The number of points you get in baseball has nothing to do with how far you hit it. It has to do with the number of people on bases. You can get 1 run by knocking it out of the park or 3 runs by hitting a line drive.

In an individual at bat with no one on how far you hit it does matter... it can be worth 0 or 1. A player can also choose a more difficult play... trying to hit a home run or just slapping a single. So they can choose the risk/reward of the harder play.

The home run is as much a gimmick as the three pointer. Everyone is swinging for the fences now... so boring and dumb!

Basketball is fundamentally different than many other sports... why does this one weird thing become gimmicky because it does not have an exact match in another sport?

Ummmm baseball... if you hit it really far they let all the guys score. All hits should be equal! No matter how far they go!

Its not a gimmick and it makes the sport so much better. Why do sports have to be the same? There are elements of it in other sports... long passes in football are worth the same amount as one yard runs but are much harder to pull off... so difficulty is factored in ya know. Football you can also "go for 2". Sinking a golf shot from farther away reduces you strokes etc.

Its a part of the sport... been around for 40 years... maybe other sports should evolve and add something like it to be more like basketball.

A field goal is worth LESS than a touchdown, because it's... easier.

They need to change foul seeking behavior. Like jumping sideways into guys, embellishing contact, and moving your arms into opposing teams arms when it is unnatural.

Didn’t they put rules in place a few years ago but the refs were too stupid to enforce them?

The NBA will consider using NBA2K crowd sounds during the regular season and playoffs to improve the quality of games, via The Athletic.

I love the NBA. The only reason(other than a little bit of money) the seasons is resuming at all is so they can give LeBron another asterisked ring, and the only reason it's resuming with 22 teams is Zion. Good to know where their priorities lie.

LeBron hasn't been given any titles. MJ was given titles.

Some options:

1. Move the damn line back
2. Adjust them to be worth 2.5 (rounded up for final score)
3. Limit attempts to 30 per game, with any over 30 accounting for only 2 points.

1. Sure, makes sense. Take the top of the key from 22ft 9 inches to 24 or 25 feet. The top is getting abused not so much the wings or corners.

2. Nah. The only thing I think they should add in terms of points is a 4 pointer. Any shot make from the other half is worth 4. Would add excitement for late game scenarios.

3. No limits.
