As all great things do, basketball is evolving and the general approach to the game is drastically changed from what we’ve always been told. Up until the last two decades, the smartest shots were always closer to the basket because of the higher probability that they’d connect. This is how power forward LaMarcus Aldridge made a name for himself—playing close to the rim with an exceptional post-game and on jump shots from within the three-point line.
Times have changed and the mid-range is a lost art, although the San Antonio Spurs refuse to let such shots go.
