will there ever be 4 pointers in the nba?

[Ghenghis Kahn]

bird wants them and reggie doesn't... personally as a gambler, i don't want additional variables. can you imagine, you have -5, you're up by 8 and you lose by a meaningless 4 pointer?

thoughts?

I heard beyond the half court line will be 5 points.

well thats false. but the 4pt line is definitely in talks with higher ups.

[TheMoneyShot]

Even if they made a 4 point line.... what would be the true percentage of a shooter making one.... guarded or unguarded? I'll take my chances that he wouldn't make it.

Curry is just out of this world. Will never be another Curry.

Need to have 3.5 pointers since books use hook lines.

hahahaha now that would CHANGE THE GAME my god.

[GoBlue77]

not fair to guys that played prior to that if they did. every record would then be void

[Seto]

Hopefully not.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Warriors would win the next 10 straight titles

Curry and Klay for 4 all day

[Snowball]

I'd like to see them widen and lengthen the court instead.

[Aye J Mac]

They should make it like hockey! Fighting should be allowed

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

And use hammers ball peen hammers
And have them wear those furry boots thigh high

[Skrilla777]

That crazy I can't see that happening. Just talk

agree

if they havent changed boring ass baseball in 50 years they wont change basketball

[Mr KLC]

Game would become an absolute "bomb" fest. Why give the ball to the center for a meager 2 points when you can get double that from far out. No thanks. I'll take it the way it is now.

[Otters27]

Hope so. Adds a whole new type of player. Guys could be 4 points specialists

The NBA started the 3 point shot for the first time in 1979.

Are you saying that previous years players got robbed?

Just make it a Rock n' Jock court. 25 pointer from half court. Sport is already a clown show. When is this garbage over??? August?

A few more days. The ratings are horrible. Most people watch soccer than NBA finals. Last game I watched was game 5 of Spurs/Thunder series.
