The NBA will be revamped after this year's Olympics. Focusing on primary basketball skills. Less focus on dunking or going inside. What ever happened to the other skills like being able to shoot from the foul line or making a 3-point shot?

The oldschool players had these rudimentary skills down pat. They could play from the inside and the outside. The US has gotten too bogged down in going to the basket. 3-point shooting is why the Lithuanian team won. They sucked at going inside but that didn't matter. They can shoot and make freethrows too.

If the US couches focus on these other basic skills, the US team will slaughter as they always did and it wouldn't matter who form the NBA they sent.
