The NBA game has undergone significant changes since its inception in 1946, and these changes have helped to shape the league into the exciting and dynamic sport that it is today. From the early days of George Mikan to the current era of Steph Curry, the NBA game has evolved in a number of ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most significant changes in the NBA game has been the rise of the three-point shot. While the three-point shot was introduced in the ABA in the 1960s, it wasn’t until the 1980s and 1990s that it became a significant part of the NBA game. Players like Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, and Steve Kerr helped to popularize the shot, but it was the Golden State Warriors’ “Splash Brothers” duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson that took the three-point shot to new heights. Curry, in particular, has revolutionized the game with his ability to shoot from long range, often from well beyond the three-point line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
