Your friend doesn't know it's 10 feet? Oh and I didn't know that the 3pt line had an additional 9 inches back.
You should tell him to stop playing on those rims that you can lower to like 7 feet and those bedroom door nets because it's getting to his head, haha.
Man, thats very surprising he didn't know the rim was 10ft, and which 3 pt line do you want to know?(i don't know college or nba) Because they're different distances from the hoop. Wait i found it the 3 pt line listed above is the furthest distance for ncaa for the nba the furthest distance (top of the key) is 23'9".
I thought that the freethrow line from the rim was exactly 15 feet and the three-point line was 25 feet. I don't know, maybe I play too much NBA Live 2004.
heh, i got those 3 point measurements straight from a site on how to draw out an NBA regulation court.
High-school and college are the same. NBA line is further out. There is no "exact" distance because it varies going from the sideline to the top of the key.

Then which court for the three-point line in the NBA is shortest away from the basketball rim?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ANiMuS:</div><div class="quote_post">There is no "exact" distance because it varies going from the sideline to the top of the key.</div> That's not true at all, of course there is an exact distance . A 3-point line on an NBA regulation court has exactly two different dimensions, one for the arc as a whole and one for each side below the elbows. The entire arc of the 3-point line at any given place is exactly 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the hoop and below the elbows on the wing the 3-point line is exactly 22 feet from the center of the hoop and 3 feet from the out of bounds line. This very basic information is readily available on the NBA's website. BTW, I didn't close this thread and i'm not sure why it was closed.
