It all depends on where you shoot from. If you shoot anywhere inside the 3 pointer line during play, it will be counted as a 2 pointer. However, if you shoot outside of the 3 pointer line, then its counted as a 3 pointer. If you are fouled and get the shot in from the free throw line, you get 1 point.
