ESPN writer says NBA 3 pt line would have to be pushed back 2 ft to being back midrange and postups

[Professor K.]

If baseball and football can update their rules for the times, why can't basketball?

There's No reason to push the 3 point line back tho!!!

interesting read

I would like to see it im 3pt dhot out...bring the midrange and post game back mix it with fast break 3s and tougher more physical defense

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Or they can just start putting together teams that utilize the mid range game more often.

Analytics killed that. Talking heads and coaches on that 3 points is greater than 2 no matter what

 

[Crack Daniels]

The corner 3 absolutely should be fixed. This idea of having an evolving 3pt line tho...no thanks

 

[Mannish]

We actually need a 4 point line

Steph range

Line should be about 30ft out

Both of these combined is the answer; abolish the current 3 point line, add a 4-point line from Steph/Dame distance...

 

[Auger]

Make the paint area a little more narrow so you can defend the post without being called for 3 in the key

 

[Stick Up Kid]

leave it the fukk alone!!!

Nope, every game has become a 3 point shooting contest. no movement, no post ups, no drives to the basket, no ball movement..

Ratings are down 30%..

they need to fix this shyt.

 

[Armchair Militant]

Take the corner 3 away

I say remove the zone and move it back

The league doesn't want jail ball back.

They know fans love points.

Dame just shot a game winner from half court and y’all think moving the line back will fix this “problem”.

What happens when players adjust to the new line and start chucking like they’re doing now? Move it to half court?

 

[theGoldmangod]

Didn't read all that. Move the 3 point line out and allow hand checking on screens above the 3 point line.

Teams will still shoot 3s but it will only be the players that are actually skilled at it doing it one on one. With everyone else it'll be off open looks created in an offense.
