that song at the beginning is so darn catchy. Sidenote, Blake Griffin and Brooke Lopez developed a 3pt shot. I don't know why people act like players pre 2000 couldn't do the same. Vince Carter became a 3pt specialist at the end of his career. Last point, I feel like a lot of these guys love taking the 3, because its less physical. Yet players still get injured a lot. So they play a more finesse game, take games off, have min restrictions, have far better medical care, and yet the players get injured just as much as the guys pre 2000s. hmmmm
3 pt shot is technically the easiest shot, even tho it's deeper, because you can shoot 30 percent from 3 and be considered effective, and you don't have to battle in the lane or mid range to get a shot, you just chuck it up there with minimal effort. Even someone like LeBron, a bad 3 point shooter, his fans think he is good because his percentage is in the 30s. Most people are in the 30s cause defense is illegal in this era of the NBA. Makes it a lot easier to hit a shot when you know the defender can't get within a foot of you.
@@IsaacMSingleton1 all facts. Me personally i was more of a football and track guy growing up. I sucked at basketball as I couldn't dribble and couldn't post. All I did was sit on the wing and shoot 3s and yet i was still effective lol. In any pickup game, the most out of shape overweight guys can still do good in runs if they can hit a couple of 3s in a game.
Handcuffing defensive players are also ruining the game as well. You can't claim that these players are more skilled when there's no defense being played
Agreed and some of these amazing 'handles' current players have are carries and travels. It's hard to guard something that shouldn't be possible/allowed
Watch MJ2KALLDAY's video called "we are witnessing the end of the NBA as we know it" its a great video breaking down the death of defense and how certain rules pretty much made the 3 point revolution possible.
We would lose the magnificent experience, that was watching Dennis Rodman or Mutombo, with this current 🤮🤮🤮defensive rules!!!! It's a complete krap!!! Bill Russell would be in handcuffs nowadays... Young players are soft... They use the gym only to get muscles.. and photos.. instagram etc.. It's not to compete...
Anytime time you eliminate a position or variety from a sport it makes it worse. The NBA has eliminated the center position, defense, and the point guard. The NFL has eliminated return specialists, onside kick specialist, the running back, the full back, and is well on their way to getting rid of linebackers as well. I imagine punters will follow. None of these sports has added a position or variety, only massively increased something that was already there.
Kobe was always a streaky shooter that record was not indicative of the best “difficult 3pt shooter” even at that time. All you have to do is point to curry’s dad if you need to. But the names that should be listed are Reggie miller and ray allen for that era. And you can still pull out tons of better names than Kobe lol. This kind of stuff goes back to pistol Pete who would’ve dominated Kobe in a game of horse or 3pt shooting. Same with Bird and even Jordan if they took 3s back then.
@@stolensentience Pistol Pete wouldn’t dominate Kobe in anything stop it. Kobe was making moving shots going out of bounds and shooting over the backboard. Making shots with his left hand while having torn rotator cuff on his right shoulder. Kobe was hitting double pump fake 3, fadeaway 3, deep pull-ups. He was hitting crazy shots like these to send game into OT and then would hit it again for the win. They moved the 3 point line further back after 98 and the 3 point line was something he needed to develop. Larry Bird did shoot 3s he was the founder of the 50/40/90 club. MJ preferred driving the to basket instead of shooting 3s. He stated that he doesn’t like taking too many threes because it would take away from his midrange and slashing game
The 1980s Lakers would wear out most of these current teams by halftime running their fast break offense. When teams run their half court sets today it's typically one player dribbling the ball while four other player camp out at the three point line and on occasion cut to the basket looking for an easy layup.

I think I’d be ok with much of the game today if they actually played within the actual rules and the refs called the game based on those rules. I get there will be missed calls here and there but ignoring violations completely changes the game entirely.
Shit like this is why ppl "hate" on Bron. He takes every chance he gets to big himself up and will at same time say he's not ok with accepting praise. Dude is psychotic and his fanboys call it IQ 🤦🏽♂️
Everybody can shoot 3s now, so what? That doesn't make them more skilled. The flipside is, nobody can post-up and play back to the basket anymore (besides maybe Embiid and Jokic). Who's dancing around defenders like Hakeem in today's NBA? Who has the footwork of a David Robinson, Patrick Ewing or Karl Malone? Skillsets changed rather than improved.
Exactly. And without those 7ft monsters clogging the paint it changes the game completely. Almost nothing came easy on the inside before. Makes it that much easier to get up on your assignment on the perimeter knowing you got a Mutumbo or a Shaq backing you up if anything gets by
The 1980s: 29% 1990s: 35% 2000s: 35% 2010s: 35% 2020s: 36% Those are the 3 pt shooting % from each decade. Today's players aren't shooting 3s at a better % they're simply taking more 3s.
Even today who has the athleticism of wilt or bill Russel at there size. Russel jumping over defenders for rebounds and being player coach which LeBron should be and wilt well we all know wilt
This new 3 point era didnt ruin the game. The absolute disdain for defending those 3s did. You know when we'll start seeing less ridiculous 3 pointers? When they are defended. Shocking righr? Maybe that'll evolve the game into easier and more open mid range shots and lay ups. The price of an attempted 3 will go up and a new balance will naturally occur. The current balance is: we all agree we dont really wanna make an effort, so let's have an all star game every single game.
I’m so happy guys like you keep your foot on LeBalco neck. Otherwise the lemedia will continue to ruin the sport we all fell in love with!! Great work AOH.
yeah the only thing I have to say about this is there would have been only one other person that would have performed on Curry's lvl with being an absurd 3point shooter and that was West because he routinely hit shots from the same distance as Curry does but unfortunately he didn't have the benefit of having a 3pt line... so sure Steph changed the game because he's the 2nd plyer all time to be able to stretch the floor the way he can
That’s why STATS are SO MISLEADING NOWADAYS..if you shootings a TON of 3 pointers of course u can have 30 or 40 points..It’s the EASIEST way to score EVER..they’re SO TALENTED 😩😩
James used the game to get what he wanted. He has no concern or love for the game at all. Hence his juicing to keep himself in shape just enough to continue his stat padding. And every time he mean mugs for the cameras, it just shows you how completely delusional this dude is.
