Sorry dude, but these mathematics are what has driven the game to be what it is now.
Well that certainly explains a lot, lol. Ugh.
Its why inside guys who shoot 53% are not valued or used nearly as much as three point shooters who shoot 45%. Just the threat of a guy who can shoot 40+% from three is valuable because if you put enough of them on the floor with a player like player three who can shoot efficiently AND get to the line, that opens space for player three types, the most efficient type scorers, to be most effective. Space the floor, and the Harden, Lebron and Durant type become that more effective. Its the math of the current NBA.
Unfortunately you can no longer look at the strengths of 12 individual players and make up game plans and plays that make each player their most effective. You can't have a playbook full of millions of plays that opens up every player to be their most efficient and useful for every type of matchup. You have to have a system and pkug the players into the system that maximizes the efficiency of the system. With of course that system being altered to make the superstars most efficient.
Thats the modern NBA. Thats the math behind it. Its not changing anytime soon.
Why not? I'm not even suggesting some kind of playbook with "millions of plays", and not just because I am not even capable of diagramming a single one, ahahaha. All I'm suggesting is to take advantage of the strengths of your players, exploit matchups, and play out of such. Chess instead of checkers, so to speak. Welp, it looks like I have to stop watching classic basketball, lol
. Sigh.
