if not, why not? Nearly unstoppable 40+ years ago.

Kyrie Irving hasn't forgotten it (from last week).

Sportsmath favors 3 pointers, dunks, drive for layup or foul

I do miss mid-range jumpers and touch shots. Maybe some day they’ll come back but the math guys don’t like them. (.35)*3 > (.5)*2 they say. If teams can find a way to defend the 3 point line better maybe the equilibrium will swing back.

Analytics... gotta love em. (deep sigh) *

Shot chart 2000 vs 2023. Which game looks more interesting?

Which looks harder to defend? The pendulum has to swing back at some point.

Thing is a great mid range game can turn a game.

When the Mavs won the title in 2011 Dirk's mid range game was the difference. Teams couldn't defend a guy who could work around the rim, the mid range, and the 3 point line.
Zack Edey has kind of one

He doesn’t seem to go to it much, though.
