Professor Mike Lewis and Emory student Alex Notis examine the three-point field goal (also 3-pointer) in the NBA. The modern NBA has been transformed by the three point shot. Points are up, turnovers are down and NBA rosters are now built to shoot the three. In this episode, we talk about Alex's project which looks into trends and outcomes related to the 3-point shot. In the second half of the episode, Professor Lewis takes a step back and talks about the concept of expected value.
