Once upon a time to make the NCAA Basketball more exciting to the college students they added a 3 point line because 85% of the college basketball players were far from ever becoming a professional athlete.
Knicks President .. Phil Jackson Wants a 4-point line plus a 30-Second Shot Clock added to the NBA
...Ridiculous!
Now is the time for Phil Jackson to retire from the NBA for life ... when u listen to Phil reason for change
?Why not have a 4-point line about 35 feet out?? Jackson suggested to Charley Rosen of Today?s Fastbreak in an interview published Friday. ?It wouldn?t be long before players will get reasonably comfortable shooting from out there. And having a 4-point line would certainly serve to enable teams to catch up in what are now blowout games.?
?The three-point shot has had a dramatic effect on the game,? Jackson says. ?It began with the old American Basketball Association with their striped ball and emphasis on backcourt play. Nowadays, you have to come out and guard the long-range shooters, which now includes stretch 4s. What this does is open up driving lanes. So most offenses come down to high screen fades, drives and kick-out passes, and guys getting fouled when they attack the basket. Even so, the game is still about ball penetration.?
A 4-point line wouldn?t likely help his Knicks as they finished 20th in the league in 3-point percentage last season.
