It will not happen. Only acceptable if its before passing mid court. But those are last second fluky shots vs real attempts

Court size change. Thumbs up. Four point shot? Should go in the throw out pile.

It would probably make more sense just to eliminate the corner three, though.

TP to this - it's an awkward shot and kind of kills spacing on defense.

I would kind of be in favor of having a four point shot so that more players would take half and three quarter court shots; rather than dribble and slowly take one after the buzzer because they don't want to ruin their 3pt%.

it's sad that they'll contemplate ideas like this but never consider the glaring issues like the horrible full-time refs they employ.

  Kiki Vandeweghe still hasn't seen a shot he didn't like, including a 4.

Agreed.  I don't think the court needs to lengthened, just widened.  Today's athletes can cover so much ground on D, widening the court would really help with spacing.  It would also make the corner three closer distance-wise with a top of the key three.

Only if the refs have to do the walker wiggle to signal to the scorers its a 4.

As someone who hates the three point shot and thinks the NBA should get rid of it, the 4 point shot may actually get me to finally stop watching.

Why do you hate the three?

I don't like it, why don't they consider adding defense(aka bringing physicality back).
