Golden State Warriors star Draymond Greene is not shy about speaking his mind, but resonated with the game’s state on Saturday morning of the All-Star Weekend in San Francisco. Green called the Modern NBA “very boring” and explained why he loves to compete with LeBron James.
The Los Angeles Lakers recently defeated the Warriors 120-112, with ancestor day between James and Steph Curry, the latter off with 42 points, 17 rebounds and 8 assists, while the former was 37 points, 7 rebounds and 4 I gave out a few assists. assist.
Despite the outcome, Green said it was “refreshing” to face James.
“All ownership is a kind of chess move,” Green said via the Associated Press. “You don’t get it in the NBA today. … You don’t just get it on a regular basis. It hits more than three if you can run faster. Can, it’s not a real thing. It’s boring. “
Ironically, the Warriors are probably more responsible than any other team that pushed the NBA into this interval and shooting era. Their small ball approach, with Centre at Center and Curry and Klay Thompson firing from 3-point range, not only won three championships, but also changed the sport forever.
Green is among many who have felt things have gone too far in recent years. The 2015-16 Warriors, who won 73 games, led the league with 31.6 points attempts per game. That mark ranks 29th this season. There are over 40 teams per game led by the Celtics at 48.3. This is earning them at a pace that breaks the record-highest record of all time for season attempts.
In fact, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the league is investigating the issue. In an interview with Colin Cowherd on January 15th, Silver said there was a change in his mind.

However, Silver pointed out that there was no easy solution and that the league didn’t want to make a reactionary decision.
“So I think we have to be careful,” Silver said. “One thing we don’t want to do is not just move the Niejerk over the three-point line. We now see how these players are adapting to the new rules. You are going through the process and you will understand what changes we should make.
“To be honest, it would be nice if it was as easy as moving a three-point line backwards, but some of the concerns from basketball people are that when you put the three-point line backwards, you say, “LL.” It’s just clogging the area under the basket, and it’s not even a particularly attractive basketball either.”
It’s fascinating to see how the NBA deals with current three-point shooting trends and how it affects the rest of the game. No matter what happens in the next few years, it’s clear that the league is listening to people who are unhappy with Green and the current state of play.
