- THE ODD COUPLE: Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington discuss analytics in the NBA as the folks behind the scenes continue to influence players to take way more shots than ever before. While this satisfies nerds, it visually makes the game unappealing to Rob and Kelvin.

Nobody wants to see team’s score about 150 a night, fans actually want to see competitive defense…. The NBA dumbed down the sport to just scoring
The game was more diverse in it's play back in the day because there were specialist in each offensive category. There were back to the basket, mid-range, and 3-point specialist on each team. Basketball was a mirror image of chess; pawns, rooks, horse, etc.. each piece on the team fit together.
Exactly
These nerds found a way to make themselves relevant by using basic math and labeling it "analytics". We know who can play and who can't. I don't need stats to figure that out. There are too many fake stars in the league now who are allowed to carry the ball, travel, foul bait, and take 15 threes a game even though they missed 12 of them because "3 is better than 2" and "Spacing".
*We know who can play and who can't. I don't need stats to figure that out*
Bingo. Your comment is spot on. Also the one thing these nerds and casual fans don't understand is that when it comes to analytics and data, there's this thing called "variables." Kobe Bryant's 3pt attempts are not the same as a Ray Allen 3pt attempts.
The 3pt barrage is fool’s gold! The game has become more copycat than anything else. 3 more than 2, but 2 is more than 0. Look how many teams are now trying to copy the Celtics, just as they were trying to copy the Warriors 🤣🤷🏾♂️
I’ll tune into a game for about 5-10 minutes. And in those 5-10 minutes, they’ll shoot about 15 threes. I don’t know how you fix it.
Get a coach that plays the inside-out game or get a fast break type of coach that preaches get easy transition points instead of difficult three point shots😊
Take the corner 3 out!!!!
😂😂😂you’re not even exaggerating which is sad…I did the same thing just the other day, only watched maybe 8 minutes of the first quarter and saw 1 dunk and a missed layup, everything else was threes. And guess what? The dunk I saw was uncontested because no one was in the lane - defense or offense🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
He’s shooting 45% from 3 he’ll probably take less when he starts missing them
Exactly hes hot
This right here! If he was shooting 33% from 3 I’d say take it inside
BASKETBALL is ruining the nba product. If Basketball was actually entertaining people wouldn't ignore it unil the finals.
The NBA needs to keep its political views to themselves...we just want to watch sports...they should try that
@@francisklome7577you need thicker skin. You can't be that easily triggered by guys having different opinions than you. Be a man.😂
Regular season is irrelevant. Star players don’t play in the regular season. Why even have it? I’ll continue to watch the Finals but that’s it.
That's not true. People watched CC play in a far less entertaining league. It's the way these guys are playing the game that's boring as hell.
Basketball is entertaining lol its who they promote. This isn't hockey
Three pointer is such a valuable shot, team USA with a bunch of HoF almost lost the Olympics if not for Serbia gone cold in the 4Q. People will inevitably take the most efficient way to do things, unfortunately in basketball it’s at the cost of the mid range game. Maybe make the three pointer even further so not just any players can shoot it.
I suggest that the NBA should take away the three point line... And extra point basket should be closer to the half court....
1:38 There is an art to journalism 2:00 I see why Rob feels passionately about everyone having a podcast.
I agree that the question asked to Edwards wasn't good.
His coach told him to shoot more 3's
It’s time to take away the corner 3! It’ll open up more post game and mid range. It’s a no brainer!
Kelvin goes "We didn't say the mouth 😁" it made me chuckle
I think it’s a pretty simple solution and the NBA did it before it’s time to move the three-point line significantly back. Maybe it’s time for 30 ft. Now there’s a bunch of guys who do that already, but at least it would eliminate a bunch of bums who think they can take threes all the time.
We been saying this for over 10 years
You're not a nerd just because you like, trust, or are knowledgeable in data analysis.
A lot of young folks talk sports and only bring up the stats😂the game is more than the stat sheet
@@Dipset415 Agreed
U definitely are when it comes to athletics NERD
Ant is shooting like 43% from three
Move the 3 point line back and we'll see who the shooters really are
Then the game becomes more of a circus 🎪🎪🎪
Yessss. They got to stop it 😫
Like angel Reese practicing 3 point but can’t make layups or have a jump shot but she is a 4/5. Everyone wants to shoot 3’s.
