23 FEET
The corner 3-point line on a standard NBA basketball court is 22 feet from the basket. In college basketball, the distance is slightly shorter at 21.7 feet. The line is positioned at an angle, with the distance to the basket increasing further from the corners.
The NBA three-point line was introduced in the 1979-80 season, largely influenced by the success of the three-point shot in college basketball. While there is no single inventor, then-NBA President Larry O'Brien and the league’s Board of Governors approved its implementation. The idea was to enhance the game by promoting scoring and spacing on the court. The line has since become a crucial aspect of modern basketball strategy.
