    will there ever be 4 pointers in the nba?

    bird wants them and reggie doesn't... personally as a gambler, i don't want additional variables. can you imagine, you have -5, you're up by 8 and you lose by a meaningless 4 pointer?

    thoughts?

    Even if they made a 4 point line.... what would be the true percentage of a shooter making one.... guarded or unguarded? I'll take my chances that he wouldn't make it.

    Curry is just out of this world. Will never be another Curry.

    Need to have 3.5 pointers since books use hook lines.

    I'd like to see them widen and lengthen the court instead.

    Game would become an absolute "bomb" fest. Why give the ball to the center for a meager 2 points when you can get double that from far out. No thanks. I'll take it the way it is now.

    The NBA started the 3 point shot for the first time in 1979.

    Are you saying that previous years players got robbed?

    A few more days. The ratings are horrible. Most people watch soccer than NBA finals. Last game I watched was game 5 of Spurs/Thunder series.
