Harlem Globe Trotters have had the 4 pt circles for a while now. I don't think it adds anything to game myself....I don't want hoops to be half court heaves early in the shot clock either.

You're crazy FAMS! 4pt spot would change the game bigtime.....just like when they moved IN the 3 point line for a couple seasons. If I recall correctly that was during the slump of scoring back in the 90s.... didn't everybody start launching them and the scoring dipped big time because of it.
I think guys like Dame, Trey and Curry would kill with that and it would open up the game even more. Might be uglier, but the scoring would go up. But I love high scoring hoops.

At one point I thought it would be cool if he bought the Blazers...but I was torn...on the one hand he's stupid rich, doesn't like Elon and would pump literally billions into the team (if he bought the blazers)...on the other hand, hes slimy and a weirdo.

There's an old game called NBA Courtside 2 on Nintendo 64. You could add "hot spots" to the games.

Random stars would occasionally flash on the court. They dissappeared after a few seconds. Some were worth big points. Swing the ball around connect inside the "bonus star" for game changing moments.

Sometimes the bonus star would show up in the dunking lanes. 8 points for a 360 jam with Rasheed Wallace ?? NICE

With those new LED courts...
anything is possible

If you want to had some excitement to the game, add a 3pt alleyoop. As along as the pass is made from behind the 3pt line and the receiving player catches in the air and doesn't touch the ground, it's counts for 3pts. Especially in close games at the end you add a 2nd 3pt scoring option.

Technically, using the example below, the NBA gives players the option to make a 3pt dunk. As long as they jump from behind the 3pt line, if they dunk it, it's 3pts. So, why not a 3pt alleyoop?

8'11 is crazy....but it's actually a pretty sad story

In today's news...

In 2007, Coleman married Shannon Price, who was 22 years old. They told Inside Edition the relationship was tempestuous.

They divorced in 2008. Price was at their Utah home two years later when Coleman suffered a fatal fall. She called 911.

"The story that she gives is that he fell down a flight of stairs. She saw him in a pool of blood. She didn't want to touch him," Coleman's former agent Victor Perillo tells Inside Edition.

Coleman was taken off life support two days later. His friend and former co-star, Todd Bridges, tells Inside Edition it was too soon.

"He had told us if something happened, he wanted a chance to make it back. The kid was a fighter. I believe he could have made it back from that," Bridges says. "I believe [the investigation] was poorly done."

After an autopsy, authorities ruled Coleman's death an accident.

A 3pt shot is determined by both feet of the shooter established behind the arc before release. If a player leaps without the ball and collects a pass mid-air inside the arc, it is still registered as a 2pt FG. The shooter did not have possession of the ball behind the arc.

We can't go around changing the Naismith bible of basketball rules. Otherwise we'd end up watching that Slam Ball trampoline horse crap, and flip the channel over to something that wasn't dumb to watch.

Yes, you would need a rule change for the 3pt alleyoop, just like you'd need a rule change for a 4pt shot.

4 point shot? I'm talking about 10 point bonus stars appearing on the floor. Big points, huge momentum shifts! But the "rules of basketball" stay the same.
 
Imagine Steph Curry & the Warriors are down 7 with just a few seconds left. Kuminga is getting doubled teamed in the paint. Oh no, this looks like it might be over in Dub nation. "Boom" a big fat 8 point star appears just a few steps away from Curry. Kick it to Steph for the game winning 8 pointer! Yaaaay

Ummm... 10 points would require a rule change.
 
Let's say the league average is .333. Then if a made 3-pointer is changed to a 10-pointer, a missed one should be a negative 20-pointer. Curry will be the goat twice as often as he's the GOAT. He will perform a sad American Indian dance after such shots, bowing to the rain gods.

Lob passes / alley-oops happen all the time. What the hell are you talking about?

Click to expand...

no 3 point ally-oops !! The game would change dramatically. Nobody would ever shoot the ball. Bad passes would constantly spray into the crowd. The beer vendors would have to wear helmets. The cheerleaders would have black eyes. Exploding nacho carnage would be a regular occurrence.

the game would become oopers & oopsies

No 3pt alley-Oops
 
Get rid of free throws, speed up the game.

The player fouled gets 1 point, and the ball, restart clock.

You sound like the NCAA on why they banned dunks until 1976.
 
I believe if a player makes a fantastic pass to another player and they are fouled on the shot.....if they make BOTH free throws, the aforementioned player who made the pass should be credited with an assist.
