It's just boring IMO. Run down the court, Chuck up threes, the game just isn't what it was years ago.

When faced with prospects of two different kinds of boring, Goldsberry points out that the NBA could either make its courts several feet wider to at least diminish the statistical make-percentage advantage of those 3's -- but that this would mess up arena seating arrangements -- or could outright allow teams to draw their own 3-point lines like the local variation in baseball and soccer [2] fields.
Basketball requires control of space and pace, but as athleticism has increasingly been optimized, there's just not enough space there to force interesting trade-offs on every play. So it forces less interesting ones.

They do that already. They leave the corner shooter open when the ball is on the other side of the paint in order to clog up the middle. When the offence makes a sequence of passes to find the open guy in the corner then they close out to take away the corner 3.
All the most popular superstars in the past were hyper-athletic guys who consistently got into the paint and made dazzling shots even against stalwart defenders.
Outside shooters have always been role players until the arrival of Steph Curry. Now half the league plays like wannabe Curry and fans are getting tired of watching their teams miss dozens of 3 pointers every game.
