Steph Curry these days, it’s awful to watch
I have no issues with teams taking threes but when they are not falling, the gameplan has to change. This decision to live and die by the 3 is why Dallas is getting knocked out. In the 2nd half of game 2, when their 3s stopped falling, they kept taking them instead of changing the gameplan. There is a valid reason for going to the hoop when shots are not falling. Its to try and rediscover some rhythm. Old heads aren't saying it to hate.
90s utah jazz back then had boring pattern of offense style with pick n roll routines by stockton and malone but now compared to 3point contest in a game initiates by steve kerr I am preferred to watch 90s utah jazz
Curry and analytics has changed basketball in a negative way! From AAU to the nba chucking 3’s !
Ppl were praising curry for changing the game , now they see he has ruined the game
Change the rules! In and out the paint same points
When the Nuggets had a WIDE OPEN lay up a couple years ago at the end of regulation to tie the game and Murray kicked it out for a 3 instead of going for the lay up I knew the NBA as it used to be was dead forever , players are shooting way way too many 3s
The result of playing 2k so much is rubbing off on the players in real life 😂😂 I thought only 2k you could blow out teams like this
Kendrick Perkins Is More Old School Than New School So That Is Why He Said What He Said…..Blame It On The Rules Instead Of The Players In My Honest Opinion!!!
Nothing is Wrong with the 3 point shot. The Players and Coaches have to get better! Plain and Simple. A missed shot is a missed shot whether its a dunk, mid range or 3. Contested or uncontested. All these people are complaining because A guy like steph curry is dominating the league with skill instead of a Super dupper athletic low IQ player because he is physically gifted. thats not basketball.
The NBA has turned into a long three point contest. It’s a low percentage shot unless you’re Steph Curry. If you live by it, you die by it.
Alot of LebronSexuals in the Comments. lol 3point shooting is a skill. Basketball is a Skill game.Being tall Strong and Athletic is not! Sorry not Sorry!
KD n Luka I smell a chip
The three point era has made basketball boring. I mich prefer 90s or 2000s style where crossovers were more common