For most legends, it wasn’t about the name on the back of the jersey. It was about the ONE on the front. As long as the jersey says JAMES, LeBron will not give a fuck and continue to stat pad.
@@J23LA24 Yup. And we followed our TEAMS, not players. And that is a big part of the reason why there were rivalries, and actual competition. I grew up in Chicago, and those Knicks, Pistons, Cavs, Pacers rivalries were LEGIT. And produced some of the best basketball ever played. Damn, the League has gone Charmin soft.
Well LeBron truly screwed up the NBA… Made it okay to join super teams, made it okay to flop to try to win games, made it okay to scream at refs, made it okay to use the social media platform to punish teammates and other rants, etc;…. I mean, someone else may be able to say this better than me but LeBron really screwed up a lot of things…
And most importantly lebron screwd up the NBA by making it okay to pad stats like assists points and rebounds when theirs 4 other players on the court who have to sacrifice their roles for Lebron.
This whole 3 point shooting tactical crap is such a misnomer; it's a fabricated narrative created the league solely to make the game look prettier in an attempt to draw more casuals as core bball fans check out, except ratings continue to plummet. There's a reason 3 point run& gunn never worked all them Dantoni years until the league started changing the rules to remove defense. The bottom line is if you're playing against a team that plays solid defense, boxes out and limits you to 1 or maximum 2 shots a possession and knows how to capitalize on long misses by turning long misses into fastbreak points... you will lose every time. Defense is what wins chips. Period. It's just that reckless 3 pointers is now replacing defense cause the league front office has removed defense and the players are now accustomed to not playing defense. EDIT: and the difference between 2s and 3s is most 2s won't result in long misses that turn into fastbreaks for the other team. Maybe a few of the long 2s that miss. But most 3s that miss would certainly mean fastbreak the other way if the opponent is getting to that loose ball.
The Bibby-Webber-Divac Kings legit had 5 players on the court who could nail the 3. I and others felt like they should have just started jacking up 30 3s a game but Adelman didn't capitalize on what we had in that regard.
demar derozan's problem was never his inability to take 3s reliably in his prime. It was his subpar defense, and non-existing playmaking because casey cant draw up a play and runs lebron ball with derozan and lowry, without the refs on his side. He could have been so much better, his game was beautiful
@@SAINT_PATRICK yea I know, I’m just saying if all these other things went his way, say if he was in San Antonio before his decline. He would have been a real beast. Unfortunate
The early 2000’s suns were the first real iteration of pace WHILE prioritizing 3’s as a team. Even those 90’s rockets and mid 2000’s Magic who used threes, it still revolved around a dominant big man. And really was implemented to give the big more space down low. Now everybody just runs around and throws up 25 ft bombs. Boringgggggg 🥱
I remember in the early 2000s all the old NBA guys complaining that no one in the league could shoot anymore. Then the 3pt revolution comes along and almost everyone can shoot and now they complain all the 3pt shooting is ruining the game. I want to see the corner 3pt shot eliminated. Carry the arc right to the sideline. And I want to see defensive 3 seconds removed from the game.
In 90s almost every team had their own style of play and stars played majority of the games so the matchups were more competitive. Problem is 2000s couldn't match the star power of 90s and ratings dropped so league over corrected with changing the rules instead of just waiting for the talent to get better like it did in 10s. Had league not made any changes I think they'd be alot more popular and there would be less complaints. Thts imo anyway
Love this channel. It was a privilege growing up watching Jordan and I knew as a 10 year old watching Jordan in his first finals vs Lakers I was witnessing something special. I got a topic relating to this but not Lebron hoping you could talk about- early 60s was highest scoring era in nba that was done without a 3 point line and by a bunch of plumbers so how did they score so much… it was high pace (over 20 more attempts per game average than today) and low volume of passing. These college coaches that want 12+ passes a possession have brainwashed everyone into thinking that’s fundamental team basketball and it’s not. If you could deep dive in to those stats from early 60s NBA I would be grateful.
Positionless basketball is pointless basketball this ignores the whole emphasis of the most important stat is the rebound, kids call it evolved nba when in reality it’s DILUTION or devolution it went backwards and now no defense i mean it’s pathetic
So true, players used to have more defined roles on teams, the PG specialized in getting the assists, the SG focused on scoring, the SF focused on defense and scoring the corner 3, PF and C focused on the rebounds and blocks but now players like Lebron ball hogs the ball and takes away everyone's stats which makes the rest of the team suffer as they have to sacrifice for him.
I went to a suns vs 76ers game last night and it was shockingly bad. The worst basketball ive ever seen on all levels. Zero defense, no effort, it looked like the players didnt even care and weren't even competing. It was depressing.
you dont get the other team in foul trouble shooting 3s. you dont get offensive rebounds shooting 3s. theres no physical competition shooting 3s. they should be used as a tactical weapon, not the majority of the game. its unwatchable
If you have a Steph and Klay in their prime, shoot as many 3s as you want but everybody else isnt them so why copy tht style league wide?? Makes no sense and thts why NFL is more popular because every team doesn't play the same way due to QBs having different skillsets, defensive personnel etc and it makes for better games visually
The warriòrs didnt ruin the game. The copycats did. All the teams that copied this style thinking it was the end all be all even though gs is the only tream thats ever won playing this way ruined the game. If you look at all the other recent champs they all had size and an interior presence.
It's hilarious seeing teams trying copycat GS with small ball and trying to create their own death lineup but they forget they don't have defensive players like green, bogut or iggy which is what made them work, then getting KD extended their success.
