This is the craziest thing I've ever saw
I really don't like the way basketball has evolved but it's hard to argue with the math. What is funny to think about is how many kids playing video games probably figured out the strategy before the NBA and college caught on?
I can remember playing NBA Live (I think?) on freaking sega and pretty much everything was a dunk/layup or a three. Hell, even going back to NBA Jam, how many people did you ever see take a shot that wasn't a three or dunk.
I'm guessing the same can be said for a lot of football analytics. How many of us in NCAA football or Madden basically went for it on fourth unless it was 4th and long and/or failing guaranteed the other team points?
I guess it's a lot easier to experiment and figure out the optimal strategy when you don't have to worry about losing your job while you figure it out.
