Dividing up the history of basketball into before and after the 3-pointer

The three point shot has always been the less injury-risk, lazier way to score. As soon as contracts got bigger and competition declined to reduce injury to mega contract players, the nba got softer and catered towards career preservation versus win at all costs.

It perfectly correlates with the ascension of millennials into the college and nba ranks. And now, you have a glorified WNBA regular season product that dominates play.

It represents the millennialization of America’s attitudes towards work and life. Any player born in 1981 on essentially shares this attitude - self-entitled and no respect for anyone who built the nba to where it is today.
