The Harlem Globetrotters did not invent the three-point shot, but they popularized long-range shooting in exhibition games throughout the early to mid-20th century. The official three-point line was later introduced in the NBA in the 1979-80 season. The Globetrotters' entertaining style of play showcased a variety of shots, including long-distance attempts, which influenced Basketball culture. However, the formal adoption of the three-point shot came from the broader evolution of the sport rather than a single origin point.
