Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green Never hesitate to talk about his mind, and he rang on the state of the match early Saturday morning during the star weekend in San Francisco. Green called the modern Nba “Very boring” and explained why he likes to compete LeBron James.
THE Los Angeles Lakers recently defeated the Warriors, 120-112, in a duel back between James and Steph Curry In which the latter was launched for 42 points, 17 rebounds and eight assists, while the first collected 37 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
Despite this result, Green said it was “refreshing” to play against James because he makes you think.
“Each possession is a type of chess,” Green said, via the Associated Press. “You don’t understand this today in the NBA, often. … You are not satisfied with that. Boring.”
Ironically, the Warriors are perhaps more responsible than any other team to push the NBA in this era of spacing and shooting. Their approach to small ball with green in the center and curry and Klay Thompson The shooting of the range of 3 points not only helped them to win three championships, but has changed the sport forever.
Green is part of many, who feel that things have been too far in recent years. The 2015-2016 Warriors, which won 73 games, led the league with 31.6 3-point attempts per game. This brand would rank 29th this season. There are four teams who take more than 40 3s per game, led by the Celtics At 48.3, which has on the verge of breaking the record of all time for attempts in a season.
Indeed, the commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver, said that the league examined the question. During an interview with Colin Cowherd on January 15, Silver said that changes arrived: “As the game goalkeepers, Joe Dumars conducting our competition committee here, we will modify it, we correct these problems,” said Silver.

Silver, however, noted that there is no easy solution and that the league did not want to make a reactionary decision.
“So I think we just have to be careful,” said Silver. “The only thing we don’t want to do is that I don’t just want to move the 3 -point line. We are going through a process now, seeing how these players adapt to the new rules, and determine What changes should we bring.
“To be honest, I want it to be as simple as simply to move the line with 3 points, because then we would do it.” I will end up obstructing the area under the basket, and it is not a also attractive basketball. “
It will be fascinating to see how the NBA decides to respond to the trend of shooting in 3 points, and how it in turn affects the rest of the game. Whatever happens in the coming years, it is clear that the League Listen Green and those who are frustrated by the current state of play.
