Basketball's evolution is a masterclass in incentives. The shift from 2001 to 2020 in the NBA's top shot locations reflects our tendency to optimize what's measurable. We get what we incentivize. Constantly forced to choose the merely measurable rather than the meaningful. #NBA #Incentives #Bitcoin

What incentives mold the games you play?

No its just because those are all the flashy shots

Wow! Strong visual proof! Crazy and radical change.
