I dont hate the 3, but it has changed the game in ways I dont particularly care for.
Pop hates the 3

Pop won championships because of the three. At least this is better discussion than his politics...

I agree with him and don't understand why people think its hypocritical.
He did not say he did not do better because of the rule, only said that it made the game more boring.

Hes just mad because he is having trouble adjusting to how the NBA has changed in the last few years. NBA is at an all-time high in fan popularity. Spurs just arent an elite team right now. Sour grapes. Hes crotchety.

Don Nelson used to get hell for his offensive style....now it is the thing


Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone elses.

It's not the 3 point line
The league allows more of a zone defense and has changed rules that have ended tough, physical defense play.

Thus, there are more quick players with shooting range and fewer bruising post players.

The league was most boring in the late 90s/early 00s when many teams would play isolation offense, setting up either a pick and roll or a one on one mismatch on every play. That was boring.

I like the teams that try to be the Warriors and go 6 for 35 on 3's.

no kidding, you have a team that has the 3 best shooters in league history and everyone thinks they can do the same. People think defensive basketball is boring? watch a game where both teams are jacking 3's and missing all of them. That is boring.

How about a jackpot circle? A circle that randomly moves around the court with continuously changing random numbers in it. Shoot from the circle and make the shot, get the number of points shown in circle.

I remember basketball before the 3-point line...and it sucked. The 3-point shot and 24 second time clock were the smartest thing the NBA ever did. Back in the 60s' college basketball was 5 short white kids dribbling the ball FOREVER! Grrrr,shoot the dam ball already!

I totally disagree. If there had not been a 3-point shot, the Spurs would have won anyway. Their "3" was Tony Parker, Manu GInobli, and Duncan/Robinson. They were a great team.

I hate what the game I used to love has become. I may be an old fuddy-duddy but I wouldn't lose a minute of sleep if they did away with the 3-pointer. When you can have a 3 on 2 fast break, where the ball is kicked out to a guy standing at the side 3-point line, the game has regressed.

JMO. You can have yours.


Be safe,
