<\/figure>\n

Adam Silver has heard concerns about the volume of three-pointers NBA players are taking and he plans to make change. <\/p>\n

During a Wednesday appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd<\/em><\/a>, the host asked Silver about the phenomenon<\/a> and the commissioner claimed changes are coming to address it. <\/p>\n

“As stewards of the game, Joe Dumars leads our competition committee here, we will tweak it, we will correct those issues,” Silver said. <\/p>\n

He continued, “What do we do to change it? I agree to the extent that you start to see very similar offenses around the league. Teams have brands, teams have identities, Joe Dumars is a colleague now at the league office, the Bad Boys, etc… the Showtime Lakers. So, I recognize that to the extent that offenses start to look very similar, we lose that.”<\/p>\n

He did add that the NBA can’t go too far and overcorrect, which could lead to plodding paint-focused basketball.<\/p>\n

As an example, this season the Boston Celtics are taking a league-high 49.4 three-pointers a game and making only 36.2% of them. They are averaging 90.8 field goals per game, meaning 54.4% of their shots are coming from beyond the arc. <\/p>\n

Many have complained about the flow of games<\/a> due to the rise in three-point attempts. Silver clearly sees it as any issue too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
