Four-point shot? Crediting Stephen Curry, Larry Bird and Reggie Miller weigh in

Four-point shot? Crediting Stephen Curry, Larry Bird and Reggie Miller weigh in

Stephen Curry is revolutionizing the game of basketball – literally. With his never-ending, awe-inspiring three-point shooting onslaughts game after game, season after season, a question has arisen: Is the three-point line not enough? Should the NBA introduce, dare we say, a four-point shot?

Larry Bird and Reggie Miller – widely considered two of the greatest shooters of all-time – have contrasting viewpoints.

“When I played, I never did practice three-point shots,” Bird said in a recent interview with The New Yorker. “But these kids here, that’s all they do. The game has changed, no question about it. Every 10, 12, 15 years, there’s something new coming in You put that four-point line in there and people will start practicing. And once they start practicing, they get better at it. Maybe five or ten years down the road, fours are what everybody will be shooting. The game evolves.”

I've been thinking about the 4 point shots as well. If a player makes a half-court shot, his team should be rewarded 4 points.

It would turn shyt into a circus, all these nikkas practicing trick shots from half court, inside of learning to drive the lane.

It will certainly create more spacing on the floor

There'd be more of a lane to drive towards if defenses are extended

Imagine Harden's defense having to defend the 4 pt line

 

[Houston911]

I kinda like the idea

I'm curious has this ever been tried in a pro or semi pro league.

it has a little now, teams that don't have the personal to shoot 20 or 30 a game do it anyway just come down the court and shoot a 3 with 20 seconds on the shot clock

there r nowhere near the amount of dunks as there used to be
