Raymond Felton praises Golden State Warriors' play style and three-point shooting

Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry have transformed basketball with their playing style and focus on three-point shooting. Beyond their matches and titles, their effect on the game extends well beyond wins and defeats. In a recent podcast interview, former NBA player Raymond Felton complimented the Golden State Warriors effect, recognizing their role in modifying the basketball environment.

Raymond Felton spoke on the progression of the game, highlighting the tremendous transition from conventional post-play to the Warriors' perimeter-oriented offence.

He credited the new age of basketball, which is distinguished by an exceptional focus on outside shooting and floor spacing, to the Golden State Warriors, adding, "They changed the game of basketball." When I initially started, it was a five-on-five situation with players like Dwight Howard, Shaq, and others attempting to score in the post. They were sending the ball into the post of these men, and these dudes were heading to work. Z-Bo, all of them.

According to PINKVILLA, Raymond Felton further stated, “If you fast forward a couple, a few years later, they come in. And the stuff they were doing, shooting the threes and now they got big men shooting threes and now the whole game changed. Now nobody wants to post up bigs. Now they want dudes to shoot threes.”

Golden State Warriors won the series as well as became the NBA champion

During Game 4 of the second-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Golden State Warriors adjusted their strategy. As a result, despite being named to his sixth All-Defensive team, Allen only played 16 minutes, a significant decline from his previous three-game average of 36 minutes.

However, due to this change, the Golden State Warriors won the series as well as became the NBA champion and established their mark. Notably, Adams supported the Bogut-on-Allen strategy to coach Steve Kerr way to Memphis following Game 2, when the Warriors' normally flowing offence stuttered. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson shot a combined 3 for 17 from three-point shooting in the 97-90 loss.
