Byron Scott - "3 pointers don't win championships"

[3peated]

Smfh . I wanted jeff gundy or mark jackson. Scott sucks!!!

Jesus Ray & D Fish 3 won championship..

Retard.


He isn't saying being able to shoot 3's doesn't win championships. The heat, spurs, and mavs were NOT built around 3s. l2basketball.


a clutch 3 can win anygame, but everyone always say "you live and die by the 3" no one is gonna be on point every night with 3s, having an inside game is more reliable and efficient if you do it properly.

Byron's stuck in the 80s. Guess his players aren't gonna defend the 3 point line. Good luck with that defense.

In today's game, in order to contend, you must have good 3 point shooters or at the least the threat of the 3pter. There are few dominant big men and "inside shooting" requires 3pt shooters to space the floor or the opponent will pack the paint (see MEM of recent years).

Byron needs to move with the times/rules.

Y'all trippin too much with that whole era talk... Byron shot 2 3's per game for his career in 28 MPG, on 37%, and don't forget he became a pro in the 80s; at some point he was at 3 3PA's per game, in less than 34 min, making 42% of them.
Let's not act like he doesn't know (or at least should, and did) the importance of three-pointers, let's not act like he wasn't shooting them, let's not act like the teams he played for didn't utilize it at some point or another, if "only" to space the floor.
Plus, already in the 80s, 4 of the 10 champions were top7 in 3pt%, 2 of them were #1 (including a team which Byron was in).
And, EVEN nowadays, championship-teams are not "built around 3's".

Anyways, with that said, I could've somewhat understand where he comes from if he had the right players for that "job"... An elite offensive center, some great defenders, team that could move the ball around really well, various mid-range threats, players to play/finish inside, paint protection, rebounders... Say, if he had Kareem/Green/Worthy/Scott/Magic
Now, I can't see where he's aiming at because he just doesn't have the personnel to run the kind of offense he wants... Who's gonna drive and finish in the paint? Only old/post-injury Kobe or something? Who's gonna be a post-up threat? Only got Kobe for that. Who's gonna hit mid-range jumpers consistently? I can only see Kobe doing it, Nash is too old, Boozer will shoot plenty of bricks as well, got nobody else.
Oh, then if you wanna aply those strategies while shooting a small amount of 3's, you gotta be a great defensive team, you gotta have some great defensive players to go around... That's not the case, AT ALL.
...
Then again, when you think about it, he doesn't have much to work with or any close to that, so...
He can be aiming to do a great job at tanking, as well, though With that team it ain't gonna be hard...

[wakencdukest]

Neither do undersized frontcourts who can't shoot worth a damn.

[coin24]

The team is complete shit anyway, doesn't really matter what system he wants to run
It really is just Kobe and a bunch of scrubs.

[Taller than CP3]

He's just mad his parents named him Byron.

[sammichoffate]

The most consistent three point shooter on the Lakers is Wayne ****ing Ellington for ****'s sake. Byron is ethering all of you

[I<3NBA]

it does't matter what he does or says anyway. championships for the Lakers are decades away. maybe even a lifetime away.

[Cold soul]

From one extreme in D'antoni, to another with Byronnasaurus Rex and his old school mentality

Lose/lose situation.

[PsychoBe]

because the heat and spurs were purely known for their 3-point shooting

The Spurs were 2nd in the league last year in 3pt%. It was a huge part of their gameplan

[HOoopCityJones]

Who gives a shit, Byron just knows what every legit Basketball fan should by now. The Lakers don't have a single pure shooter on the squad. Asking a starting line-up of Kobe , Boozer , Wes Johnson, Old Nash and J.Hill to shoot a high volume of 3ptrs would be suicide.

Our best shooter is Ellington and he's a super scrub.

[fpliii]

This year is going to be brutal.

I'm hoping Kobe goes full gunner this season.
