Want proof that things are out of hand?

This from Andrew Joe Potter of "the Score":

A decade ago, the New York Knicks led the league by taking an average of 27.9 3-pointers per game, an all-time watermark for long-range attempts at the time. Today, that rate would rank as the sixth-lowest 3-point output in the NBA.

Need more proof that times have changed? Two NBA records related to 3-point shooting volume fell Wednesday night.

First, the Houston Rockets blew past the single-game record for 3-point attempts, launching 70 in their 145-142 overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The previous mark for long-range attempts from a team in a single game was 61.

I shall keep saying it: basketball is degenerating into a glorified game of HORSE.
