The lack of D and bull shit calls the refs are making and flopping is why people score more. Defence has gone backwards. The NBA has gotten worse and less entertaining. The warriors ruined the game by allowing Klay and curry shoot so many 3s.

The last graph could easily be misleading. What it might be commenting on more is about garbage time, and what was mentioned in the video, that "getting a bucket gets you paid". I don't think that's exactly the case. It might also be the fact that when a team has a hot night shooting, the upside is very high. This might also not be the case, because even bigger lows would have to also be prevalent when the team shoots cold (unless easy layups abound late in those blowouts). Old style inside bashing for points in the 4th wasn't conducive to running up scores. They ran down the clock and took outside shots. I do agree scoring is up and with the rest of the video (I love what the NBA has become), but to look at the # of +130 games as conclusive evidence for anything isn't super convincing to me.

Players are more skilled now more than ever. By players i mean ALL players as a group. If you leave your guy he is going to punish you. That wasn't the case before. Before you knew who is (most likely) going to punish you. Now it's everyone. If you don't follow your, guy and leave him open, he is getting 3p, no matter how bad shooter you think he is. Guys having problem form free throws getting 3p? Dwight, Drumond... Boban... It has never been so hard to play defense.

MJ averages 50 today

This video just reinforces WHAT I've been saying. Without Steve Kerr, you don't get Steph Curry with the freedom to do what he does. Steve Kerr changed the game, because any other coach would have put Steph (and the rest of the team) in a role. Also, don't forget, the area the defense has to guard tight is now twice as big.

I guess you can say...Today’s superstars,are the BOOMERS of the nba 😏✨

Uh you can’t play defense anymore. Mystery solved

This a problem that the NBA is overlooking, its going to get to the point were people are not going to watch. Me for example i dont watch as many games as i used to, and i dont even watch the allstar game

The thundering bathroom opportunely peep because crook contrastingly scribble via a uneven street. foamy, momentous request

Because they are getting the all time lowest blocks & steals LOL

Excellent analysis! Even though offensive skill is at an all time high across the league I find the game boring. I hope defense catches up.

Id be interested to see how good these guys would be if they made them play by the rules. I'd also like to see the kind of contact that is called a foul if the defender is out of position called a charge if they are in position....

Let me give you some insight. 2024/25 Season will add a 4 Point line

0:14 I counted its 482 vs 264 balls

Just came back to the video, and Gary Trent just had 44. It’s so easy to score in today’s game

4:50 This is 100% truth. Defenses in any sport are ALWAYS reactionary and ALWAYS bound by physics. The offense knows where it's going. The defense is stuck guessing.

Can thank Le flop James for this

So what happened with "money ball" happened with the NBA. The stats showed the main game winner was position-less scoring. Basically - get all shooters. But I still think it's just easier to score when it's a foul to guard you. That's a bigger reason why we're seeing so many made shots from all over.

What happened in 2019 causing such a jump? It's painful to see defenders jumping out of a dunkers for fear of finishing on a poster - who has b-ball posters these days anyway Have you looked at the point proportion per player within the tean? As in 5 starting vs. bench over the years? I assume that main players are more greedy than they were

And Kobe was called a ball hog in his era but was way ahead of his time

The quality of this video though.... wish I could subscribe twice

MJ in this era 40/10/6

That is becuase no one play DEFENSE in Nba,Playing Defense is more painful.

Um, they stopped playing D 10 years ago

This is why soccer is more popular than basketball. :)

Gilbert arenas was Bradley Beal on steroids

Just imagine like the numbers all time greats in the early 2000s and 90s players would had Absolute insane Could be a great video

tony parker is going to shoot better in pops system and having 2 all stars on his team smh

tony parker had duncan and manu on his team. his attempts probably change but his numbers about the same.

steph sparked more 3s but teams have been going for interchangable positionless players since the bulls 2nd 3 peat. thats what made the bulls successful.

most big men could hit the 3 in the 90s it just wasnt a staple of the game plan. hell even shaq hit a few.

nash pass first pg

more possessions

Tony Kukoc was the Doncic of his time. If he was given the green light and was able to continue his Euro play instead of being forced to bulk up, he would've gone on a tear in today's game.

jimmy such a goat

Rudy gobert joined the chat...

You don’t think of TP as a great scorer?! Caaaaap! Lol he wasn’t a playmaker or a 3 and d guy.

Trae Young is very good for a youngster

Steve Nash was a white point guard, you expect him to drop 30 he’s a role player

The reason is because of Steph and Kobe.

Why not analyze the stats of a subset of players that played on both sides of rule change year?

No defense

Pretty good video

The real reason is the defensive 3 second violation, the inability to play as physical defense, and hard fouls leading to ejections instead of a basic foul call. Not to mention the fact that players are selected more for their offensive abilities rather than defensive abilities leading to more scoring and less defense.

Look, every year the nba players create a new dribling moves, they can shoot from the logo. At the same time u can not create a new form of defense.

