Yes, okay - but IMO the biggest change in the game coinciding with the 3 point line

was the dribble or lack of a dribble. Players (I believe to help MJ to super stardom to help another franchise with revenue as the Celtics and Lakers - Hawks sort of dominated the NBA oxygen.) were now aloud to carry the ball, palm the ball and take that elusive third step. Also the use of the body to create contact by the ball handler as to not be called for a charge - unequally the defender now has the ability to use his body but not to the same extent.

Yes there are some good plays but mostly the game is boring resting somewhere between football and 1 on 5 street ball.

Super boring.
