The fact that he spends hours plotting and making these graphs for us to visualize instead of throwing information at our faces truly shows why jimmy is the GOAT of basketball YouTubers

The Rockets missing 27 straight 3s in a game 7 is still one of the craziest things to happen in sports. It's like they were meant to lose that series
-
I think there’s a hidden advantage with the three pointer worth mentioning. Passing the ball around the perimeter is fairly safe. Turnovers and blocks, which don’t show up on shot percentages, are far more common inside. So while the points per attempt may be even, the points per possession when a team tries to score a 2 pointer end up being lower.
-
I personally think that the problem isn't the three ball, it's that the rules have made teams play soft defense and post moves harder to pull off.
-
This man straight up made me think 3 pointers need to be banned and then systematically dismantled my new found hatred for the 3 ball. Now i feel silly. Wat a vid bro

Jimmy: 3-pointers have ruined basketball Me: True. Something needs to be done. Jimmy: Actually, 3-pointers have kept the game balanced for decades since its inception Me: I agree. Please stop all these nonsense about nerfing it!
-
The reason why 2-pt FG% is up, might be because players stopped shooting the long 2s and replaced them with 3s. This removes ineffective low% 2s, it does not mean that the 3pt shot is creating better quality 2 pt shots. Another point is that fouls are called more often now, these shots does not count towards FG%. This again increases overall 2pt FG%
-
I don't care about the three-point shots. The reason why I haven't watched an NBA game in years? Because it's all about offense now. No one has to "fight" for points anymore, every idiot runs to the basket without any interference and scores, it's ridiculous and frustrating. For decades, I've been hoping for the rule on hand checking to change again. So that we can see exciting, good basketball again.

The evolution of the sport is really something to behold. I don’t know what else can change the sport like the 3 point evolution did. Shows curry’s greatness
-
In a way that’s why Shaq was so dangerous. He was so threatening close to the basket that the Lakers used him to create incredibly devastating 3-pointers. Amazing how many overturns this video has.
-
i was at a bbq a few days ago and 4 kids from 10-16 were playing pick up games they were all shooting 3's. when i played basketball, shooting a 3 was a last resort only to be used when we couldnt penetrate the defense and go for a layup or midrange. The way kids play no is so different and the NBA style definitely has impacted the playstyle of even games for fun

Fun fact: 2002 Lakers vs Nets Finals Game 4. There was a total of 28 3-pointers shot between both teams, 15 were made. Fast forward 20 years later 2022 Warriors vs Celtics Finals Game 6. There was a total of 74 3-pointers shot between both teams. 30 were made
-
12:24, the players haven’t gotten better at shooting 2-pointers. They’ve just stopped taking the low-percentage 18’ to 20’ shots because it’s more valuable to step back and shoot the three. So without those low-percentage shots, the overall percentage of two-pointers made has risen.
-
9:32 thank god - literally had zero idea which way this video was going - an art all in itself. What Morey forgets to add is his team was within 1% of the league average on long ball efficiency. Statistically this is on the money. 3 pointers are a self policing mechanism.
-
Basketball has become corrupted. They decided to make it a clown show. No defense non-stop 3-pointers. Anybody that watches basketball and that has any perspective from the past realizes that the game has become awful. I used to be a hardcore fan but I find it unwatchable.
-
Dont adjust the 3 pointer. Allow the defense to do more than just stand there. The player with the ball is basically untouchable now a days compare to the 90s defense.
-
Growing up for me, Steve Kerr was one of my favorites for his role in the Bulls as a perimeter threat. How fitting that he ended up coaching the guys that helped make the 3 pointer a go-to offensive tactic in todays basketball.
-
Jimmy this might be your best work. There’s no other NBA youtuber that leaves me more interested, more mindblown, and more in love with the sport. Seriously man, no one does it better. Incredible work!
-
My major issue with the logic: As players become better shooters over the years, the average three point percentage is about the same because that value equates the value of two and three point attempts. What changes is that more three pointers are taken and their average difficulty increases (longer shots, more of them while guarded).
-
Today's basketball feels like there's two teams that go to separate courts and shoot threes at the same time. There are score keepers but each team doesn't know the other teams score. They finish at the same time and the score keepers get together and put each team's score side by side and you got your NBA result. Thank you
