3-pt dunk: Proposed rule change

[e_wheazhy_]

why dont we just forget basketball, add trampolines inside the arc and make tackling allowed?

oh wait...

No, per stretch we are doing away with the concept of points altogether. It's strictly judges from here on in. lol. BTW, where is the 4-pt line? Is that like a dunk from half-court?

Lol idk he'll figure it out. Also throw in a 20 point line to avoid blow outs

Guys, thx for the comments. Slamball was a brilliant post which pretty much ends the thought.

Actually, in all seriousness, this got me thinking about the real 3-pt line. Should a 24-ft shot really be worth one full point more than a 23-ft shot? I can rationalize that a free throw is only worth 1 point because it's uncontested. But a 3-pointer is simply a matter of where your feet are. And the corner 3 is even shorter. It seems like the 3-point shot has a disproportionate risk/reward and outcome to the game, relative to other things that are going on in the game. Anybody else thought about this?

I like this, but the free throw line is a bit too far away. Imagine a team down by 3 at the end of a game. You would have to guard both the '3-pt dunk' line and the traditional 3-pt line. So now you would have guys taking off 'kamikaze-style' from the free throw line to try and tie the game with guys waiting for them under the rim. That's action.

Haha. now that, would be awesome.
