    That reminds me of when that one college player took 108 shots, including 71 3's, to score 138 points.

    I hadn't thought about that in a while, but your OP reminded me about it

    I think it's time american basketball disengages from international basketball and declares itself a new sport.

    This isn't basketball anymore. Not like how its played around the world. It's a different sport.

    That's ok. We have rugby and australian football and american football.

    You need to call it what it is though. It aint basketball.

    May be close to time to considering a rule change to make other shoots more valuable. I know the Cs are the worst offenders here but the game is turning into three point spam.

    Why make other shots more valuable, I think a better solution is make everything 2 points. You want to shoot from 30 feet? Knock yourself out, still just worth two points. Or maybe only the fourth quarter are threes worth 3. Because the time is coming where an NBA team is going to put up 100 three pointers. Probably next season or the one after that.

    I think players sometimes forget the most efficient shots are at the rim or foul line.

    Yep, would be more interesting to see it closer to being a mixed-bag instead.

    I may be crazy but it seems like 3PA are down a little this year. Still lame and I still got tired of it years ago. Eliminate the 3.
    NBA laughed when the ABA introduced it. People are going to tune out eventually. I hope.

    But low-scoring games from the 90s are banal as well. It's always good to see a middle ground between the two i guess.
