As a little evidence to my theory that the three-point shot has killed basketball, did anyone see the highlights of the end of the Nuggets game in the NBA a few nights ago? They were down two, just a few seconds to go, got a steal, had a 4-on-1 fast break——and every player spotted up at the three point line. I mean, it would have been an uncontested dunk for anyone who went to the goal and would have sent the game into overtime. But instead they took a three that missed and lost the game. That’s the players mentality now, three’s over everything else.

I agree with you about the three-pointer.  I love teams that share the basketball and work to get that high percentage shot on each possession by making the extra pass. The Illinois-Chicago Final Four team from a few years back played the game beautifully.  Fundamentals are severely lacking in today's game. The product we are seeing right now in college basketball is just not very good.
