We can all agree that the league has become more competitive with every player trying to make a mark on how the game is being played. Stephen Curry for example has influenced the game to make more attempts and play with flashiness. Scottie Pippen made a crazy admission during a summer league game comparing to how the league was when he played.

“I would yes, I think watching these players, the stamina, the pace of the game. This is a tough game to keep up with the pace and you gotta be able to make shots. If you’re not making shots you’re going to be sitting over there with the coach. So, I think this is a tougher era to be successful in cause you need to be able to shoot the basketball. The guys that shoot the basketball from range are much more valuable.”
