In today's NBA game, players are shooting the 3-pointer more than ever before, and records are continually being broken. Last season, teams shot an average of 24.1 3-pointers per game, which was a league record. That record is already on pace to be broken in the 2016-17 season. Mike Wise of The Undefeated, highlights why this is happening and what it means for the sport.
Wise makes the argument that “The gunner is a good teammate, not a ball hog".
Last year’s MVP, Stephen Curry, broke the single-season record for most 3-pt field goals attempted with 886, and made with 402.
