It's kind of amusing that this is even a talking point or that they had to try to address this at all.

MODERATORS
It is amusing they care so much but when you have star players like KD not taking these shots because of their stats I can see the league caring enough to change it.
There’s probably others that don’t care but the only one I can think of I see consistently taking them is Jokic and he kinda killed his 3% a bit. Although he did hit 1 or 2 insane ones last season.
I get it but I don't know if it's fair. It still counts when it goes in
I don't think a heave is ever going to be a game deciding shot though really, so I don't think it matters much. I see it as being purely better for spectators and players - players don't worry about harming their stats, and spectators get the chance to watch a full court heave go in.
