There is no doubt that there is nothing more important than scoring the basket and finding a way to get the ball through the hoop. Of course, during the earlier days of the sport, the focus was on getting the ball as close to the basket as possible because there was no difference between scoring a ball within 10 feet of the basket as opposed to scoring it from beyond 25 feet. Bigger players always had the advantage in basketball because it was much easier for them to score close to the basket whenever the ball got to them close to the rim. In the olden days of basketball, guards did not have the same kind of advantage that the guards of today have because there was no three-point line to take advantage of. That was why the best players during the 1960s and 70s were always the bigger ones. But because the game has seen a huge evolution due to the importance and efficiency of the three-point line, the way that the sport is now being played is different from how it was played decades ago. Guards today, of course, now have their own fair share of advantages because they can shoot from beyond the three-point line. And due to the fact that the floor is now spaced even better due to the abundance of shooters, guards can now get to the basket without fearing a big man blocking their shot.
