Why? What problem is it solving? I think that the game is fine now

the way it is played. If anything is wrong with the NBA right now, it is that teams are maybe over-emphasizing 3-pt shooting, and it seems like raising the rim would just increase the percentage of shot taken from outside.

Would you be in favor of raising the basketball hoop to 11'?

No, I would need a taller ladder to be able to dunk.

It would take a whole new level of muscle memory practice

They could just move it up 1/2 inch per year for the next 24 years. Problem solved.

They used to raise their admission price fifty cents a year.

Gotcha. I wasn't thinking back that far.

Yes. Would decrease the number of times I hit my head on the rim when dunking.

I cut my chin up pretty good coming down on the rim yesterday.

I would prefer a 4 point line, at a similar distance to Lillard's shot yesterday

That would only be fair for the Trailblazers. Ha. Could you imagine though...

It would be fun. Just a straight line across a few feet in front of half court

Jimmer might finally make it in the NBA!! 😉

NBA is all 3pts and dunks.

I agree that the shot distribution has skewed dramatically towards

The only way to change this is to get rid of the corner 3 and make the 3 point

Leave the basket, move the 3 further back, make the cylinder a divider between 1

Allow goal tending on 3 pointers

You want to get rid of 3 pointers and dunks?

I believe they should adjust NBA and NCAA to 10'6" for few years then consider..

not much would change once players adjusted, other than less dunks

Lower it a foot instead. Make it more equal for all.

Much less scoring. Could have some single digit scores & 10-20 minute shutouts.

No.

Not sure it would make much difference on shooting %. They likely would adjust faster than one might expect.

lightmann

8/14/20 11:38am

my only concern is what would happen to all of the great dunkers out there

Kylester

8/14/20 11:43am

So turn the NBA into the WNBA?? As in very few dunks. Everything below the rim.

No. But I would favor lowering...

No..lower to 9.5 feet. Stop giving advantages to anatomically abnormal giants..
