This chart shows the evolution of NBA 3-point shooting. This chart shows how far 3-point shooting has spiked. The specific time it spiked at first was 1/1/16. I would assume this is partially because of the Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry. The Golden State Warriors had the greatest record in NBA history this year. They also had 2 of the top 5 greatest 3-point shooters ever. This shorter term trend spikes up and down every couple of months since 2016. 3-point shooting has increased greatly since 2010. This relates to my topic because I am trying to figure out how far NBA positions have come and how deciding NBA positon affects your long term success.

The NBA center position has developed throughout the years. This graph shows the increase in popularity over time. Centers who are solid 3-point shooters are dominating the league nowadays. A example of this is Victor Wembanyama. Victor is a sophomore in the NBA, he is the tallest player in the NBA and a amazing 3-point shooter. As you can see the chart is peaked at its highest right now. The long term trend is how the position is slowly going upward. There is a pattern where it spikes up slightly higher than before, then drops, then spikes higher than before. This is related to my topic because I am trying to figure out the evolution and skills of NBA positions.
