I believe that Julio Pedraza was the first person to make the 3 point shot.
When a foul is committed the player receives 1 personal foul. Their opponent is allowed to shoot up to 3 foul shots depending on if the basket is made or not made when they are fouled. If the shot was not made when they shot inside the 3 point line, they are awarded 2 foul shots. If the shot was not made from the 3 point line, they are awarded 3 foul shots. If the shot is made in either situation (from the 3 point line or inside the 3 point line), they are awarded 1 foul shot.
1 pointer-free throw 2 pointer-shot made within the 3 point line 3 pointer-shot made behind the 3 point line
none
foul shot = 1 point any shot within or on the 3 point line = 2 points any shot beyond the 3 point line = 3 points
2 point field goals made (any shot within the 3-point line)
Yes, there is a 3-point shot in NCAA basketball.
Chronologically, Herman Sayger was the inventor. Depending on your perspective, the three-point line was developed/introduced several times in the course of basketball's history. The list of possible "inventors" are included below: # Herman Sayger (1933) # Howard Hobson (1945) # Al Grenert (1950s) # American Basketball League (1961) # Eddie Rios Mellado (1962) # ABA (1968) For a more in-depth answer, you can read Interbasket's article on Who Invented the 3-Point Line (check out the reference/link below)
It is believed that the first NBA three-point shot was made in 1979. The player credited with making that shot was Chris Ford.
The 3 point shot was added to college ball in 1987, I believe. At 19'9" it is shorter than the International version and the NBA version at 23'9"
3 points - for a score made from beyond the "3-point line/arch" 2 points - for a score made from a close range or within the "3-point line" 1 point - for each foul shot made (from the foul line) aka "free throw".
That shot is only worth 3 points. Any shot made past the 3 point line is worth such and no more...unless fouled in the act of shooting. The you have the infamous "4 point play"
Shaquille O'Neal only made one three point shot during his entire career. He made the shot during the 1995-96 NBA season with the Orlando Magic. His career three point shot record is 1 for 22 (a 4.5% career percentage).
