Former Rocket Matt Bullard calls Rockets games on TV and makes a weekly hour long appearance on Houston sports radio. When he was winning Championships with the Rockets, said Rockets only had three plays designed to take a three-pointer and said Coach Rudy T would call for it before they attempted.
In the past, foreign players always had the upper hand at 3's due to it being such a part of the European game......today, you have high school kids who attempt more 3's than some NBA pros back in the early 90's. Not only does the league have better shooter, but the overall approach to how the 3 point line is utilized has changed, defenses have not options but to adapt!
Tonight in a home loss to the Detroit Pistons, James Harden became the first player with (33 points / 17 rebounds / 14 assist) since Wilt Chamberlain (53/32/14) on March 18, 1968.
