The NBA style of basketball has often gone through different evolutions and transformations throughout its history. From its earliest days when big men ruled the paint in a fast-paced style that did not have a three-point line, NBA basketball transformed into a more structured defensive style of play in the ‘70s. Then, during the ‘80s and ‘90s, the game became more physical as teams relied more on a grind-it-out style that involved a lot of one-on-one, man-to-man defense.
During the 2000s, we saw teams relying more on superstars, as names such as Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, and Dwyane Wade emerged as players you could give the ball to if you wanted your team to get buckets. This steadily transitioned into a different style of play over the next decade as franchises began to create super teams with three or more All-Stars.
Though there are still super teams in today’s era, the style has become more reliant on overall team play instead of just putting the ball in the hands of the team’s three All-Stars. We saw the Golden State Warriors playing that way since they won the NBA title in 2015. Though they had many stars on their team, they relied more on spacing and ball movement to win games. This led to the current pace-and-space era, where teams rely more on increasing the game’s tempo while spacing the floor with four or more shooters.