The Spurs beat the Suns back ‘05 by literally beating the crap out of Steve Nash. They held his shirt away from the ball, they hip-checked him, just beat on him mercilessly. He was a bruised and bloody mess by the end of the series. He was guarded by Bruce Bowen, who is on the NBA’s all-time dirty players list. They knew that “as goes Nash, so go the Suns”. Also, Amar’e Stoudamire and Boris Diaw were suspended for game 5. I’m not a Suns fan but I was thoroughly disgusted by the Spurs’ play in that series and the horrible officiating. They failed to protect Nash in any way. Most MVP caliber players get some help from the refs but not him for whatever reason.
Nash was a tough dude and not the type to do a lot of whining.. I'm amazed you left the disgusting Robert Horry "check" on Nash off your list above. One of the most despicable things I've seen.
The 2018 Rockets were absolutely ridiculous when it comes to shooting 3s. Secret Base has a very informative video on their 3 point shooting that season. D'antoni coached that team. The Rockets shot way more 3s than the Warriors. 2015-16 Warriors shot 31 threes per game and so did the 2016-17 Warriors. The 2018 Rockets shot 42 threes per game. The Warriors shot 7 and 4 more 3s per game than the average those 2 seasons while the Rockets shot 10 more than the league average. Imo the Rockets were way more responsible for the 3 pt barrage than the Warriors. Both teams are responsible for it but the Rockets were more aggressive.
"Most of today's players look scared to death of the mid-range." lmao, i haven't looked at the stats, but anecdotally Lebron is horrendous in the 4-6 feet or so in front of the 3 point line. I'm not sure I've seen him make one in years. He'll hit some of his 3-pointers while many are bricks, but just inside? Hail mary! His shot charts will show too that he's terrified of shooting here. Most of his shots of course are within 5 feet, probably a third are 3-pointers, but it's rare to see him even attempt a mid-ranger.
Steph didn't ruin the game. It was already trending that way before him. He took it to another level, but then everyone tried to copy him and the warriors without realizing that they dont just spam threes and the rest of the NBA doesn't have Klay and Steph. Now everyone tries to play like them and its boring.
This is why it kills me when they say mj would struggle because of the 3. Mj doesn't have to shoot the 3 unless there is a rule that says you must shoot 10 3s a game to play in the nba
When they first introduced the three point rule I'm sure everyone thought the purpose was to make the game more exciting. Team down by a handful with the clock ticking still has a chance to catch up. Last shot of the game and down by three. Now it's the preferred shot and is as common as dirt. Look at Caitlyn Clark's highlights. Almost all are three pointers. BORING! They should change the rules to limit this shot. Maybe only allow it in the fourth quarter or with five minutes left in the game. Or give each player a five shot limit which like the foul rule would force them to pace themselves to save it for the end when they really need the extra points. A threeper for the last shot is much more exciting than for the first shot.
The Rockets in the early and mid 90s shot a lot of 3s- especially for that time era… that’s one reason why they had success against the Bulls during that time period. Olajuwon would get doubled, then Vernon Maxwell, Kenny Smith, Sam Cassell, Matt Bullard and Pete Chilcutt would light them up with 3s. I’m a Rockets fan and remember those days vividly 😂
@@tdup191 RIGHT! I believe that’s the only team time MJ would’ve been pushed to a game 7…. They were just a bad matchup for the Bulls. Like the Sonics were a terrible matchup for the Rockets
@@AngryOldHoops I feel you, i been doing podcasts for years but when you finally get those special content creators on the same show its worth it. The youtube streets need to see y'all together! Me and my cohost been speaking the truth on LeFalseProphet for years so it feels so good to see you breakthrough!
Simple fix for too many three's is create a penalty three point line that is quite further back, and cuts out the corners. You can only shoot so many three's per half and then the penalty 3pt line takes effect for the rest of the half. 3 pointers will have to be more strategic and less about just chucking them up. Basically 3 pointers have become the infield shift of baseball and baseball fixed that last year by limiting 2 players to each side. Infield shift and shooting many threes were game changers, but in both aspect have taken away the integrity of the game and made things quite boring. Baseball had more hits and exciting plays last year. So perhaps NBA also implementing emphasis on defense with the penalty 3 line you will see the rise in contested mid range shots again.
The reason why there were specialist was because there was hand checking back then and it was very hard for anybody to make shots if you could check with people by their hands just look at the reason why there were specialist was because there was hand checking back then.
3 pt shots is a thig of personal taste, no what RUINED the game, was allowing Lebull in China shop 10 steps, double dribbles and shoving defenders away with off hand.. (breaking rules constantly) and flopping.. Too many 3's and I get bored... but the RULE BREAKING literally makes me cringe and has led to a league full of guys who have terrible footwork and look like amateurs who dont even know the basic dribbling rules.
This is the age of the uncontested 3. If you leave me standing on the wing wide open, I could probably hit 35%, which is the league average. Unfortunately, watching 3 pointers clank off the rim by both teams, it has made today's game unwatchable. There's not enough motion and post moves are nearly gone. It's straight up boring. Give me Shaq v Ewing, Worthy v McHale, Rodman v Malone. Magic driving the lane to free up Kareem for an easy bucket. Etc, etc, etc . . .
The solution is really f'ing simple. We have so much shot data now to know that the 3-pt line is too close. The line needs to be placed where the additional risk of missing the shot is equal to or greater than the additional reward you get for hitting the shot. So the leaguewide average percentage of making a 2 pt shot should be at least 50% greater than the leaguewide average of making a 3 pt shot. So if the leaguewide average of a 2 pt shot was 51%, the 3 pt line should be placed where the leaguewide average of 3-pt shots is no more than 34%, just as example numbers. I think based off of data that I have seen, that distance is somewhere between 28-30 feet. If the NBA really cared about improving the on-court product, they would have done this years ago instead of developing nonsense like the in-season tournament that not many understood and even fewer cared about.
I don't know about that. Teams barely even crossing midc ourt and chucking up threes will be entertaining? Logo threes become standard? Where will any ball movement fit in?
