Another great Pistons draft pick
How can you suck at shooting, when you have nothing but time to devote to it and your career and money depends on it?
I'd have five shooting coaches and trainers.

Had me checking to see if this was NBACentel
because surely the king of losing 3-1 didn't say this shit
I used to try to defend the black man, but I can't anymore
He's bum simmons 2.0
I deleted that shit on twitter x, because they shouldn't be on there.
Rivers has an ego and of course he says dumb shit.
Probably why he don't get a enough credit because he's a traditional big and doesn't move nor score like players such as embiid.
Break out year loading....
I've been saying this for YEARSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there's nothing exciting about watching teams pass up layups and midrange shots to jack up 20+ three pointers only hit 7 and saying if they shoot at least 35% then it's a good percentage...smh I don't really blame Steph though because the Warriors relied mostly on TWO players Steph and Klay to be their 3 point threats, it was these other teams that decided in order to beat them FOUR-FIVE players on the court had to shoot the 3

Reading lips? I think the man said something like...
"Baby I get it but we never see the whole earth from space. And sometimes the b word just comes out when you talking politics. I'm just saying maybe Jamar has a point and saying it wrong? Baby? Baby?"
Bronny looked like the worst basketball player I've ever seen in my life in the first quarter. Good to see he got more comfortable as the game went on.
Steph ain't ruin shit, bums thinking they can shoot like Steph ruined it.
Everyone can shoot a basketball so they think that they can shoot a 3 and make it. And they can't.
Steph makes his 3's. If these muthafuckas wanna emulate MJ by missing dunks from the free throw line go ahead!

I don't think Steph ruined it
But when I read that comment I immediately thought of Bob Ryan.
But I do think in every sport a player a coach or a system comes around and completely rocks the establishment
Steph Jordan the triangle Steve Walsh Gretzky Air Raid, amoeba, Princeton offense, Mike Martz Rams offensive etc etc all "messed" the game up to an extent.
Sidebar: we as an audience people fan base and society have ALLOWED click bait hot take so called journalism to exist and thrive so real debate is dead.
I remember when teams had one player, most times a white guy who was their designated 3 point shooter..lol

Oh and Bob old cracker ass came around
I do think that people thinking that they can or wanna shoot like Steph ruined the game.
That and the analytics of 3's being more than 2's forcing teams to shoot more 3's ruined it also.
I can't blame Steph, I blame people wanting to be like Steph. And to be honest, watching people make 3's is exciting.
When I play I shoot lots of 3's too!
But it's always been like that.
Let me guess this guy's top five greatest basketball players are.
Larry Bird
Jerry West
John Stocton
Dirk Nowitski
Nikola Jovic.
@playahaitian Steph's "Influence" may have ruined the game along with analytics, but not him.
It's all in the wording.

That's the problem only a very small percentage of people are doing it consistently, in no scenario is 35% considered a good percentage but they want us to believe hitting 35% of your 3 pointers is a good thing. Watching Caitlin Clark play this year made it even more clear to me, chick taking 8-12 three pointers a game and only hitting 2 or 3 of them and I'm seeing people saying well the league average is 33% so she's good
Get used to it, everybody wants to try to be the warriors with everyone looking to shoot a 3. Big men today don't have to play in the paint anymore, it's either a mid range shot or 3. I miss how players would score and not try to shoots 3s all the time whether that was a layup or midrange shit to get points and the 3 was a bonus shot making it. So, things have definitely changed and you also see hardly no defense in the regular season which is why the score be so high with almost every player out there looking like they're having a 3-point contest. I've come to accept what the NBA has become today.

Ain’t nobody said shooting 2 for 8 or 3 for 12 shooting 3’s is a good or an ok shooting game.
You’re stretching it a bit. Shit 2 for 8 or 4 for 12 is a bad shooting game on 2’s or 3’s.
No i'm not either, did you read my other comment if a team shoots 35% from 3 it considered a good game from 3 because that's the league average, their reasoning is the "analytics" say 33% from 3 is equal to 50% from two
Right, I hate this analytics shit, if you ask me, I think that shit is the worst and should never existed. It's really inaccurate information how a player is doing shooting those 3s. Because 2s are just as valuable as 3s.
Yesterday the Rockets shot 34.9 percent which was 15 for 43 shooting 3's.
Missing almost 30 threes when you took 43 is not considered good or OK shooting no matter what they told you.
At least not in my opinion but it is to you and jawnswoopity

Lol...did you even read our comments both of us clearly said it's terrible but the game is trying to tell us it's not. When the Rockets missed 27 straight 3 pointers in the playoffs a couple years ago some of these basketball experts and some of the people in these comments tried to say the Rockets are a 3 point shooting team so they had no problem with it because it's live by the 3 die by the 3Yesterday the Rockets shot 34.9 percent which was 15 for 43 shooting 3's.

But @pookie you are correct about the low 33% or whatever it is averages, and teams goals are to shoot better than that thinking it's ok.
It's analytics etc but it's still shitty shooting, at least in my opinion.
This ain't baseball so batting 300 ain't like shooting 30%, at least not to me.
