Can the Milwaukee Bucks challenge the Celtics & Is there really a three-point problem?

Justin Turpin joins WEEI's Jones and Keefe to break down the current landscape of the NBA. Is the league still exciting for viewers? With teams leaving open three-pointers so seven-footers can camp in the paint and block shots, it raises an interesting question: could three-point dunks be the future? Turp thinks they’d be cool, but argues that the real change could be eliminating the corner three. Jones compares the NBA’s current debates to issues the MLB faced years ago. What do the ratings reveal about the NBA's popularity, and are they reliable? Keefe believes a big reason for the league’s struggles is that many of its biggest stars, like Giannis, aren't American, which makes them harder for fans to connect with.
