I have to bring hand-check up here again as a routine for this type of conversation. Now offensive players with the ball have more chances to face the basket and launching the shot just a more efficient option. Even the best guards in NBA were forced to protect the ball with their back outside 3-point line. GP was very fast and had top tier quickness (there are plenty of his clips on youtube). His back faced the basket a lot. If a player had to turn around first to face the basket, 3-pointers are less the best options.
Just try to provide another opinion on this. And I know there are endless conversations regarding this under many youtube clips.
It's all about what are allowed for the defenders to best contain the offensive space and what offensive players' best option is in this case.
