In the NBA, the three-point line is approximately 7.24 meters (23.75 feet) from the basket at its farthest point, while in international play (FIBA), it is set at 6.75 meters (22.15 feet). College basketball also uses a distance of 7.24 meters.

The official NBA three-point line distance is 23 feet 9 inches at the top of the key and 22 feet in the corners. This distance impacts the game of basketball by rewarding players who can shoot accurately from long range, creating spacing on the court, and forcing defenses to stretch out to guard shooters, opening up driving lanes for offensive players.

The minimum distance of three point territory is 22 feet from the rim. All shots made from the distance and beyond are worth three points.
