SFP has never played a second of competitive basketball and knows absolutely nothing about the game. Like most nerds he repeats ignorant and incomplete talking points that mean nothing in the practical application of the game. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

More emotional incoherence.

I wonder how much the Kirk Goldsberry shot maps helped to finally cement the current offensive strategies.

I don't know if it was this specifically, but it is the same sourcing.

Here was a case of a guy with a PhD and Harvard affiliation showing objectively that long 2’s went in at a 2-3% higher clip than three-point shots, with a gigantic sample size and no typical blogger snark.

I suspect it really won over GM’s and execs.

I think the smart ones were already comprehending the efficiency advantage before it got out, publicly.

Clearly the Warriors changed everything in terms of leaguewide acceptance.

What?

1. You bring up football as a comparison
2. I fix your football comparison to make it better
3. You call comparing the NBA to football "ridiculous"
4. I point out your logical inconsistency
5. You claim I'm relying on "emotional incoherence"

The NBA is apparently the only professional league that somehow got worse with the evolution of the athlete over the last 30-40 years. Not to mention, the fact that some genius figured out that three is bigger than 2.
