it doesn't leave you one dimensional. Playing this way allows cuts to the basket, drives to the basket,etc. It creates space on the offensive end.
Heck you can even post up with a guy like Youngblood when he has an advantage.
Playing with a true big man that can only post up clogs the lane. it slows the ball down. there is a reason why the NBA didn't want Edey after his national player of the year last year. He is one dimensional.
Basketball has changed with the 3 point shot. Look at the stats. Teams shoot more and more of them since the advent of the shot. Attempts have steadily increased over time.
Analytics shows that it gives you a better chance to win. The NBA wants 3 and D guys. They want big men that can shoot the three. we will never go back to the 90's.
Reggie Miller led the league in made 3's with 1,500 of them during the 90's. That was 300 more than anyone else in the league.
Curry made 2,500 of them in the 2010's.
Glen Rice was #2 for made 3's in the 90's. He would rank #15 in the 2010's.
It's just like in baseball where everyone now understands that hitting home runs gives you the best chance for a win. even if you strike out more. back in the 70's and 80's everyone was trying to hit for average.
Best 3 point shooters by decade in the nba
1980-1990 Dale Ellis 472 made
1990-2000 Reggie Miller 1,543 made
2000-2010 Ray Allen 1,974 made
2010-2020 Steph Curry 2,483 made
there is a clear trend since the advent of the 3 point shot. they will never go back to the bully ball of the 90's.
