Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3024653, member: 8636"] As I said in my response, "the strategy is more complex than just the percentage values". I played the game with no 3-point line. Another factor in the discussion is what I call "risk-reward", a golf term. If I try to cut the corner of a dogleg, the strategy has a risk and an appropriate reward if you pull it off. If there is no risk, or a less than appropriate risk, the game's integrity is skewed. I don't think the 3-point shot has enough risk. In fact it may even have other advantages too such as long rebounds for the offense. In summation, if you have skilled players and you are not shooting a lot of 3's, then you're dumb. The absolute ideal is to penetrate the defense and reap the benefits of that such as easy hoops and free throws and spot up for 3's if the defense reacts. [/QUOTE]
