Evolution of 3-Pointers in NBA

The Motive and Dataset

  • How the game of basketball played is totally changed today compared to the 70s basketball

  • To analyze that change in the light of 3-point attempts and points

  • Games played in NBA through 2003-2021 seasons are used

Insights

  • Both 3-pointers attempted and made per game has increased through seasons

  • In the last 20 years, the number of 3-pointers shot per game has increased 2–3 times.

  • Not only the number of 3-pointers attempted and made increased but also the share of them in the total shots increases

  • In the beginning of 2000s, nearly 1 of 5 shots was a 3-pointer. However, for the current seasons this ratio is almost doubled meaning that for 5 shots attempted, 2 of them are 3-pointers

  • Free throw points share among all points in 2000s was around 20%

  • Especially after the end of 2000s the share of 3-pointers have dramatically increased, and 2-pointers have decreased

  • For the current seasons, the 2-pointers contribute to nearly half of all points while 3-pointers contribute to 35%

  • These shares were around 65% and 15% in the beginning of 2000s for the 2-pointers and 3-pointers respectively

  • When the 2000s analyzed, centers were playing close to the basket and rarely taking 3-pointers.

  • The percentage of the 3-pointers attempts among all the shots for all positions has increased significantly. This trend can be seen below

  • In the last years, the Splash Brothers has shown us the importance of the 3-pointers with 4 championship rings.

  • The graph below shows that how they are good at making 3-point shots. In the x-axis the number of 3-pointers attempted per game, and in the y axis the success rate for the 3-pointers can be seen.

  • For different seasons, we can see Steph on the upper right of the graph and can see Klay in the upper middle meaning that they are among the top 3-pointer shooters of the league.

  • After analyzing the after timeout plays at the team level, it makes sense to analyze them at the player level
