With outside shooting taking an ever-increasing place in basketball, the idea of ​​a four-point line is on the minds of quite a few people.

The best shooter of all time, Stephen Curry, gave his very strong opinion on the subject in 2022.

In nearly 133 years of existence, basketball has undergone many changes in its rules, but also in the way it is played around the world.

The latest one is very recent since in the Philippines, they decided to add… a four-point line on the court, no less. And it didn’t take long for it to be named:

The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) has introduced a 4-point shot for the new season. Veteran guard Chris Banchero made the first-ever 4-pointer on opening night!

Steph Curry not in favor of a four-point line

A real revolution for the orange ball, which has increasingly relied on the outside shot in recent years.

At the origin of this trend, the Warriors of a certain Stephen Curry who is also recognized as the best shooter in history.

Imagine what he could accomplish with a four-point line in the NBA… The Chief had also given his opinion on the subject to Sports Illustrated, in 2022:

It would benefit me if there was a line for four-point shots, because I probably already shoot a lot of them from way beyond the three-point line.

But I feel like it would change the geometry of the game too much and encourage a lot of people who can’t shoot to shoot from even further away.

Curry is an elite shooter and he has inspired a lot of basketball players with his success, but it is not given to everyone.

So be careful not to go overboard when many people think that players take way too many three-point shots these days.

It is therefore not certain that the NBA will adopt this four-point line in the near future, much to the dismay of fans of No. 30.

Steph would drop Wilt-like stats with this

A four-point line in the NBA? It wouldn’t even be that surprising, but Stephen Curry had a lot of reservations about it two years ago.

Given the current evolution of basketball, I’m not sure his opinion on the subject has changed in the meantime.
