It was fun to watch Tiger bomb it 340 but they added distance to courses and it let to more parity and a better product


Based on revenue and ratings, that's not true. Golf was at it's peak popularity/profitability over the last 25 years when Tiger was dominating and setting course records.

They started making these 7000+ yd courses to "Tiger-proof". (Erin Hills is going to play 7800 yds next week) Instead of limiting the technology and adjusting rough/greens, they lenghthened the courses and changed the way the game is played. Many short game players were essentially eliminated from competition with the new courses while others had to focus too much on driving.

Move the line back to 25' and the Warriors/Rockets probably gain an advantage because they are exceptional at distance. The disparity between them and the middle of the pack shooting teams will grow. Do you keep moving the line back until the top shooting teams pps from perimeter is essentially equal to a mid-range?

I don't mind the elite shooters having even more of an advantage. They deserve it.

But if AD can make the 3 at 34%, it makes sense for him to take a bunch and that's dumb. That just isn't how he should play-- a once in a generation athlete like that. Move it back to 25 and he shoots 18% and never takes them. Ibaka never ruins his career by taking a ton and so on and so on

You keep the line there and the trend of 3point rate continues to go up. By 2020, we will have teams attempting more 3's per game than 2's

You wanna watch that product? Cause I don't
