Although the three-point line was added uniformly to NCAA basketball for the 1986-1987 season, it had been used on a part-time basis in prior years.  The Southern Conference introduced it for conference games and some select non-conference games during the 1980-1981 season.  Other conferences also experimented with using the three-point basket, including the Big West Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference during the early 1980s.

A couple of season ago, the NBA played around with the idea of reducing the three point arc.  During the season, players who didn't normally take threes were taking them.  \n\nThe following season, the reverted back to the old distance.  \n\nPersonally, I found it a bit too far when I tried to shoot in an NBA regulation court.  But since the distance is the same from the corners, I had no problem knocking those down from there.\n\nHope this was helpful.

Raja Bell is more excitement. Don't you forget he shot seven three point shooter in game 4 against LAC??

Nobody.  The 3-pt shot didn't exist in the NBA until the 1980 season, and Fred Brown shot .4432 that year.

The Big O had 1896 pts that season, plus 633 assists.  Sorry, but Wilt the Stilt had more assists that year, with 702.  Hell, Lenny Wilkens had more assists too, with 679 that year, AND he's a guard as well!  And... THREE guards had more points than Oscar that season... Dave Bing, Earl Monroe, and Hal Greer.

No, he's being realistic. The dunk and the three point shot have taken all the fundamentals out of the game.  \n\nWith the exceptions of teams like the Detroit Pistons in the pro's, it's a game about feeding your best two dominant players and then putting up clock management as defense. 25 years ago, these were special plays that you saved in your bag of tricks.\n\nWhen you can defend their best player and score off the transition at will, only then should you dunk or rainbow. Until then, learn how to defend the lane.

Mike James. When i watched him in Toronto he had has bad games then he would have his amazing games where he would be like 5/6 for 3's. He is one of the best 3-point shooters in the league as well.

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

In the NBA the 3-point line is furthest away at the top of the key where it is 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the basket. The shortest distance is near the baseline on either side where it is exactly 22 feet away from the center of the basket :)

Wellll, I can tell you how to figure the exact percentage of free-throws made.  For Karl, just divide 474 by 621 to arrive at 76.33%.  Meaning that 76.33% of the time, Karl made his free-throws.  As a fraction, this is closest to 3/4.  If you divide 3 by 4, you'll arrive at 75.00%.  So, Karl made slightly more than 3 out of every 4 attempts at free-throws.\n\nLikewise, for John, divide 237 by 287 to arrive at 82.58%.  So, 82.58% of the time John made his free-throws.  As a fraction, this is closest to 4/5.  If you divide 4 by 5, you'll arrive at 80.00%.  So, John made just over 4 out of every 5 attempts at free-throws.\n\nYou could also say that Karl made under 4 out of 5 throws and John made over 4 out of 5 throws.\n\nAnd, since John's "made" percentage is higher, he is the better free-throw shooter.

C'est en 1981 que la NBA décide d'introduire la ligne à 3 points afin de rendre le jeu plus spectaculaire en élargissant le périmètre défensif. La règle sera adoptée en Europe en 1984.
