    I've been a NBA fan forever but I don't like the current chuck and duck style of play

    Analytics say shoot 50 threes. I prefer the more balanced play but the way guys can shoot makes it unlikely to change

    Its not the way they can shoot. Jerry West would have a field day with the 3 pointer. It is the complete lack of defense. Last night Boston made 29 3 pointers. I coached at different levels K-12 over the years and one thing I know for certain, if they wanted to hoist 3 pointers in the 1st quarter, they wouldn't have shot any more the rest of the game. There is zero defense in the NBA out top.

    If I am Portland, I put the new center from CT down low to challenge every shot and put my best perimeter defenders out top and never them get a shot off over the 3 point line. There is a way to coach against the 3 pointer but the NBA has decided to go with athletes and not complete ball players. It excites the crowd and pays the bills. I get the money making aspect of offensive athleticism over team defense, but as you can see in the Olympics, foreign teams with far less talent are a challenge our all-star squad. Its still a good product because the athletes in basketball are without a doubt the best athletes in the world, just not the type of bball that I want to watch.

    In addition, Lebron's son is not a good college player let alone an NBA player. Its classic Los Angeles beautiful people manufactured feelings BS. Lebron is not in my top 10 as far as great basketball players goes. He is a superb athlete who is playing in a defenseless league. He could have been the best Tight End the NFL had ever seen.
