He still does GB Packers exhibition games. It's odd having better announcers during those games than over half the regular season.My boys were incredulous when I told them Harlan used to do local Twolves broadcasts.
I have no problem with 3's but agree the league has now swung too far in favor of pure shooters over every other basketball skill. The NBA has never been shy about making tweaks to the rulebook to shift how teams play. Hopefully that continues with some combination of ideas to give teams multiple ways to be effective on offense vs the current homogeneous move to the same analytically sound 3's/rim/foul line approach.I loved this. I agree with Goldsberry, it's a real problem for the league. The increase in three-point shooting was great for the game in the early part of the decade when it led to better spacing and more ball movement, but now things seem to be moving in the other direction.
I especially liked the idea of slimming the paint to improve the math on post play and moving the 3 point line out a bit. I would also be in favor of doing something to the corner 3. Eliminating it would be one solution, but the other idea Goldberry had that was really interesting was making it a 3 second area similar to the paint is for defenders. I'd be intrigued to see how offenses would adapt when two players can't simply stand in the corner for the entire possession.