@@AngryOldHoops Well the idea is that 3 point shots will be disincentivized to be reserved for only the truly elite shooters or in desperate situations where you need to make up a big deficit. Otherwise, the smart play is to try and find a quality 2-pt shot as teams will have more points per possession focusing on 2-pt shots instead of 3-pt shots, kind of like how it was back in the 80s. I mean what would a coach do if you passed up a 15 foot shot to swing it out for a low percentage 30 foot shot? The other alternative is to just get rid of the 3-pt shot entirely.
Why don't we make things simple and objectively mention how lebron cheats the game 1. Off arm shove to the basket which is an offensive foul 2. Carry and wayyyy worse than guards who do it 3. Gets away with consistent traveling 4. Never gets called for a foul despite playing dirty 5. Gets phantom foul calls when he is driving aimlessly and with zero foot work in the lane, need I say more
One time i cheated in monopoly and i felt awful and like an idiot. Never cheated at a game ever agian because i dont want to be seen as a weak person 😂
On a side note, did you catch the 8:01 mark of the first quarter of the Bucks-Celtics game? Celtics make a 3pt ahot to go ip 15-10. Bucks call a timeout. After the timeouts, the refs gave the ball under the basket to the Celtics.
Before the camera cut back to the game Jae Crowder threw the inbound pass out of bounds. The coverage came back to the game after that turnover happened making it look like the Celtics were getting the ball out of the timeout.
The basketball time machine channel used your version of that clip of lebron flopping then flexing on a video about why he’s not the GOAT. It was nice to see.
Bring back centers who can shoot 80% or better free throws.. Park them under the basket for high% shots since nobody bothers to guard the lane anymore, and score at will.Let em get fouled. get 3 the old way.. Let Curry bomb away from 3 cause I guarantee most games he isnt going to shoot 70% from that range.. Think modern day Wilt with Larry Bird accuracy from the line. It'll stop this barrage of dumbass 3's really fucking quick, and bring back defenders who can actually defend the post/rim. The 3pt'er is the ugliest shot in the world when it misses, and it misses a LOT. NBA ruined itself with this..The 3pt shot was never needed in the first place..The 3 isnt creative.. At all. If these guys say they're better, then see some fucking creativity.. I havent seen ANY
While I'm not a fan of some of the rule changes(hand checking, Euro step/gather step, or zone), the lack of consistency is really detrimental. Obviously the refs will miss some foul calls occasionally, which isn't new. The lack of physicality also doesn't help. However, the flopping which consistently happens now is so ridiculous and cringe that it really does make the game unwatchable. Much like grown men cheating in sports is sad, flopping is pathetic and a very poor character trait.
Everyone has a time to make a podcast, everyone has several hours each day to spend however they want. That doesn't mean they are taking time off from working or practicing, it means they choose to spend their free time during which they wouldnt work anyway, on doing podcasts. Jokic is the best player in the world, he is disciploned and consistent and yet he has plenty of free time which he chooses to spend on his family. Being disciplined does not mean working 24/7.
Anyone can have a long career now more than ever (provided they avoid injuries). Players with privileges do not play every night if they don’t feel like it and on top of that, the game stops every 20 seconds (sometimes for countless minutes) due to some bs foul, a challenge, a ref review and what not. I think longevity is slowly going to become overrated in this era
You need to make more content. Im struggling watching dreamerspro because everything is blown up to the point that you'd swear he has new damning evidence every 2 hours. He says all lebron fans are twerking it up, but he's right there on the other side of the fence twerking right back at them
Bc they have freedom of movement that's how the nerds who have the never played the game ruined it. Steff would be Dell if you could knock him down when he gets hot.
Good question. I moved here after Run TMC. First game I went to Karl Malone dropped 56. I got close to people getting autographs and remember seeing Eric Dampier's hand wrap around the ball. The We Believe time was most nostalgic for me. Could get cheap seats by Photoshopping fake tickets back then! Remember seeing Baron Davis's dunk on AK47 as it happened in a bar in the Haight. Fun days.
I attended jr college with Shawn.. he was a cocky ball player and presence on the campus of Vincennes University... And I'd STILL prefer a podcast with him, vs. leFlop.. 😂
It´s not really the 3pt shot that ruined the game, it´s all the rules that make that shot be so easy to take. Let´s not go to Mikes 7sec offense, but say a team uses 10sec on the clock, shoots 100 3s and hits 40% of those = 120pts. To catch up to that with 2pts you need to shoot 60% of the same amount of shots, all things being equal. You remove the Freedom of movement, without even adding back normal old skool defense and that 10sec clock now is 12-13...which makes those 120pts drop to 100. And then add more physical D, hand in face, contested 3s...
LeBrons' way of being more than an athlete is being a podcaster? I thought LeBron wanted equity, fight for injustices, and actually makes changes in people's lives. How about focusing on being an athlete, like play basketball when you're supposed to and not sit out because of soreness.
that song at the beginning is so darn catchy.

I think I’d be ok with much of the game today if they actually played within the actual rules and the refs called the game based on those rules. I get there will be missed calls here and there but ignoring violations completely changes the game entirely.
Shit like this is why ppl "hate" on Bron. He takes every chance he gets to big himself up and will at same time say he's not ok with accepting praise. Dude is psychotic and his fanboys call it IQ 🤦🏽♂️
LMAOOOO
amen
Lebron got all that money.... But all that money, is not enough to buy LOVE...
Everybody can shoot 3s now, so what? That doesn't make them more skilled. The flipside is, nobody can post-up and play back to the basket anymore (besides maybe Embiid and Jokic). Who's dancing around defenders like Hakeem in today's NBA? Who has the footwork of a David Robinson, Patrick Ewing or Karl Malone? Skillsets changed rather than improved.
