I was at the local stadium Friday night watching the men's district league game and they had under 16 boys playing an exhibition game during timeout breaks and half time. I noticed literally all of these kids were dribbling down the court, making a few dribble moves and pulling up from range. Complete contrasted difference from the men's game who when they weren't passing the ball around for open looks they were looking to drive in or post up.

Players like Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving evolving the way the game is played. In 15 years time the whole NBA league will be filled with dribblers and shooters revolving around 3 point line (it's already showing signs of heading in that direction with plenty of teams adopting the jump shot strategy. I think the post up game will be completely gone by then and even slashing to the rim will be a thing of the 90s/2000s

Eventually baskets within the 3 pt line will be worth 0 points.
