    I would assume 30-35 feet.

    Vote and discuss if you wish.

    Yes, Ryan Anderson would now be considered a trade asset.

    I would suggest something like;

    Long enough to be inefficient but it would create some interesting end of quarter, and especially end of game situations.

    This would destroy the game. Not happening. I mean, ever.

    definitely. they also should widen the court by at least a couple of feet so guys dont' keep stepping out of bounds on corner threes, and while they're at it they should lengthen the court under each basket as well for pretty much the same reason. These guys are much bigger overall since the time when Bob Cousy roamed the earth

    Once Antoine Walker was asked why he shoots so many threes, he replied, "Cause there ain't no fours."

    This is stupid, BTW.

    How about instead of a line some strategically placed 4 point circles?!?!?

    Lol

    Feels gimmicky but I also think it be cool if a half court shot counted as four in the last two minutes of a quarter

    I also think they should widen the court so that the 3 point line is the same all around. They will not do it because they will lose seats and $$$ because of it.

    the nba should have points by distance.

    1 point = inside the key
    2 points = outside the key, but under 3 point line
    3 points = current 3pt line, under the 4
    4 points = 2 feet inside half court
    10 points = anything beyond half court

    People against the 4 point line were probably the same people saying 3 point line was gimmick. Or maybe people didn't even know there used to be no 3 point line.

    Make 4 point line like 30 feet.