All facts
Exactly. And without those 7ft monsters clogging the paint it changes the game completely. Almost nothing came easy on the inside before. Makes it that much easier to get up on your assignment on the perimeter knowing you got a Mutumbo or a Shaq backing you up if anything gets by
The 1980s: 29%
1990s: 35%
2000s: 35%
2010s: 35%
2020s: 36%
Those are the 3 pt shooting % from each decade. Today's players aren't shooting 3s at a better % they're simply taking more 3s.
Even today who has the athleticism of wilt or bill Russel at there size. Russel jumping over defenders for rebounds and being player coach which LeBron should be and wilt well we all know wilt
@@roboninja319436% from three-point line in an era where nobody plays perimeter defense is rather embarrassing if you ask me.
This new 3 point era didnt ruin the game. The absolute disdain for defending those 3s did.
You know when we'll start seeing less ridiculous 3 pointers? When they are defended. Shocking righr?
Maybe that'll evolve the game into easier and more open mid range shots and lay ups. The price of an attempted 3 will go up and a new balance will naturally occur.
The current balance is: we all agree we dont really wanna make an effort, so let's have an all star game every single game.
I’m so happy guys like you keep your foot on LeBalco neck. Otherwise the lemedia will continue to ruin the sport we all fell in love with!! Great work AOH.
yeah the only thing I have to say about this is there would have been only one other person that would have performed on Curry's lvl with being an absurd 3point shooter and that was West because he routinely hit shots from the same distance as Curry does but unfortunately he didn't have the benefit of having a 3pt line... so sure Steph changed the game because he's the 2nd plyer all time to be able to stretch the floor the way he can
Pistol actually long 3s also. It just didn't count.
That’s why STATS are SO MISLEADING NOWADAYS..if you shootings a TON of 3 pointers of course u can have 30 or 40 points..It’s the EASIEST way to score EVER..they’re SO TALENTED 😩😩
Lebum revolutionialized braking the rules of the game without consequence.
James used the game to get what he wanted. He has no concern or love for the game at all. Hence his juicing to keep himself in shape just enough to continue his stat padding. And every time he mean mugs for the cameras, it just shows you how completely delusional this dude is.
Bingo
He loves himself only not the game
@@AngryOldHoops agreed.
For most legends, it wasn’t about the name on the back of the jersey. It was about the ONE on the front.
As long as the jersey says JAMES, LeBron will not give a fuck and continue to stat pad.
@@J23LA24 Yup. And we followed our TEAMS, not players. And that is a big part of the reason why there were rivalries, and actual competition.
I grew up in Chicago, and those Knicks, Pistons, Cavs, Pacers rivalries were LEGIT. And produced some of the best basketball ever played.
Damn, the League has gone Charmin soft.
Well LeBron truly screwed up the NBA… Made it okay to join super teams, made it okay to flop to try to win games, made it okay to scream at refs, made it okay to use the social media platform to punish teammates and other rants, etc;…. I mean, someone else may be able to say this better than me but LeBron really screwed up a lot of things…
And most importantly lebron screwd up the NBA by making it okay to pad stats like assists points and rebounds when theirs 4 other players on the court who have to sacrifice their roles for Lebron.
Nothing but respect on the channel bro, its needed by us 80z baby NBA fans,,,salute mate,,, NEW ZEALAND IN THE HOUSE
This whole 3 point shooting tactical crap is such a misnomer; it's a fabricated narrative created the league solely to make the game look prettier in an attempt to draw more casuals as core bball fans check out, except ratings continue to plummet. There's a reason 3 point run& gunn never worked all them Dantoni years until the league started changing the rules to remove defense. The bottom line is if you're playing against a team that plays solid defense, boxes out and limits you to 1 or maximum 2 shots a possession and knows how to capitalize on long misses by turning long misses into fastbreak points... you will lose every time.
Defense is what wins chips. Period. It's just that reckless 3 pointers is now replacing defense cause the league front office has removed defense and the players are now accustomed to not playing defense.
EDIT: and the difference between 2s and 3s is most 2s won't result in long misses that turn into fastbreaks for the other team. Maybe a few of the long 2s that miss. But most 3s that miss would certainly mean fastbreak the other way if the opponent is getting to that loose ball.
The Bibby-Webber-Divac Kings legit had 5 players on the court who could nail the 3. I and others felt like they should have just started jacking up 30 3s a game but Adelman didn't capitalize on what we had in that regard.
The entire team could shoot!!!
Bobby
Stro
Jackson
Webber
Cristie
Divac
Barry
Hedo
Etc
That's why I like Demar Derozan's style of play. His mid range is great
demar derozan's problem was never his inability to take 3s reliably in his prime. It was his subpar defense, and non-existing playmaking because casey cant draw up a play and runs lebron ball with derozan and lowry, without the refs on his side. He could have been so much better, his game was beautiful
@@niqbaaaa I never claimed he was the perfect player.
@@SAINT_PATRICK yea I know, I’m just saying if all these other things went his way, say if he was in San Antonio before his decline. He would have been a real beast. Unfortunate
The early 2000’s suns were the first real iteration of pace WHILE prioritizing 3’s as a team. Even those 90’s rockets and mid 2000’s Magic who used threes, it still revolved around a dominant big man. And really was implemented to give the big more space down low. Now everybody just runs around and throws up 25 ft bombs. Boringgggggg 🥱
Right. Half court launching
This is going to backfire. The illiteracy is GOLD! Leilliteracy with a Duke graduate. You can see it in Reddicks face but a paycheck is a paycheck
Paycheck is a paycheck
What’s funny is this dude wears #23 ..Real clown that dude is ..
And the chalk at the scorers table came from MJ…he just didn’t showboat and throw it in the air to garner attention like Bron.
Dudes a 🤡
I remember in the early 2000s all the old NBA guys complaining that no one in the league could shoot anymore. Then the 3pt revolution comes along and almost everyone can shoot and now they complain all the 3pt shooting is ruining the game.
I want to see the corner 3pt shot eliminated. Carry the arc right to the sideline.
And I want to see defensive 3 seconds removed from the game.
