    True and false.

    Todays players can shoot from beyond 3pt range, its just shot selection and bad shots.

    Bad shots meaning bad footing, pretty fadeaways, tryin to shoot when double or triple teamed, forced shots and so on.

    Shooting is a mind thing...90% mental, 10% physical. I would think that every player was taught how to shoot with proper form, its just applying that form in pressure situations.

      Put an NBA player in an open gym and just watch them shoot around. They won't miss. It's a total myth that players can't shoot anymore.


      Like Gilateen said, it's extremely poor shot selection and better defense nowadays. Players are bigger, stronger, and faster.......which in turn makes the court smaller.

        After Dallas' pathetic display of defense, its hard to make such a case

          Exactly.

          The NBA is not worse than when it was played in the 80s. It's just different.
