Do you also view any over-hand shot as modern and flashy? That fundamental underhand shot though.
You say......WHAT?

It's interesting that you call the era when dunking was banned the Bill Walton era, when it is generally agreed that dunking was banned because of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
And it's a modern day phenomenon right along with color television.

Wasn't it the year right after Walton was like 21 for 22 in the NCAA finals that they banned dunking the next year?

There were other players around if I'm not mistaken.
Dunking was banned in the NCAA from 1967 to 1976.[3][4] Many people have attributed this to the dominance of the then-college phenomenon Lew Alcindor (now known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar);[5] the no-dunking rule is sometimes referred to as the "Lew Alcindor rule."[6][7] Many others have also attributed the ban as having racial motivations, as at the time most of the prominent dunkers in college basketball were African-American, and the ban took place less than a year after a Texas Western team with an all-black starting lineup beat an all-white Kentucky team to win the national championship.[8] Under head coach Guy Lewis, Houston (with Elvin Hayes) made considerable use of the "stuff" shot on their way to the Final Four in 1967.[9]

The Jazz have the most dunks at 9.1% of their shots being dunks.
They are #2 in corner 3 attempts at 19.3% of shots.
They are #12 in layups at 28.8% of shots.
In total our 0-3 ft shots are 31.6% of our shots and we make 67.9% of them.
39.8% of our shots are 3pt shots and we make 35.1% of them.
6.5% of our shots are 16-3pt shots, 7.3% are 10-16 ft shots, and 14.8% of our shots are 3-10 ft shots. Our FG% on those are between 35% and 41.5%, so not so efficient, so it's good we don't shoot many of them.
Gobert is #1 in the league with 260 dunks, and Favors is #12 with 129 iirc.
Pick n dive baby!

I love my Jazz, but I got to call out when someone loses their mind and is boasting about being the #2 team for most 3 point shot attempts from the corner. It's all irrelevant if your not leading the league in 3 pt corner makes.
And 0-3 ft shots falling at 67.9%. They should because their ZERO - 3 FEET AWAY FROM THE BASKET. I would think our FG% would be high as would any teams 0-3 ft field goal percentage. Your extracting many gallons of lemonade and you were only given one lemon.

You should’ve said the Lew Alcindor era as it was outlawed because of him.

You misspelled Joe Ingles
Did I add any commentary that would show I lost my mind?
I posted facts that show they are taking the right shots for the most part. They still need to be more efficient to be elite, but being top in the league or close in the number of makes does tell us something.
You are the one handing out lemons.
Their 0-3 ft fg% is not top in the league but I believe it is close iirc.
I don’t feel bad for pointing out a few positives rather than focusing on the negatives.
