Nice

Looks like the three point line is at college distance.
Way cool old school basketball with defined sections..
And the uniforms remind me of some college team he used to play for.

I don’t think a single one touched the rim. Of course, it looks like his last 3 only tied the game, and I fear his time might have lost despite his effort.

Apparently despite his 34 pts, they still lost by 2 (83-81)

Speaking of the Three Point College Line

I think the minor change has been a big success. I don’t know how the three point shot statistics are holding up from the new distance, but I have not noticed any particular drop off in excitement, or generally speaking, in the amount of three’s taken.
It was too close before. It devalued the inside game by being so close.
I think it should stay where it is now for a while.

As you can see, three point % is down, as is the three pointer’s percentage of total shots taken – but not by much. I agree though, the court does feel a bit more open.
