I agree with all of that. My main thing is, though, some of these players are acting as if they have to learn to play basketball all over again. Obviously there was no reason to change it, but I really doubt the adjustments will be that huge in the long run. Personally, I think Shaq's just looking for excuses to make when the Heat fail to repeat.
My three-pointer comment was based on a comment Wade made where he said "rebounds will go up in the league, because there will be a lot of bricks thrown up". Plus, I wanted to put over my three-point shooting prowess.
