Phil's right about not needing to be a top 3-point shooting team to ring

[3ball]

The stats back him up.

The 2011 Heat had one of the best offenses in the league while only attempting 18.0 three-pointers per game.

They won the championship in 2012 with only 15.6 three-pointers per game.

By comparison, Phil's Bulls attempted 16.5 threes in 1996, and 17.1 threes per game in 1997.

In recent years, numerous teams with far inferior players had success while shooting less threes than the 2nd three-peat Bulls.. So I see no reason why Bulls wouldn't supercede any team today, by simply shooting the same # of threes they shot back then.

The Grizzlies won 55 games this year by attempting only 15.2 threes per game.

That's less than the number of three-point attempts per game of the 2nd three-peat Bulls.

So why not use the Grizzlies' 55 wins as a floor, and assume the vast superiority of MJ and Scottie would win 75?

Phil is going to be in danger of being stuck in the past, like a relic or dinosaur, the game has changed now. If he builds a team around this premise that you don't need a big men who can shoot and spread the floor. The Nicks will pay the price of early exits.

He just drafted Porzingus, so apparently he doesn't undervalue big man floor-spacers.

However, he HAS said he doesn't think you need to be one of the best 3-point shooting teams itl to win a championship.. Which is true.

In recent years, numerous teams had success while shooting less threes than the 2nd three-peat Bulls (about 17 threes per game) - and these teams had far inferior players than the Bulls.

So there is no reason why the Bulls wouldn't be the best team today by simply shooting the same # of threes they shot back then (again, about 17 per game, slightly more than the Heat in 2011 and 2012, and more than this year's Grizzlies).

You don't have to be a great 3 point shooting team, but you need rebounding and defense first and foremost. If you don't already have top tier talent, you need to fall back on rebounding and defense.

3 point shooting is a bonus, but it will soon be the norm in this league if it isn't already.

Sounds like he has been misrepresented in the media, which is not surprising.

My question is WHAT team won with only 3 point shooting anyway? Every team has a combo of things that allow it to win........what's the point. Oh Mj
