I just think people are whining too much. I'm not one of the most ancient players, but i guess i understand some aspects of the game, especialy after the beggining of NBA predictions.

Just think that Driving and Passing are two VERY underestimated skills. Looking at Lebron James BB version, the guy had lvl17 driving, lvl 9 JS, lvl 11 IS and lvl 9 JR. Meanwhile, a top scorer at top divisions in BB is most likely a PG/SG with lvl15 JS, lvl13 JR, lvl 11 Driving.

Oh, and BTW, Posey was lvl15 I guess at JR. Even tough like lvl 10 at JS...



To FOREST: If you plan to pump up 3PT, please do with FG in general, because just like the "problem" concerning 3pt in comparision with "RL", FG %s are not similar to NBA either.

I agree there shouldn't be changes which favor one approach.

I've got one player with sensational jumprange and he shoots 41% of the 3-pointers, I think that's a lot. But it's probably the case because he is capable of more than shooting 3P's, which makes him shoot only when chances are good.

One time I was practicing three-points shooting from my driveway, except that the driveway wasn't really all that big so I had to shoot from the street or from the front lawn, and my brother's friend's mom came to pick him up, the friend that is, and she drove her station wagon onto the driveway and I had to wait for my brother's friend to come out of the house and get in the car and for the car to leave before I could get back to practicing shooting, and while I was waiting I got to thinking about the pole holding up the backboard was leaning forward a lot and that made it harder to shoot from the baseline, not that there was a baseline on the driveway or street, but if there was a baseline in the place where it would be, but the angle of the pole actually made it a little easier to shoot from straight on, except that with the backboard angling down a little it was really hard to go glass, though the backboard was actually fiberglass and regular glass, so I guess that banking a shot in would be called going fiberglass, but the hoop was on the long end of the driveway so that the half-court, which was the driveway, was wide but not even deep enough to have a proper free throw line, and my basketball was lopsided and has poor grip and no air and I couldn't find an air pump and the ball's material was so scratched up that the fibers in the material, whatever it was, made the ball look like it had this fuzz on it, but with all the practicing with this lousy ball on this lousy half-court actually made me a pretty good shooter once I started playing on a better court with a better ball, and I can't remember what my point was going to be about all this, but then again I think that's kind of where this whole tread is going, too...

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

Except for by the time we have the best jump shooter there will be the best defenders as well... and the shooting percentage goes down with better defense. I dont think i'm giving anything away there by saying that.

though maybe this explains what we see right now.. maybe people are overtraining defense... if everyone is shooting so poorly whats the point in having a better defense? to shoot even more poorly? how do any of the users have a sense that they haven't made their opponents shoot as poorly as they should...

or more accurately there is some incremental amount that you could make someone shoot worse if you were an incrementally better at defense... d opponents shooting / d defensive training if you will... now how does that compare to d your shooting/ d shooting training? i would argue that people should be trying to see which of those things are higher and choosing to train that one, because really you care about winning.

edit: course you really have a fixed amount of training so then you need to know

d def. training/ d training and d off. training/ d training and use the chain rule... to... um.... yeah... ok, i was a physics major.. im gonna shutup now.

EDIT: SOME OF THESE STATEMENTS MIGHT BE MISLEADING.. PLEASE READ (66639.86)

BTW PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A QUANTITATIVE ANALOGY

Just think that Driving and Passing are two VERY underestimated skills. Looking at Lebron James BB version, the guy had lvl17 driving, lvl 9 JS, lvl 11 IS and lvl 9 JR. Meanwhile, a top scorer at top divisions in BB is most likely a PG/SG with lvl15 JS, lvl13 JR, lvl 11 Driving.


Where can these skills be found?
