    Just to be clear, I think changing the 3 point line is silly. I think if Cuban had Curry on the Mavs' roster, he would be aghast at the notion.

    Plays like Lillard's 0.9 second shot to close out the Rockets comes to mind.

    I just miss the old school game. I like high elbows, I like clogging the lane, I like hand checking..... I like sheer strength over ranging down threes.

    Eliminate the three point line on the sides, Just make the three point line to one end of the floor to the next.

    You must have loved Riley's Knicks teams and 85 point games.

    That rule hurts everyone except Curry; Cuban is the stupidest billionaire this side of Donald Trump.

    I'm all for a deeper line. Shape it like a teardrop. 50 feet deep straight out, but 13 feet deep on the sides. Deeeeep, man.

    If they want to change the court in any way they should make it wider. This will never happen of course.

    You're right, refs would never get it right.

    That's easy to see. Just like spotting a 3 pointer.

    No offense bro. It's just a stupid novelty idea.
