Last Sunday James Harden dropped a three-guide that became a milestone who continues to prove that the NBA is changing forever. His shot was made the 30,000th shot from outside this season, which is now the fourth consecutive year that this happens.
This figure was not reached before 2021, but now shooting out of the reach seems to be the strategy of each team. Take a look at the ruling NBA champion in Boston, who almost near the breaking of single-season records for most three of them tried by every club in history.
The Celtics, who still have eight games for the play -offs, have already made 1,323 this season and are only 40 away from breaking the records of Golden State two years ago. So far, 3,574 has also tried and have now been 147 away from breaking the Mark van Houston in 2019.
Although Adam Silver has already tackled this issue in recent months, he continued this week when he appeared on Colin Cowherd The herd This year and made it clear that the competition is considering fundamental changes to keep things under control.
“What do we do to change it?” He started. “I agree that you are starting to see very similar violations around the competition. Teams have brands, teams have identities, Joe Dumars is now a colleague at the League Office, The Bad Boys, etc … The Showtime Lakers. So I recognize that to the extent that offenses are very to look like, we lose that.”
The NBA commissioner is convinced that these so-called ‘revolutions’ would undoubtedly happen, because the modern basketball player is more versatile than before. “At the same time, the competition goes through a transformation,” Silver said. ‘Just as you said, players like Victor Wembanyama, players like [Nikola] Jokic, do things that big men have never done historically. ‘
“So I think we just have to be careful,” he acknowledged. “The only thing we don’t want to do is, I don’t just want to move the 3-point line. We are now going through a kind of process, see how these players adapt to the new rules and find out what changes we should make. To be honest, I wish it was as simple as just the 3-point line, because then we would just do it.”
