I don’t remember it, I’ll look it up later. The ACC back in the early 80s had a shorter line.

They did, just looked it up.
"For three seasons beginning in 1994–95, the NBA attempted to address decreased scoring by shortening the distance of the line from 23 ft 9 in (7.24 m) (22 ft (6.71 m) at the corners) to a uniform 22 ft (6.71 m) around the basket."

It looks like they did for 3 years, then moved it back in the mid-90s, if this is correct. I don’t recall this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball_court

in the 90s, the distance of the 3-point line changed for a couple years?
That’s right. From the beginning of the 1994-95 season through the end of the 1996-97 season, the 3-point line went from 23 feet, 9 inches (22 feet at the corners) to a uniform 22 feet (6.7 m) around the basket.
The change was made as a result of below average scoring games in the seasons leading up to the rule change. Though the average number of 3-point attempts per game increased by over 50 percent, the line was moved back to the original distance after the 1996-97 season because the change had actually lowered the average score of games. In the three seasons leading up to the new rule, teams averaged 105.6 points per game. In the three seasons with the shorter 3-point line, that average fell to 100.8.

LMAO. That about sums it up.
Who knew that years later this Groundhog Day shit would have proven to be at least somewhat useful.

LMAO. I view these guys as comic relief.
The quality of the shots. Jordan didn't take many 3s. This means that a high percentage of his 3s were prayers and last second shots with a man in his face. Did you watch him play? Jordan was a much better shooter from every distance.
Teams let Brick shoot open 3s. They want him to shoot. Teams came out on Jordan trying to take the ball out of his hands.
Brick shooting 67% from the line this year and kane thinks Brick is a good outside shooter.

it bothers LeBron has only 1/2 the rings MJ has. Now pointing fingers at the whole laker team. Soon to be blaming chamberlain , lew alcinder & west . If he don't win it this year or next probably picks up his marbles and goes to another team. Durant probably won't go to lakers. Durant wants to me the Man in NYC. The NY media will toast him quick. Lakers need another star to win it. Has to come from somewhere. Some small other parts too.
Almost Allright
GO Bucks!!!
Three years. Mostly. May have been a rare case or two mid 70’s.
Questioning this sheds some light. This debate definitely includes some generational flavor. I’d imagine most pro Jordan peeps would know the eligibility rule of years gone by.

They need a fucking coach who isn't going to sit both LBJ and BI, who was having the game of his life, to begin the 4th... one of them needed to be out there at that time,.
It really was a great game until the implosion at the end but JFC, just make simple in-running decisions.
Fading Brick has been money this year.
Brick's whining, crying and body language isn't good for the ream.

Magic has to be having buyer's remorse at this point. This is sad.

What's sad? They played one of the best teams in the LG and had a real shot and would have had a better shot w/ just common sense coaching? They looked really good, stop focusing on the results. I know it's difficult because they are so important at this point but someone needs to tell Luke that.
Can you please share w/ me the logic behind the starting 4th qrt lineup in a nip and tuck game that you simply have to have? In all seriousness, maybe I am missing something but why wasn't LBJ or BI, who was having a career game, not out there? This wasn't some regular, regular season game.
Brick picked his team and they aren't going to make the playoffs.
The thing that's most overlooked is that the Lakers are a great defensive team in games without Brick and a bad defensive team with Brick.

Nothing. I don't care.
I was just trolling and having fun at your expense. I'm surprised it took you 15 minutes to respond. I would have bet heavy on the under.

Another easy one boys..... thank you Brick!!!
He led Lakers in turnovers, defense was atrocious, -4 for the game, and Rondo out-rebounded him!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLAY ANOTHER FEW YEARS, PLEASE!!
Go for the all time turnover record or something, he's been straight cash this year boys.....
And we didn't have to wait for the Finals!

Exactly.
Pretty ironic since Brick is the last guy that wants to be yelled at by a coach or anyone else.
He would take his ball and go home at the drop of a hat.
Treat others how you want to be treated moron.

agree . LBJ playing with the young kids sort of like a grandfather to them He had a good run with 3 rings. He knew his run was over when he smashed his hand last year. Now needs a solid all-star to help him to win another. Many don't want to play with him. LBJ will find someone. If he was smart he would take a pay cut and get 2 all stars . He would get 2-3 rings.
