Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 3374684, member: 767"] It's crazy how much of a difference the shortened 3 point line had. Like you said, in 96 and 97, Jordan took around 3.5 per game, and made, averaging the 2 years, right around 40%. line is moved back out in 98, and Jordan goes down to 1.5 per game, and makes only 24%. In the 3 years before they moved the line in, the average team took 8.8 3's per game, and made about 33%. In the 3 years of the shorter line, they took about 13 and made 36%. Huge change. In the 3 years after they moved it back, it was down to about 13 per game, and a little over 34%. So it definitely seems like shorter line increased 3 point attempts even after they went back to the old distance. [/QUOTE]