In 90s almost every team had their own style of play and stars played majority of the games so the matchups were more competitive. Problem is 2000s couldn't match the star power of 90s and ratings dropped so league over corrected with changing the rules instead of just waiting for the talent to get better like it did in 10s. Had league not made any changes I think they'd be alot more popular and there would be less complaints. Thts imo anyway
This intro is hilarious lmao you make me laugh brotha lol
AOH is hilarious, not stand up comedian funny but your dad who is sarcastic funny.
I dont feel like the issue is the 3pt shot, its the 30ft+ shot. That is so common.
ha! true though
Love this channel. It was a privilege growing up watching Jordan and I knew as a 10 year old watching Jordan in his first finals vs Lakers I was witnessing something special.
I got a topic relating to this but not Lebron hoping you could talk about- early 60s was highest scoring era in nba that was done without a 3 point line and by a bunch of plumbers so how did they score so much… it was high pace (over 20 more attempts per game average than today) and low volume of passing.
These college coaches that want 12+ passes a possession have brainwashed everyone into thinking that’s fundamental team basketball and it’s not.
If you could deep dive in to those stats from early 60s NBA I would be grateful.
This channel the tits🔥💯
The early 60s was high scoring because those plumbers couldn’t do anything against Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell’s Celtics
LeBron and JJ are tryna copy Kobe’s Detail series.
Leilliteracy can't, no way no how!
Positionless basketball is pointless basketball this ignores the whole emphasis of the most important stat is the rebound, kids call it evolved nba when in reality it’s DILUTION or devolution it went backwards and now no defense i mean it’s pathetic
So true, players used to have more defined roles on teams, the PG specialized in getting the assists, the SG focused on scoring, the SF focused on defense and scoring the corner 3, PF and C focused on the rebounds and blocks but now players like Lebron ball hogs the ball and takes away everyone's stats which makes the rest of the team suffer as they have to sacrifice for him.
I went to a suns vs 76ers game last night and it was shockingly bad. The worst basketball ive ever seen on all levels. Zero defense, no effort, it looked like the players didnt even care and weren't even competing. It was depressing.
Yep…don’t know how to explain it but I do know what you mean. Sad.
I think too many 3 point shots is ruining the game. I think the NBA should put a rule where only 6 three Pointers are allowed in each game.
Or only in the last minute ot two of each quarter
Or only 1 three pointer for each quarter
you dont get the other team in foul trouble shooting 3s. you dont get offensive rebounds shooting 3s. theres no physical competition shooting 3s. they should be used as a tactical weapon, not the majority of the game. its unwatchable
If you have a Steph and Klay in their prime, shoot as many 3s as you want but everybody else isnt them so why copy tht style league wide?? Makes no sense and thts why NFL is more popular because every team doesn't play the same way due to QBs having different skillsets, defensive personnel etc and it makes for better games visually
The warriòrs didnt ruin the game. The copycats did. All the teams that copied this style thinking it was the end all be all even though gs is the only tream thats ever won playing this way ruined the game. If you look at all the other recent champs they all had size and an interior presence.
It's hilarious seeing teams trying copycat GS with small ball and trying to create their own death lineup but they forget they don't have defensive players like green, bogut or iggy which is what made them work, then getting KD extended their success.
The Spurs beat the Suns back ‘05 by literally beating the crap out of Steve Nash. They held his shirt away from the ball, they hip-checked him, just beat on him mercilessly. He was a bruised and bloody mess by the end of the series. He was guarded by Bruce Bowen, who is on the NBA’s all-time dirty players list. They knew that “as goes Nash, so go the Suns”.
Also, Amar’e Stoudamire and Boris Diaw were suspended for game 5.
I’m not a Suns fan but I was thoroughly disgusted by the Spurs’ play in that series and the horrible officiating. They failed to protect Nash in any way. Most MVP caliber players get some help from the refs but not him for whatever reason.
Nash was a tough dude and not the type to do a lot of whining.. I'm amazed you left the disgusting Robert Horry "check" on Nash off your list above. One of the most despicable things I've seen.
The 2018 Rockets were absolutely ridiculous when it comes to shooting 3s. Secret Base has a very informative video on their 3 point shooting that season. D'antoni coached that team. The Rockets shot way more 3s than the Warriors. 2015-16 Warriors shot 31 threes per game and so did the 2016-17 Warriors. The 2018 Rockets shot 42 threes per game. The Warriors shot 7 and 4 more 3s per game than the average those 2 seasons while the Rockets shot 10 more than the league average. Imo the Rockets were way more responsible for the 3 pt barrage than the Warriors. Both teams are responsible for it but the Rockets were more aggressive.
U hip to TicketTV now? I love y’all different but effective styles
I wished I would've traveled more in high school. In my mind I was playing with 80s rules. 2014 grad here.
People act like LEFLOP’S a good 3 pt shooter..HE’S HORRIBLE for his CAREER this 21ST yr is his BEST 3pt shooting BY FAR😩
"Most of today's players look scared to death of the mid-range." lmao, i haven't looked at the stats, but anecdotally Lebron is horrendous in the 4-6 feet or so in front of the 3 point line. I'm not sure I've seen him make one in years. He'll hit some of his 3-pointers while many are bricks, but just inside? Hail mary! His shot charts will show too that he's terrified of shooting here. Most of his shots of course are within 5 feet, probably a third are 3-pointers, but it's rare to see him even attempt a mid-ranger.
I couldn’t listen to Lebron talk either. Much respect to this platform!!
Steph didn't ruin the game. It was already trending that way before him. He took it to another level, but then everyone tried to copy him and the warriors without realizing that they dont just spam threes and the rest of the NBA doesn't have Klay and Steph. Now everyone tries to play like them and its boring.
This is why it kills me when they say mj would struggle because of the 3. Mj doesn't have to shoot the 3 unless there is a rule that says you must shoot 10 3s a game to play in the nba
Who is this era would be able to stop him driving to the basket?
Where else would you show up? Your job?
