The @NBA will evolve to have only three types of shots, that players will specialize in:
- 3-pointers by shooters
- Dunks/lays-ups by slashers
- Fade-aways by superstars
Everything else will be discouraged by the moneyballer statisticians.
mildly evolving hot take— sports will be dramatically less interesting to watch going forward. recently caught a bruins game where they essentially halted offensive play in the 2nd and 3rd periods because it was obvious the other team had no depth. 30 minutes of worthless hockey

I find NBA basketball more exciting than ever actually. Dunks are more NBA JAM-esque, 3-point shooting is improved, & less hack-a-Shaq of big men which slows the game. 140 point games are common now.
They just need to call travels more by some of those step-backs & Euro steps. -
