Basketball it’s All About Shooting & Scoring
Like other sports the game of basketball has certainly changed over the years. But the importance of being able to shoot the ball is the most significant change in basketball. All players must be able to shoot the ball and score in today's game. The three-point line has forced this development. All players are expected to make the three-point shot today but that is not all that is required.
Defensive strategy has changed over the years because of the three-point line. Defenses are now spread out. Often all five offensive players are setting up outside the three-point line. This means there are more shots available inside the three-point line. Also, it is mandatory that a player can take his defensive player off the dribble, penetrate and either kick the ball out or finish the layup.
