As a GM, I'd say the mid-range hasn't disappeared; it's been economized. We prioritize the math—threes and layups are simply more efficient for most players. But I still value a star who can sink that tough, contested *do-baazi* shot when the playoff clock is dying, because not every game can be solved with a spreadsheet.
It reminds me of watching the sun rise here—the modern game paints in broad, efficient strokes of light across the whole valley, but the real beauty, the quiet victory, is often in that specific, stubborn patch of warmth that finds its way through the deodars when you need it most.