1:12 Mouth of the NBA is crazy yo
No the players don’t play defense and still don’t want to slash when they shooting 0-fer 3 quarters in
The game is still beautiful
People who don’t know the game think players today are “more skilled”. Why? Because they can shoot 3s in a league where defense is obsolete. A lot of these guys lack fundamentals and it’s painfully obvious to ppl who actually know the game. But if you call this out, they label you a “hater” or “old head”😂😂😂
I agree with everything you wrote!
I suggest that the nba should remove the 3 point line.....
The media made the NBA unwatchable. Adam silver allowing player empowerment is what ruined the game. Changing the rules so players can score more points ruined the game. Shooting a bunch of 3s didn't kill the game
Agreed
Here’s the crazy thing, they aren’t scoring more points. They scored way more points in the 80’s.
@mikejones9906 while playing the toughest defense in any era. This era you can look at another player without a tech
I remember I use to carry my sorry ass team because I would bang hella 3’s per game. I’m all for the 3 game. But they need to move the line back further
Don’t blame the nerds! Blame the people who make decisions that don’t know how to understand analystics and how to use them properly (current data analyst)
I agree
Def ruined everything. I stopped watching baseball because of it. Pitchers going 4 innings 5 pitchers in a game. Basketball and all the 3's. It's hard to watch.
Lol these comments got me cracking up 🤣🤣 about nerds, numbers and NBA basketball to shoot the 3...
Fantasy and betting also ruined these leagues.
THATS THE WHOLE LEAGUE SHOʻOT 3S THANKS STEPH CURRY
Why thank Curry when the 3 was established in the 80s? Use ur own brain kid....
I haven't watched basketball in a while Puts's so boring. I'll watch the playoffs only now. Used to watch religiously growing up and in my early adulthood. Even had to watch on WGN 😂😂😂
I agree 💯
No analytics alone has not ruined the nba,, everyone must include the crappy load management practice,,,
math nerds should stay in their lane and just bookkeep.. they shouldn't be making player personnel decisions or influence anything that happens on the court
Too many 3s is ruining the NBA. It's unwatchable in my opinion.
It's easy to blame analytics but I think it is that the NBA wants to cater to casual fans for the sake of business, which means more scoring.
Easy fix.. allow only 30 attempts per game any 3 point attempts after 30 counts as a 2.
That will never happen 😂😂
5:36 wtf was that?
Idc ima Celtics fan and if it works it works we lost to the GSW and came back with their play style🤷🏽♂️
Silver spoon babies are ruining the nba.
Cant listen to this show with that co host GOD DAMN
We all know Morrey got kicked due to his support to Hong Kong
Imo refereeing is ruining the NBA
Sad to say that when I "watch" an NBA game nowadays, it's just background noise. I'll glance at it here and there, but it's just so boring & predictable.
And it sucks cuz it's still the best league and the most talented league in the world, so there is nothing else on a pro level to watch.
Adam Silver is the worst thing to happen to this league.
Just like accountants ruin products, analytics is ruining basketball.
This brand of basketball is HORRIBLE. They just chuck threes. Its legit about whos hot or NOT. Thats why these 20 point leads come and go. Teams get hot,then go in a slump and the other team gets hot😂😂😂 as a suns fans eatching booker chuck more threes than mid range bothers me
The last thing that's ruining the NBA is "analytics". Analytics are a FACT based, OBJECTIVE analysis of ALL the empirical data. If you don't understand that, you're clueless.
And if you can’t understand that analytics are ruining the flow and product of the NBA, you’re clueless.
Analytics is basic math. Per 100 possessions. It's not hard to figure out. Basketball is a sport not a spreadsheet. It's not supposed to be optimized for maximum efficiency. It's about entertainment and competition. Analytic kills some of that. The game obviously suffers because of it.
Another fact is the ratings are down. People don't care to watch.
@@Truthstter
I agree that they’re ruining the watchability of the game, but facts just don't care about your feelings. Anybody with a brain knows that analytics are a calculation towards a higher winning % which should always be the ONLY goal of any NBA team/player. Your entertainment is a non sequitur to anyone who cares about winning.
No you're clueless. Just running up and down the court and shooting 3s is boring for the viewers. Thus why ratings are way, way down.
Maybe yall need to stop mixing politics with sports...it has nothing to do with the 3-point jumper!
It’s not the nerds, it’s the owners who are actually listening to these dudes, even though every former player says it’s a foolish strategy.
So the nerds are pushing the owners for more 3s?
nah its the nerds who now push the video game style to sports.. same as in football throwing every play and going for it every 4th down... same ish different sport
Ive witnessed spectator sports become a hobby increasingly for nerds thoughout my lifetime.
I promise nobody really wants to watch 90’s and 2000’s Basketball
I do 🖐🏽