I died 🤣🤣🤣
Shows up three hours early and his team still loses. Despite the fact that he is on ped’s.
When they first introduced the three point rule I'm sure everyone thought the purpose was to make the game more exciting. Team down by a handful with the clock ticking still has a chance to catch up. Last shot of the game and down by three. Now it's the preferred shot and is as common as dirt. Look at Caitlyn Clark's highlights. Almost all are three pointers. BORING!
They should change the rules to limit this shot. Maybe only allow it in the fourth quarter or with five minutes left in the game. Or give each player a five shot limit which like the foul rule would force them to pace themselves to save it for the end when they really need the extra points. A threeper for the last shot is much more exciting than for the first shot.
Agreed
The Rockets in the early and mid 90s shot a lot of 3s- especially for that time era… that’s one reason why they had success against the Bulls during that time period. Olajuwon would get doubled, then Vernon Maxwell, Kenny Smith, Sam Cassell, Matt Bullard and Pete Chilcutt would light them up with 3s. I’m a Rockets fan and remember those days vividly 😂
Too bad we never got a Rockets vs Bulls Finals just like we never got Bron vs Kobe. Would have helped settle alot of debates one way or another
@@tdup191 RIGHT! I believe that’s the only team time MJ would’ve been pushed to a game 7…. They were just a bad matchup for the Bulls. Like the Sonics were a terrible matchup for the Rockets
Shaq's Magic shot a lot of 3s as well.
@@jansmitowiczauthor78 yep! Dennis Scott was lethal
@@iAmEdwinHamilton the bad part is we'll never know. Rockets could have gotten swept by Bulls or won in 5 or 6 themselves 🤷🏽♂️

Angry we need a super podcast with you, uncommon, sports rants, dreamers pro and skap. And i want to be the moderator! 😅😂
I've tried. It's hard to get people together
@@AngryOldHoops I feel you, i been doing podcasts for years but when you finally get those special content creators on the same show its worth it. The youtube streets need to see y'all together! Me and my cohost been speaking the truth on LeFalseProphet for years so it feels so good to see you breakthrough!
What would a "super podcast" with Nick Wright, Shannon Sharpe, Perkins, Draymond and Cowherd sound and look like?
@@magnusm.6513 Gagging sounds. Pause
Simple fix for too many three's is create a penalty three point line that is quite further back, and cuts out the corners. You can only shoot so many three's per half and then the penalty 3pt line takes effect for the rest of the half. 3 pointers will have to be more strategic and less about just chucking them up. Basically 3 pointers have become the infield shift of baseball and baseball fixed that last year by limiting 2 players to each side. Infield shift and shooting many threes were game changers, but in both aspect have taken away the integrity of the game and made things quite boring. Baseball had more hits and exciting plays last year. So perhaps NBA also implementing emphasis on defense with the penalty 3 line you will see the rise in contested mid range shots again.
When there's no defense and no dominating big man under the rim, why wouldn't you just chuck up lower percentage shots?
Good stuff AOH LIKE ALWAYS BRO!
The warriors are trying to ruin basketball with this small ball bs😂
The reason why there were specialist was because there was hand checking back then and it was very hard for anybody to make shots if you could check with people by their hands just look at the reason why there were specialist was because there was hand checking back then.
Nba should remove the 3 point line so position ball may come back
Good day when there's a new Hoops Fan video.
3 pt shots is a thig of personal taste,
no what RUINED the game, was allowing Lebull in China shop 10 steps, double dribbles and shoving defenders away with off hand.. (breaking rules constantly) and flopping..
Too many 3's and I get bored... but the RULE BREAKING literally makes me cringe and has led to a league full of guys who have terrible footwork and look like amateurs who dont even know the basic dribbling rules.
This is the age of the uncontested 3. If you leave me standing on the wing wide open, I could probably hit 35%, which is the league average. Unfortunately, watching 3 pointers clank off the rim by both teams, it has made today's game unwatchable. There's not enough motion and post moves are nearly gone. It's straight up boring. Give me Shaq v Ewing, Worthy v McHale, Rodman v Malone. Magic driving the lane to free up Kareem for an easy bucket. Etc, etc, etc . . .
We need you now more than ever.
JJ Rethoric wanna be a coach so bad. Lecap was in rare form on that dry ass podcast.
The solution is really f'ing simple. We have so much shot data now to know that the 3-pt line is too close. The line needs to be placed where the additional risk of missing the shot is equal to or greater than the additional reward you get for hitting the shot. So the leaguewide average percentage of making a 2 pt shot should be at least 50% greater than the leaguewide average of making a 3 pt shot. So if the leaguewide average of a 2 pt shot was 51%, the 3 pt line should be placed where the leaguewide average of 3-pt shots is no more than 34%, just as example numbers. I think based off of data that I have seen, that distance is somewhere between 28-30 feet. If the NBA really cared about improving the on-court product, they would have done this years ago instead of developing nonsense like the in-season tournament that not many understood and even fewer cared about.
I don't know about that. Teams barely even crossing midc ourt and chucking up threes will be entertaining? Logo threes become standard? Where will any ball movement fit in?
@@AngryOldHoops Well the idea is that 3 point shots will be disincentivized to be reserved for only the truly elite shooters or in desperate situations where you need to make up a big deficit. Otherwise, the smart play is to try and find a quality 2-pt shot as teams will have more points per possession focusing on 2-pt shots instead of 3-pt shots, kind of like how it was back in the 80s. I mean what would a coach do if you passed up a 15 foot shot to swing it out for a low percentage 30 foot shot? The other alternative is to just get rid of the 3-pt shot entirely.
Very well done, as I anticipated it would be. Thanks
When they had to make a rule about flopping. That says where the NBA is nowadays. What a joke!
