Has Steph Curry ruined pick up basketball?

All the youths just jack up 3s every possession, and most have below average shots

Agreed.
I just don’t see young kids driving the lane for nasty dunks anymore.

I blame coaching. No one has taught them how to properly dunk

Steph has had an impact yes but others too. Me personally find myself shooting a lot more stepbacks the last couple years.

Nah, there have always been chuckers who had no idea what their shooting range was.

This is like when dudes complain about how men are becoming sissies now.
Perfect, be normal and take advantage of it with the ladies.
Let these nerds shoot their shot and then dunk on their faces.

Pickup games that play 1s and 2s instead 2s and 3s doesn’t help. Really makes 3s (2s in this instance) disproportionately valuable.

As opposed to dudes wildly driving and throwing up garbage layup attempts?
You know who always whipped everyone's asses in pickup? The old arse dude who sat outside and drilled 3s all day.

He’s right. All these kids chunk threes in rec ball but not one of them can make a fricking layup. Free throws may as well be half court shots.

Before the three it was mid ranged faders. Chuckers chuck.

YESSS!!!
Ever heard of a pick and roll little dude?!? How about a backside screen?
How about pass the ball more than once. And they are not just shooting 3s, they are shooting 3s two feet behind the 3 line when they don't have to. Nobody within 10 feet of them, but they are chucking the long 3.

if you play 1/2 points, it is stupid not to jack up a ton of 3s. and i said this back in the OT pickup BBall games of 06-08
Posted on 12/18/19 at 9:00 am to GreatLakesTiger24
I was jacking up 3s at the gym growing up in the 90s. Chicks dig the longball.

Unfortunately for me, I cannot shoot. My favorite part of playing is passing so pretty much always having an outlet in the corner is pretty sweet , however half the time the time these guys look like they learned to shoot the day before So I see wheree you are coming from

It'll self-correct eventually. Shots in the paint will become undervalued.

The 3-Point shot has ruined Basketball.
A Low Post player gets an offensive rebound in the lane.Instead of powering up for a shot and preparing for contact,they pass it out to the 3-point line.
Get off my yard and all that.
