12. 3-point shot in college basketball is a flaw

Generally players aren't as good as NBA players so you often see teams blow their chance at winning(in a close game) or blow a lead by abusing the 3-point shot.

NBA it isn't so bad IMO because there are deadly shooters but still teams make bad decisions by choosing a 3-point shot over something that will improve their odds of scoring on the possession. Plus I was a big Reggie Miller fan and like Ray Allen a lot too.

I remember you posting a video which was analysis of the deciding game of the NBA Finals between 76ers and the Blazers but I didn't(and still don't) have a clue what your reference to the 3-point shot was about especially since the guy breaking down the game didn't even mention it. He did compare that 76ers team to last year's Heat and the Blazers to the Mavericks but I didn't think that was it. The Heat don't shoot very many 3-pointers(they are 25th in 3-point attempts per game), probably a contributing factor as to why they are one of the best teams in the NBA or that they don't have great 3-point shooters besides Chalmers and James Jones. Lebron James is actually pretty good from behind the arc this season.
