Do you think that basketball...has been solved?

Pundits would claim that "the game is simple"...just follow the fundamentals, and winning will transpire. Additionally, NBA analysts believe we have hit a plateau, and that easy advantages (such as 3 vs. 2) are no longer to be found.

Is this the end of strategic evolution..? Are there no more hoops secrets to be found, and all that matters now is player development?

In this video, we discuss the science of how minor adjustments can lead to disproportionately large differences in outcomes...the chaos theory of basketball. Where there is chaos, there is inefficiency, so I also wanted to touch on what I believe to be the biggest inefficiency in basketball.