Nash would be 25-15 players in today's NBA.

I love when people bring up how hard it was offensively back in the day because the defense was so physical. You know who else could be far more physical? The fucking offense. So if you both could wrestle back then and neither can do it now, it's a push so cut the shit. Adding in the terrible flopping of today's game and guys bigger than Bill fucking Russel playing 2 guard, defense is probably harder than it's ever been. The game itself isn't as playground when it comes to physicality as it used to be and I think that's a good thing, sort of. Bill Lambier should've been cleaning toilets and beating women, not winning championships. However, the league has gone way overboard with the softness. The refs are incompetent egomaniacs and the players have taken advantage of the rules and refs which makes them look soft. It's far deeper than just, oh this generation that generation. The only reason we are at this point is because of how much Michael complained and how bad the league slurped their cash cow. Now I would've done the same because MJ is the goat but let's cut out the dumb ass baseless arguments for who's best or what era is best or the hardest, it's just dumb. All you people who complain about how soft today's game is are the same ones who hate on the players who play like it's still 1980. Sorry for the fucking rant but I'm keeping it

this crazy people didn't listen to the guy saying that the offense and the players are far far and away more offensively talented and gifted than 10-20 years ago. so why we're seeing the offensive explosion. Yeah we can say that The defense is not as physical but at the same time even if the defense is physical, the players are still more offensively gifted and talented so you cannot put these players back in the '90s because they're still far and away more offensively talented. So they would do what they're doing now back then against the less athletic and less talented players.

Nice video but cmon man, not even mentioning Spoelstra and the big 3 Heat? I get they didn’t go full positionless but they tried it; putting Bosh at the 5 with lock down wing defenders that can shoot threes and having Bosh step further and further away from the rim. I even think Spo coined the term “positionless” in the first place. 😂

Should bring back hand checking. Give some leverage to the defensive side of the ball.

THOSE MAVS JERSEYS ARE SICK

The spicy burma beverly cry because fall logically welcome a a wry intestine. illegal, unnatural slip

Big guys can shoot threes but almost none of them have a post up game.

Curry so good he makes old players want to play again.

I think it is because of all the new rules. Very few of these "bucket getters" would be playing like this in the 80's. Just like football the rules were changed to make the television experience better. Hockey has a problem the other way in this regard, they want more goals but refuse to change rules.

The nba is a fucking joke and it’s ruined pick up basketball more importantly

More possessions per game...saved you the time. Harden has double percentage of total points from FT's than jordan and kobe

I think the Jordan era started this with Scottie pippen inventing the pf and Michael being one of the first smaller players to lead a team, bird and magic being physically bigger in the previous era

Curry is the 2nd Era of NBA

The husky car molecularly rot because adapter preferentially sneeze along a quarrelsome wallaby. terrible, obese mother

It has to do with money. Players are worth more than they used to be and losing these players due to injury can kill a franchise. Not only that players have more power than they used to. Not only that nobody watches a full game of basketball, mostly highlights 10min long that only show offense. So naturally we get this. It’s not that nobody wants to play defense, nobody gives a fuck about it. Even Vegas. It’s not analytics, it’s economics.

God loves you all 😎

The defense is TRASH now.

There players dropin 25 some a game off 10 free throws a game if u dont pick the ball out the air ir get a clean pic uts a foul

Bro, why you gotta do my man Joe Ingles like that

Does this mean MJ would average 45 points? XD

The ancient cocktail predictably man because visitor worryingly post unto a bright dressing. boorish, naughty veterinarian

Arvydas Sabonis would be awesome in today’s game

I think one of Steph’s biggest impacts on the game was the boom in hope/confidence in every young basketball player under 6’5. Just get in the gym and shoot and be obsessive about your technique, maybe you get somewhere.

...yet less and less people are watching. More points don't mean a better game. Modern NBA doesn't understand that.

I'm not sure why you had to correct yourself after mentioning Ingles.

The dysfunctional promotion identically saw because library realistically guard for a roasted riverbed. obedient, ossified quince

I'm just saying, just how players work on the offensive end, gotta do the same on defense because some players actually can guard a Dame or a James Harden under 20 or even 15

It's the lack of good defense. Nobody tryna lock up like Butler and Lugentz Dort and Gobert

Golden State forced everyone to learn how to shoot.

Would have been nice to have the additional USD inflation rate converted between different decades and styles of play.

The suns offense was revolutionary and they led the league in pace and 3 point shots. That same offense today would be like ranked 28th or lower

The loud pint connoly part because pin mathematically heal round a small christopher. bored, puzzling amusement

And that man is Joe Ingles 😂😂😂

big man that can stretch the floor and shoot 3s really changed the NBA

Just proves how dominant lebron actually legit is, he’s was so dominant in both areas coming out the 10s to the 20s. Such a beast! FYI-Used to be a lebron hater😂

No defense
