The goal is to make the word so common and normalize it to such a degree that the mere mention instantly causes the act itself to occur, kind of like a manchurian candidate or police dog.

You're right leokitty, I was confusing Crion with a more reasonable version of mornacale.

So you just completely miss his point, make up your own to make him look bad, and dare to question his ability to be reasonable? What is your endgame here? You want to look silly?

People like to feel outraged. Its why they script 'reality' shows to begin with, so that people can hear other people say outrageous things and feel righteously indignant. They aren't catering to the very few people who think screaming at a 9yr old to rip off a kids head is appropriate behavior, they're catering to the people who think its terrible.

They do cut in a way that brings out the maximum amount "controversy' for lack of a better word, but no they don't try to cater to that group, as its not sustainable and could result in horrible backlash.

I'm not sure why it's a controversial statement to say that college basketball players care more. For a huge percentage of them, it is the last bit of Basketball they will ever play, so of course it means a bit more.

It's not knocking the commitment of NBA players to say that, either. They care too. It's not a mutually exclusive thing.

When people bring up who cares more it's always for condemnations sake, otherwise there is no real point in doing it.

Maybe ineffectual is the wrong word if you want to argue semantics, but I think that the conclusion is pretty apparent that whether there is a three point line or not wouldn't change the frequency of longer range shots, the frequency with which those shots are made, or which teams are better than the others. That says nothing of the fact that as long as there is a three point line, you're dumb to ignore the benefits of talking advantage of it.

It sounds like you mean the exact opposite of ineffectual. Which is not semantics at all.

If it's arguably harder to defend the further from the basket (blocks by distance from the rim is used in the video, which doesn't tell the whole story, but isn't negligible), and shots from 2 feet, and 26 feet have roughly the same chance of going in, how would there being no three point line drastically alter the spacing on the floor? Teams are still going to shoot from outside when they know they can make it, they're not going to bunch themselves in all the much tighter to the rim and make it harder on themselves to move the ball. It doesn't seem like a stretch to think the game would've evolved similarly regardless as players got bigger and harder to beat in close defensively while also getting better at shooting from distance. Seems more that the 3 point line was a catalyst as opposed to the outright cause.

e: I think the real interesting thing though, is that evolution would've taken likely a good amount of time longer had there never been a three point line, so all of that data about shot distances, wouldn't be nearly as complete. Teams would've gradually expanded the range of the floor rather than just jumping to a perimeter-or-in-close shot selection over the matter of a few years


focusing on the definition of a misused word in place of the larger point is exactly what a semantics argument is so please join the convo or don't try to son me tia

You larger point completely changes depending on what word you mean.

I am joining the convo, be better at English so I can actually argue with you.

Because at this point I don't actually think you know what your arguing.

ESPN has a long history of basically bending its knees to anyone will complain loudly enough about it, right or wrong.

And if you'll remember Max Bretos, who has a Chinese wife and thus half-Chinese kids, getting suspended for a month for saying that Jeremy Lin had a "chink in his armor", sometimes nobody even has to complain.

Man I forgot they actually printed that, Jesus Max and his editor should have been suspended.
