Here's an excerpt from an ESPN NBA writer's article about what some consider a problem in the NBA.
"For a growing number of NBA executives and coaches, the problem isn't that NBA offenses are wrong for firing up an average of 35 attempts per game from long distance. The problem is that they're right. It would be tactical malpractice for any team to swear off the 3-pointer. There are a handful of players whose midrange 2-point attempt represents a high-percentage shot, but for the vast majority of players, the best shot is one from behind the 3-point line or at the rim. "

Poses the question then.. Should we have a 6 foot arc separating 2 pointers from 1 pointers? That would be a very odd game, but interesting all the same.
