“They just arbitrarily drew lines,” his son Jerry Saperstein said. To determine the distance the new shot line should be from the basket, Saperstein and longtime DePaul University coach Ray Meyer went onto a court one day with tape and selected 25 feet as the right length. “We must have a weapon,” Saperstein said, “and this is ours.” He hoped the three-pointer would become basketball's equivalent of the home run. As commissioner of the new league, Saperstein wanted to add excitement to the game and distinguish the league from the bigger NBA. Īt the direction of Abe Saperstein, the American Basketball League (ABL) became the first basketball league to institute the rule in 1961. Francis (NY) head coach, Daniel Lynch, once again made the suggestion of a 3pt line to the New York Basketball Writers Association. In 1961, Boston University and Dartmouth played one game with an experimental rule that counted all field goals as three points. There was another one-game experiment in 1958, this time with a 23-foot line, in a game between St. The three-point line was first tested at the collegiate level in 1945, with a 21-foot line, in a game between Columbia and Fordham, but it was not kept as a rule. In 3x3, a FIBA-sanctioned variant of the half-court 3-on-3 game, the same line exists, but shots from behind it are only worth 2 points with all other shots worth 1 point.
The NCAA and NAIA arc is the same distance from the center of the basket as the FIBA arc, but is 3 feet 4 inches (1.02 m) from each sideline because the North American court is slightly wider than the FIBA court. FIBA specifies the arc's minimum distance from the sideline as 0.9 meters (2 ft 11 in), resulting in a minimum distance from the center of the basket of 6.6 meters (21 ft 8 in).
In both the NBA and WNBA, this distance is 3 feet (0.91 m) from the sideline as a result, the distance from the center of the basket gradually decreases to a minimum of 22 feet (6.7 m). Every three-point line becomes parallel to each sideline at the points where each arc is a specified distance from the sideline. The distance from the basket to the three-point line varies by competition level: in the National Basketball Association (NBA) the arc is 23 feet 9 inches (7.24 m) from the center of the basket in the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) (all divisions), and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), the arc is 6.75 m (22 ft 1.75 in) from the center of the basket and in the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) the arc is 19 ft 9 in (6.02 m) from the center of the basket.
#3 POINT MEASURE OF AN ARC FREE#
A successful attempt is worth three points, in contrast to the two points awarded for field goals made within the three-point line and the one point for each made free throw. Trae Young shoots a three-point shot over Stephen Curry during the 2022 NBA All-Star GameĪ three-point field goal (also 3-pointer, three, or trey) is a field goal in a basketball game made from beyond the three-point line, a designated arc surrounding the basket.
