Are worth 3 points?
The first three point shot in basketball was made in 1945 at the collegiate level in a game between Fordham and Columbia, but it is unknown who took it. Various professional leagues used it as early as 1961, but not on a consistent basis. The ABA used it before their merger with the NBA. The first NBA three point shot is credited to Chris Ford of the Celtics, but it is believed that Kevin Grevey of the Bullets hit the first three point shot earlier in the same day, October 12, 1979.
