I dont think that they did because the NBA at the beginning never had a three point line
The NBA distance from the three point line to the goal is 23.750-feet. The distance in college and high school basketball is 19-feet, 9-inches. An NBA court is 90-feet by 50-feet.
Free throws were 1 point all other baskets were 2 points there was no 3 point line until the NBA merged with the ABA. the ABA invented the 3-point arc introducing it to the NBA in their merge in1976
It is believed that the first NBA three-point shot was made in 1979. The player credited with making that shot was Chris Ford.
It depends on which division you are talking about. High school, college, and nba are all different
50 feet.
They don't give 3 points for a field goal. Basketball gives you three points when you make a basket at the three point line the three point line was added after the 1978/1979 season.
nba 3 point is 36ft. away from the basket
they did it so that college and nba players would start shooting farther shots and to help improve their shot
The NBA (National Basketball Association) was founded in 1949 when BAA (Basketball Association of America) and NBL (National Basketball League) were combined. There were a total of 17 teams in this league.
The NBA introduced the three point line in the 1979-80 season at a length of 23'9" from the top of the key to a length of 22 feet in the corners. In the 1994-95 season, the NBA changed things so the three point line was a uniform 22 feet from the basket. The distance was reverted to 23'9" in the 1997-98 season and has been there ever since. The 19'9" distance is the distance of the college basketball three point line, which will be changed to 20'9" for the 2008-09 season
Yes on the 60's and 50's courts
