It seems like every 10 or 15 years the NBA’s style of play changes drastically. For the past 8 or 9 years we’ve been in the “3pt revolution”, the late 2000s and early 2010s introduced some pace and space—at least relative to the “deadball era” before that—and so on and so forth.

What do you see as the next big shift in the NBA game? Is it the blistering speed of the Pacers, the switchable, domineering athletes of the Magic, or the positionless, omnidirectional playmaking on the Thunder? Do you think the change will come via team (Nash’s Suns bringing pace to the game in the 2000s, Jordan’s Bulls moving the ball more in the 90’s, etc) or will it be a singular player, ie Steph?

Thanks for the work you do for NBA crackheads like us! I know this is a tough question but I hope I made it clear enough.
