I saw this question on Twitter and it was interesting reading the replies.
NBA basketball went from a traditional style of play, to the stretch four, to the 3-point shot becoming the most dominant aspect of basketball right now.
Big men and players that never were shooters, or never required to be great shooters, are now asked to adapt to "today's" game and develop their range.
Personally, I think LeBron might've changed the game drastically -- he always need shooters around him to exploit defenses. As soon as his teams started to play small, playing four shooters, teams started to adjust defensively. Stretch fours became the centres. Bosh went from being one of the best power forwards, to a stretch centre with LeBron.
What do you all think? Did Steph Curry himself drastically change the game today?
