Obstructing View of the Rim on 3pt Attempts

Has this been discussed here. Apparently the Celtics C has some reason to be believe that essentially simply obstructing the shooter’s view of the rim from the paint has some negative effect on made attempts. It’s an interesting theory curious to see if there is some actual data to back it up. I will say shooters are taught to keep your eyes on the rim while shooting so distracting that view seems like a logical defense.
Obviously doing this has rebounding implications specifically if it is NOT the man you are guarding shooting the 3.

If it works I’m so for it. Maybe the NBA will evolve from just being 3 pointers and fouls shots

Blocking line of sight I think could have a more devastating effect than we think.
If you can't actually block a shot, then you are doing no good.

Analytics show that blocking the line of sight on a 3 point attempt is one of the most effective ways to play defense against those shots...especially if you are late to get over on defense. It also prevents you from fouling 9n the shot.
The NBA has begun doing this a lot, and Eric Musselman, a former NBA guy with still deep connections to the league, in college preaches this relentlessly to his teams.
It only makes sense that you can't hit what you can't see.

I mean it's better than closing out hard and fouling.

His deep connections didn’t give him much effective advice while he was in the league.

Sounds good, until now you give up the most offensive boards in the league because your center is so far out of rebounding position.

That guy that was shooting in that video is a 20% 3 pt shooter this season. Could have just missed both because he's not very good at it.
Also could have missed because he was thrown off because it's such an odd play by the center.

Obviously I'm not an NBA player by any mean, but I'm a white boy that can hit threes in pickup games. Played against a 6-10 guy and he would do that as I was shooting and it really made a huge difference for me. I couldn't hit a thing and he played off of me more than anyone else did.

I made it rain all the time with hands blocking my view of the entire goal in hs, shooters still shoot

So common sense that’s been practiced in basketball forever?

I shoot with my eyes closed just to spite the other team’s big man.
