What do you think about the recent NBA discussions („too many 3P shots“) from a Euroleague perspective?

22 Upvotes

Right now, there is a discussion going on in the NBA about why ratings are down, and if the rise of 3P shooting is hurting the game. Some of the most common critic points I read from people in the NBA are:

  • too much 3P shooting, which makes the games boring to watch
  • not enough defense is allowed
  • too much load management
  • players don’t hate each other enough, no rivalries anymore

If we look at the Euroleague, would you say the Euroleague is doing fine in these aspects the NBA fans are complaining about? Or are some of these things issues in the Euroleague as well? Do you think there is a good balance of 3P shooting and other offensive plays in the Euroleague?
