That will never happen, so the bombs away or layup dichotomy will continue.

Agree re: bad for basketball. It's bad for the fan experience. The sheer volume of 3s being thrown up makes it far less of an entertaining spectacle when they do drop, and the continued heat on the rim leads to more FTs than it does highlight plays. I get why teams do it, but it's making the NBA a less entertaining product to watch.
