NBA stars who never hit a three carry Broadcast Boys
A week after it was posted, the list of non-shooters is bringing in nearly all of the channel's daily views.
Why this story? The video is running at 32,568 views a day, 24 times its usual pace (1,362).
THE GREATEST NBA PLAYERS TO NEVER HIT A 3!! 🏀 #nba #basketball #sports #hoops
"THE GREATEST NBA PLAYERS TO NEVER HIT A 3!!" is a Broadcast Boys video built on a simple, slightly contrarian idea: a ranking of stars remembered for everything except the long-range shot. It went up on September 23 and started slowly. This week it picked up speed, and it is now gaining roughly twenty-four times the daily views it had been drawing.
It also has the channel almost to itself. Broadcast Boys as a whole is running at about half its usual daily pace, and this one video accounts for nearly all of the views coming in. Most of the larger American sports channels around it are also below their normal pace, so the jump is not part of a wider surge.
The topic has some history behind it. The NBA did not add a three-point line until the 1979-80 season, so for the league's first three decades the shot simply did not exist. Among the players who came after, going a whole career without one became its own kind of distinction, and that is the list this video sets out to rank.
