Are there similar optimizations available for basketball? Shoes can only do so much.
- no_wizard 1y agoNot really, due to how the game is designed. I don’t know all the ins and outs of the sport but the way is played leaves little room comparatively for artificial optimization
- capital_guy 1y agoFor professional basketball, the statistical advantage of 3-point has completely warped the game. There are a lot of articles online about it
- TheCleric 1y agoYeah there’s a pretty clear distinction between the NBA (and even college somewhat) from before Steph Curry and after. It’s been as revolutionary as the addition of the line in the first place and the shot clock.
- thefringthing 1y agoMy understanding is that the whole history of basketball is explained by the fact that they won't make the court bigger and the nets higher to account for the fact that the players are seven feet tall now.
