I agree, though I'm probably one of few. If I could change one rule in baskeball it would be to do away with the three.

You are my two favorite posters!

If analytics are so important to sports, then the sport should look a the analytics and say that the 3 pt shot has become too prevalent and is worth too much more than a two point shot.

In the NBA, the first 3 years of the the 3 pointer the average made was 26% with <2.5 3PA/gm. The last three years, it was about 36% made with ~30 3PA/gm.

I'm not against the 3 point shot, but they need to adjust it (further back, or none from the side) to make it the expected outcome closer to a two point shot.

p.s. FT% is the same as it was 40 years ago.