Why don't we make things simple and objectively mention how lebron cheats the game
1. Off arm shove to the basket which is an offensive foul
2. Carry and wayyyy worse than guards who do it
3. Gets away with consistent traveling
4. Never gets called for a foul despite playing dirty
5. Gets phantom foul calls when he is driving aimlessly and with zero foot work in the lane, need I say more
Waiting for this critique 😂 on lebrons podcast who is taking his talents to podcasting 😂
I think they should cap the number of 3's they can take per game or per quarter. if so then some strategy would come into the game
I was hoping it would be a discussion on books they've read
You guys remember Steve Novak? I feel like he also contributed a lot to the 3 point revolution
I would like to see the NBA remove the 3-point line entirely for at least 1 year.
One time i cheated in monopoly and i felt awful and like an idiot. Never cheated at a game ever agian because i dont want to be seen as a weak person 😂
On a side note, did you catch the 8:01 mark of the first quarter of the Bucks-Celtics game? Celtics make a 3pt ahot to go ip 15-10. Bucks call a timeout. After the timeouts, the refs gave the ball under the basket to the Celtics.
🤯
Before the camera cut back to the game Jae Crowder threw the inbound pass out of bounds. The coverage came back to the game after that turnover happened making it look like the Celtics were getting the ball out of the timeout.
LeBron the poster child for everything wrong with the nba
I'm right there with you man... no way I could sit back and listen to that bron/Reddick podcast. Not even gonna attempt it
“This interview made me the GOAT”
The basketball time machine channel used your version of that clip of lebron flopping then flexing on a video about why he’s not the GOAT. It was nice to see.
Bring back centers who can shoot 80% or better free throws.. Park them under the basket for high% shots since nobody bothers to guard the lane anymore, and score at will.Let em get fouled. get 3 the old way.. Let Curry bomb away from 3 cause I guarantee most games he isnt going to shoot 70% from that range.. Think modern day Wilt with Larry Bird accuracy from the line. It'll stop this barrage of dumbass 3's really fucking quick, and bring back defenders who can actually defend the post/rim.
The 3pt'er is the ugliest shot in the world when it misses, and it misses a LOT.
NBA ruined itself with this..The 3pt shot was never needed in the first place..The 3 isnt creative.. At all. If these guys say they're better, then see some fucking creativity.. I havent seen ANY
Steve nash was a good traditional point guard
Weird how Morey is never mentioned on this topic anymore LOL
If Horry didn't hip check Nash, Suns win that series. They couldn't stop the bleeding, so Nash couldn't shoot the FT's.
While I'm not a fan of some of the rule changes(hand checking, Euro step/gather step, or zone), the lack of consistency is really detrimental. Obviously the refs will miss some foul calls occasionally, which isn't new. The lack of physicality also doesn't help. However, the flopping which consistently happens now is so ridiculous and cringe that it really does make the game unwatchable. Much like grown men cheating in sports is sad, flopping is pathetic and a very poor character trait.
Everyone has a time to make a podcast, everyone has several hours each day to spend however they want. That doesn't mean they are taking time off from working or practicing, it means they choose to spend their free time during which they wouldnt work anyway, on doing podcasts. Jokic is the best player in the world, he is disciploned and consistent and yet he has plenty of free time which he chooses to spend on his family. Being disciplined does not mean working 24/7.
The Spurs is the first team to win championships with four three point shooters and Tim Duncan
If he truly knew the history of the game , he would respect those before him .
You gotta watch it. More content for you!!
Thank god we still have people with respect for a level playing field, and the spirit of competing.
dont forget you can do the Lebron travel 6 to 8 steps.
Man everybody and their mother is starting podcasts these days lol
We done with LeFraud era!!
Anyone can have a long career now more than ever (provided they avoid injuries). Players with privileges do not play every night if they don’t feel like it and on top of that, the game stops every 20 seconds (sometimes for countless minutes) due to some bs foul, a challenge, a ref review and what not. I think longevity is slowly going to become overrated in this era
I love your videos I did want to say though that I think you kind of look a little bit like Howard Stern.
You need to make more content. Im struggling watching dreamerspro because everything is blown up to the point that you'd swear he has new damning evidence every 2 hours. He says all lebron fans are twerking it up, but he's right there on the other side of the fence twerking right back at them
Change field goals to 3 points and current 3 pointer to 4 points.
Um. No. That would unfairly obliterate previous records and ppg totals etc.
He's doing a podcast during the season?
Bc they have freedom of movement that's how the nerds who have the never played the game ruined it. Steff would be Dell if you could knock him down when he gets hot.
AOH do you have a favorite Warrior in the pre Steph Curry era?
Good question. I moved here after Run TMC. First game I went to Karl Malone dropped 56. I got close to people getting autographs and remember seeing Eric Dampier's hand wrap around the ball. The We Believe time was most nostalgic for me. Could get cheap seats by Photoshopping fake tickets back then! Remember seeing Baron Davis's dunk on AK47 as it happened in a bar in the Haight. Fun days.
Monta Ellis probably lol
Great video AOH 💪🏾
I liked it. I don't anymore.
And they were robbed!
I don’t agree with this to hand D’Antoni Curry’s legacy. You don’t change the league with failure.
But if you apply tht same logic to Bron you're called a hater 😂
Get em AOHF
I attended jr college with Shawn.. he was a cocky ball player and presence on the campus of Vincennes University... And I'd STILL prefer a podcast with him, vs. leFlop.. 😂
It´s not really the 3pt shot that ruined the game, it´s all the rules that make that shot be so easy to take.
Let´s not go to Mikes 7sec offense, but say a team uses 10sec on the clock, shoots 100 3s and hits 40% of those = 120pts. To catch up to that with 2pts you need to shoot 60% of the same amount of shots, all things being equal.
You remove the Freedom of movement, without even adding back normal old skool defense and that 10sec clock now is 12-13...which makes those 120pts drop to 100. And then add more physical D, hand in face, contested 3s...
LeBrons' way of being more than an athlete is being a podcaster? I thought LeBron wanted equity, fight for injustices, and actually makes changes in people's lives. How about focusing on being an athlete, like play basketball when you're supposed to and not sit out because of soreness.
