how long is an nba 3 point shot?

In the NBA, the arc is 23 feet, 9 inches (7.24 m) from the basket, but near the sidelines, three-point line is straight and parallel to the sideline in order to allow room between the three-point line and the sideline. Hence, the distance varies near the sidelines; it is 22 feet (6.72 m) at its closest point in the corner.

The free throw line is 15 feet from the plane of the backboard. From the direct center of the hoop the line would be 13 feet 9 inches. These are stats from NBA.com

as it gets closer and closer to the end of the game... both teams keep calling timeouts.. which makes it longer\nthere are also many free throws during the game.. during which the clock is stopped..

It is a difficult question. Kobe certainly relies on the jump shot for more of his points, but I don't think that Jordan scored the majority of his points within 15 feet of the rim like you say. Both these players are masters of the pull up jump shot, and both are not very good three point shooters (around 37% on average). I would have to give Michael Jordan the edge due to the fact that he had better shot selection than Kobe shows now and an overall better field goal percentage, which is a key aspect of whether a person is a good shooter.

I'm a basketball player myself and I know that the 3 point shot is the hardest to make. What I did to consistently hit the rim on 3s, was slowly shoot farther away from the foul line. Once I developed strength and the ability to shoot further away from the basket, I just practiced my 3s. A 3 pointer is almost like a foul shot except that you're jumping and that it's a longer shot. \n\nIt's like a foul shot because you have to keep your form and it's all about muscle memory. If you keep shooting free throws, you'll be almost automatic. Here's a drill I do at the foul line to improve. I do best out of 10 sessions. I would shoot 10 free throws and see how many I make. Then, I'd start over again. I probably shoot 100 free throws when I go out and practice. See, it has made  me become a FT shooter and that has helped me with my 3s too. Because once you're used to shooting FTs, you can apply the same drill to the 3 pointer. I hope this helps, but here's a website that talks about shooting a basketball in general:\nhttp://www.mcpasd.k12.wi.us/~kms/webfolder01_02/webwj13335/index.htm

If you have your midrange game down, you're on the right path.  Just step back a few feet and practice, practice, practice.  I became a much better shooter after my school's basketball team set a personal goal one summer.  If we shot 20,000 shots over the summer, we got a T-shirt saying we did.  Although you won't get a T-shirt, you'll be on the team as a 3 point shooter and you'll feel very confident about your shooting ability.

Official 60 minutes because they have three 20 minute periods but with stoppage, breaks it will take about two hours and a half to three hours and that's without Over-time, Shoot-outs, that's another 30 minutes

It is when a defensive player stays in the paint not guarding a person for more than 3 seconds. It results in a technical foul and a free throw awarded to the other team. Here's the actual rule from the NBA rules website.\n\nSection VII—Defensive Three-\nSecond Rule\na. The count starts when the offensive\nteam is in control of the ball in the\nfrontcourt.\nb. Any defensive player, who is\npositioned in the 16-foot lane or the\narea extending 4 feet past the lane\nendline, must be actively guarding an\nopponent within three seconds.Actively\nguarding means being within arms\nlength of an offensive player and in a\nguarding position.\nc. Any defensive player may play any\noffensive player.The defenders may\ndouble-team any player.\nd. The defensive three-second count is\nsuspended when: (1) a player is in the\nact of shooting, (2) there is a loss of\nteam control, (3) the defender is actively\nguarding an opponent, (4) the defender\ncompletely clears the 16-foot lane or\n(5) it is imminent the defender will\nbecome legal.\ne. If the defender is guarding the player\nwith the ball, he may be located in the\n16-foot lane.This defender is not\nrequired to be in an actively\nguarding/arms distance position. If\nanother defender actively guards the\nplayer with the ball, the original\ndefender must actively guard an\nopponent or exit the 16-foot lane. Once\nthe offensive player passes the ball, the\ndefender must actively guard an\nopponent or exit the 16-foot lane.\nPENALTY:A technical foul shall be\nassessed.The offensive team retains\npossession on the sideline at the free\nthrow line extended nearest the point\nof interruption.The shot clock shall\nremain the same as when play was\ninterrupted or reset to 14 seconds,\nwhichever is greater.\nIf a violation is whistled during a\nsuccessful field goal attempt, the\nviolation shall be ignored and play shall\nresume as after any successful basket.

According to basketball.com's listing of NBA records, Brent Price (Washington) hit 13 in a row from 1/15/96 to 1/19/96; Terry Mills (Detroit) also hit 13 in a row from 12/4/96 to 12/7/96.  Don't see anything about most consecutive 3 pointers hit in one single game.

Everybody feels good after they make a shot right?\nOne way to help build your confidence in shooting is to start shooting no more than 3 feet away from the basket, shoot about 10 shots to help build on your confidence, then gradually move back until your very confident in your shot. If you start shooting 3-pointers and miss a couple your confidence level goes down but if your close to the goal and make those consecutive shots your confidence will increase.

Beverly - they play 3 periods, unless there's a tie.  If the game is tied after 3 periods, they play one 10 minute overtime period.  If it's still tied after the overtime, there will be a shoot out (5 players from each team will be selected).  \n\nIf still tied, each team will select a player that has not participated in the shootout and they will have an opportunity.  A single player from each team will participate in the shootout until a player from one team scores and the corresponding player from the other team does not.

Well, they are usually 2 and a half hours long, but the actual game time is way less than that. They have commercials and when calls are made, time isn't taken off the clock, such as fouls. I think the actual time for all 4 quarters is 48 minutes, 12 each. But in halftime, it takes a while too, so it all adds up to around 2 and a half hours long. And foul shots don't take time off the clock either.
