The history of the
3 point shot
The three-point rule was first tested, at the collegiate
level, in a 1945
National Collegiate Athletic Association game between
Columbia and
Fordham
but professional basketball would be the first to adopt the rule on a permanent
basis. The short-lived
American Basketball League did so in 1961, and the
Eastern Professional Basketball League followed in its 1963-64 season. The
three-point shot later became popularized by the original
American Basketball Association after its introduction in 1968. During the
1970s, the ABA would use the three-point shot, along with the
slam dunk,
as a marketing tool to compete with the
National Basketball Association (NBA). In the
1979–80 season, the NBA officially adopted the three-point shot. On
October 12,
1979,
Chris Ford
scored the NBA's first three-point shot, and
Fred Brown led the league in three-point field goal percentage in that first
season of adoption. The sport's international governing body,
FIBA, introduced the three-point line in 1984.
The NCAA adopted the 19-foot, 9-inch line nationally in 1986. On May 3, 2007 the
NCAA rules committee decided to lengthen the three point line to 20 feet 9
inches. This rule will come into effect at the beginning of the 2008-09 season.
J. J.
Redick currently holds the NCAA Division I record with 457 three-point field
goals while shooting 40.4% from three-point range for his career.
