The NBA is full of many elite shooters, individuals who have pretty much perfected the art of throwing a leather ball through an 18 inch-wide hoop from roughly 23 too 26 feet away. A very niche skill. But nonetheless, one that teams all around the league are buying in bulk.
The three-point shot has come a long way from the gimmick state it began its life as. Indeed even through its puberty during the late 80’s and 90’s not many would go near it. And much like with many teenagers, it seemed insane to rely upon it. But fast forward to the dawn of 2018 and the three-point shot has grown up into a vastly popular, fan-favorite offensive weapon, wreaking havoc all over the hardwood.
