Today, a writer at the Boston Globe, Bob Lane, published an article titled "You Can Blame Curry for Ruining Basketball on All Levels," and in a recent interview with the media, he talked about why Curry ruined basketball.
The first reason is because Curry's three-point shot has become a publicity gimmick in the league today, so many people and even inside players have given up the technical action under the basket and instead made a fuss on the outside. The second reason he slammed Curry for ruining basketball is that the current children imitate Curry's shots, but these children are destined not to become Curry.
The writer's reasons seem to have some truth, but in fact, they are attacking the way basketball is developed now, which is a retrogression of history. Today's small-ball tactics and Curry are mutually successful. Modern basketball pays more attention to the use of basketball technology, which not only makes the game very efficient, but also reduces the physical burden of many players. Basketball in the 90s emphasized confrontation, so overall, in that era, players had shorter careers, and basically after the age of 30, they would go downhill.
And now the rise of modern basketball and the tacit understanding of the team, so that many of the current stars play their own consumption is very small, now whether it is Currymus or Durant, are already in their 30s, but they are still at the peak, and now they are still the façade of the NBA, making a lot of money for the league. Now that the player's career is prolonged and the league's income is getting higher and higher, this is a two-for-one situation, how can it be Curry who harms basketball?
