The evolution of the NBA: the game has changed

How The Game Has Changed From 2001 To 2020

The NBA is changing year and evolving year after year.

Per Fadeawayworld, In the graphic, you can see how mid-range is disappearing, if it’s not completely disappeared, while points at the paint and from beyond the arc are the favorite of the players.

Right now, Harden shoots 13.6 triples per game, trying 517 in total. Stephen Curry, the main responsible for this whole ‘revolution’, was trying 9.3 3-PT attempts per game before his hand injury, averaging 24.3 percent from deep.

To put things into perspective, Ray Allen made 3.3 3-point shots in the 2001/02 season. This year, James Harden is making 5.3 of those shots. Antoine Walker was the player who attempted more triples with 8.0 at the beginning of the 2000s, while Harden is attempting 13.6 triples every time he steps on the court.

Right now any player needs to develop a 3-point shot. Even Dwight Howard has developed one and he’s currently averaging 60% from beyond the arc
