This can happen when a player is fouled while shooting a 3-pointer and makes the shot. They are awarded with a free throw, in addition to making the 3-pointer. If the free throw is made, the result is 4 points.
A field goal in Basketball is also called a three pointer. A three pointer is when a player shoots the ball outside the three point line and makes it.
This is because some have the college 3 pointer AND the Pro 3 pointer.

It means your 3 pointer percentage.

In basketball, there is a 3 pointer line, beyond which a player gets 3 points instead of 2 if he nets. It gets more difficult to score when someone is standing far from the rim.
