Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 5199043, member: 488"] I know I certainly don't. I mean it's one thing to watch Ray Allen or Steph Curry launch 10+ threes in a game. People pay money to watch great shooters shoot. It's another thing when it's Brook Lopez or Al Horford. The NBA is encountering a similar problem now that MLB did 20-25 years ago in that competitive instinct of the franchises to maximize the efficiency of their players through data analysis has begun to compromise the aesthetic appeal of the product. You might be seeing more homeruns but you're also seeing a hell of a lot more swings and misses. Unfortunately, more threes leads to more variance, which ultimately leads to more parity. And I think that's what the league wants. The days of Shaq or Duncan winning the title every year are long gone. [/QUOTE]
