Guy asks "why is he shooting 3's?"

In 2026

What am I arguing with :rofl:

And then tells us that the mid range jumper is the worst shot even though embiid has literally won multiple scoring titles with it and is the 4th highest scorer in NBA history. Lawd....


Also tell that to guys like KD who have always feasted with the midrange as well.


Buddy , you tell other people they dont know shit about ball here but arguing C's should shoot 3s and the middle range is a good shot when its the statistical worst shot in the NBA LOL.

Jesus christ you have 0 self awareness. You might actually be this delusional.

Lol mid range shots were never bad shots. That's just a narrative. Good shots are good shots. If the middle is open you take it. If thats a high % shot for elite mid range shooters like Embiid, KD, etc who have super high release points and easily shoot over guys then thats a good shot.

Embiid has been unstoppable from mid for years now. He always displayed good shooting touch early on, but relied more on scoring on the block. Problem was thats easy to double, so he worked on the mid range and became one of the best mid range shooters and most efficient scorers in the league and then became the best scorer in the NBA. But sure, tell us more about how Embiid should look to score genius basketball guru lol

Its not narrative its math. Its literally Points per attempt. Highest ratio is 3pts and near the net + ft. This isnt something you can agrue.

Literally mid range shot is the worst(old school basketball). And C's typically still on a larger scale have the worst 3pt% of all positions. I get its changing and more n more C's shoot 3s, especially if their open but only unicorns are taking 5 6 7 3s a game.

Again, what are you even arguing here? A lot of the leagues best and most efficient scorers rely on the mid range.

Embiid's 3pt % is down in recent seasons but hes still a capable outside shooter who defenses have to respect. You can't just completely leave him. He has been a unicorn 3-level scorer which is what has made him so dominant at his size. Hence the multiple scoring titles...


He could be like your boy Jokic who is 5-for-27 from 3PT in the playoffs. No comment about that though huh 🙄

So your arguing agnst math then. Okay , your such a large narcissistic that your opinion exceed the logic and reasoning of math.

You're an exhausting individual, I feel awful for the people who deal with you on daily basis. Like a women who can never be wrong bout anything or admit it.

SGA (mid range king) would laugh at this as he accepts his second straight MVP award...

Your beloved Jokic, also another HEAVY mid range reliance.

But please do tell the leagues best scorers what they should and shouldn't shoot ole basketball guru. The point of being a 3 level scorer is to be just that. If a guy is only taking threes or driving he becomes predictable and easier to defend. But you wouldn't understand that because you think everyone can just shoot two levels cuz math 🙃

An effective mid range shot is what make good players into great players, especially in the playoffs. As an example, Jokic/Murray helped Denver win their title because they could both bury mid range shots.

If a team is selling out to protect the rim and the three point line, mid range shots suddenly become way more valuable

According to Shitters, this is completely acceptable for 300lb lazy fat fuck to jack up 3s even tho he isnt a 3 pt shooter
