    The 3 pointer has killed the NBA I grew up watching in the 90's and 2000's.

    Analytically it makes sense to shoot a ton of them, but the game is less interesting in that there is basically no offensive strategy anymore besides get up as many threes as you can.

    Luka isn't close to LeBron.

    The Warriors look good doing it. But they also attack the paint.

    Ball movement, player movement, rebounding and defense is still the best way to win. But you have to get talented players and shooters sold on doing that.

    Playoff stats for luka are nearly identical to young Lebron in cleveland.

    33/9/8 on elite efficiency.

    They had the 3 point shot in the 90s and 2000s, of course, though. Speaking of 90s, remember when they moved the three point line in closer for a season? By the way, last night, the Heat shot 38% from the three point line and the Celtics shot 23% from the 3 point line. Heat made 14 threes. Celtics made 8 threes. Celtics won in a blowout.

    Oh my god. It does wonders for my ego to know I have more Twitter followers than Vanilla Fucking Ice.

    Yeah, but LeBron would just blow through the Pistons' defense and throw down clutch dunks play after play. Doncic doesn't quite play like that. Doncic is more like James Harden if James Harden didn't suck in the playoffs.

    I don't know about that. Look at last night's game between the Celtics and Heat.

    Tough to defend it as well. I was wondering the other day if they were going to add a 4 point shot and or move the three point line back and make the court bigger?

    Yeah 88K is pretty good but not 332K.
    I have like 100 so I'm not really relevant in the world.

    How many All NBA Defensive teams do you foresee Lebron's twin making?

    I grew up with the same NBA, and sure as shit don't miss games ending with scores in the 80s.
