3 point shot rule

Anyone here that the NBA, not quite this year but in future years, may change the 3 point rule? I guess they want to make it only available for the last 5 mins of each half or something like that. Steve Kerr is behind it because he believes it would make the game more honest and not create more potential for missed shots. What do you guys think?

I have never heard anything of the sort. What source did you hear this from? That sound a little far fetched to have the scoring change at a certian time point in the game. Any links to something about this?

here's the story i read on yahoo sports:

NEW YORK (AP) -- The NBA has no plans to change its rules for the 3-point shot, though it will proceed with an experiment for its developmental league in which all field goals will be worth 2 points until the final five minutes of regulation and overtime.

``This is a not a rule for consideration in the NBA and has never been discussed by the competition committee,'' NBA vice president Stu Jackson said Thursday, adding he expects the minor league NBDL to approve the experiment for the season that begins Nov. 19.

It would be the first time in the NBDL's four-year history that an experimental rules change would be instituted.

``We have a minor league that has proven successful in being a training ground for players, coaches and future administrative staffs, but until now we haven't utilized it as a potential laboratory for the game in general,'' Jackson said.

Jackson said data would be reviewed after the NBDL season to assess what impact the rule had on mid-range jumpers, offensive coaching strategies and overall field-goal percentages.

The NBA has had a 3-point shot for baskets made from beyond 23 feet, nine inches (22 feet in the corners) since the 1979-80 season, and the number of attempts has steadily risen over the course of the quarter-century in which the rule has been in effect.

``If you look at the game overall, including the collegiate and high school level since the inception of the 3-point shot, it's being taken with an increasing amount of frequency, which in part has driven shooting percentages south,'' Jackson said. ``The 3 has become a real focal point of offenses, and we would like to turn the clock back and see what the game is like without it and the effect it has.''

No rules changes will be in effect for the upcoming NBA season, Jackson said, although referees have been instructed to call fouls on defenders who extend their forearms to impede the progress of offensive players.

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

Did I mention I think it's dumb?

If you don't want three-point shots then just eliminate them. Otherwise, don't make stupid BS rules like this.

And sometimes I actually wonder why I love college basketball but dislike the NBA.

I don't like it. I love watching players dunk, but I also love watching players knock down the three. A good three point shooter will bring the defense out of a boring zone. I hope they don't make it a college rule!

i think it seriously diminishes the chances of dramatic and exciting comebacks as well as encourages boring clock milking once you work up a large lead. i'm really against it. i'd rather see them implement a behind half court 5 point shot!

While we're at it, let's eliminate all shots. All you can do is dunk. No defense either, blocked shots are considered a foul, and a steal will get you ejected from the game.

Ah yes, the NBA is slowly dying if the three pointer is taken out. Maybe they'll eliminate the use of sport drinks on the sidelines next. Jeez!

testing 3 poit

I think they are testing it for institution into the NBA but have no immediate plans of bringing it to the NBA. I do not see how this rule makes anysense at all and can only see it failing on any level. It is the first time though I think that the NBA has tested a rule change in the NBDL before bringing it to the NBA to see how it works in games.

NBA already has the no defense clause.

Your 1/5th of the way there!

This is a horrible idea. It eliminates the chance of a big comeback. If this rule is implemented, I will never watch another NBA game again.

This is a drastic change, and I don't think it's a good idea at all.

It would change the game so much, and would also limit the value of pure shooters, and late game comebacks that start before 5 minutes left. I think it would also affect the mentality of players late in the game.. If they know all shots are only worth 2, they are more likely to figure that the game is out of reach, and thus won't try to win, figuring it's numerically impossible.

I'm surprised this even made it past the drawing board, and was implemented for testing in the NBDL. I guess the league is trying to bring back some "old school" aspects, but this is a very bad idea IMO.

It would also greatly change the roster and players on the roster drastically.

I doubt this will get implemented, however the CBA is coming up, and changes are often implemented then, so I guess there is a possibility this change is made.. However, I think it's a very bad idea initially.

I don't like that change. It could lead to players not trying as hard during the first part of halves because they know they can shoot 3's later.

I think the 3 has helped spread the floor and improve the game. They need to encourage shooters. Move the line in - half way to the college line.

It is definately a poor idea and one that I just can't see coming to fruition ever. I mean, it is clear that the FG% in the NBA has died especially with the growing reliance on the 3 point shots. But this doesn't seem like a way to address that.

How about 4 pointers from quarter court and 5 pointers beyond half court!

Or hotspots, like they used to have in NBA JAM tournament edition on SNES

I have a better idea. How about 1 point for a dunk.

Nobody in ther NBA can shoot anymore cause everybody including the cheerleaders can dunk. Bring the skill back to the game. Hell, Bill Russell and Wilt could have dunked every time but that wasn't the game back in the day.

All you have to do is use the rim or backboard and it counts as a 2, but a straight dunk would be 1. It would force Shaq to use some skill after running people over on the way to the basket.
