How the 3-point line is breaking basketball
The game is at a turning point. Should the rules be changed? Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO The NBA introduced the 3-point line in 1979, and not much changed right away. Players weren’t used to shooting from far out, so for the first few years, they mostly didn’t. It wasn’t until the 1986-1987 season that the league as a whole scored over 100 3s in one season. The arc of the line was shortened for a few years in the '90s, but besides that, it hasn't changed much — and that’s given players and coaches an opportunity to strategize around it. In 2014, statistic-obsessed sports executive Daryl Morey led what many people call the 3-point revolution. He used the D-League Rio Grande Valley Vipers as a testing ground to see if volume shooting from the 3-point line netted better results than shooting 2s — and it worked. The math states that scoring one-third of your shots from behind the 3-point line is as good as scoring half your shots from inside the line. In other words: Shooting as many 3s as possible will likely lead to a higher score. The league took notice, and teams and players followed suit. 3s have become so prevalent in recent years that fans are criticizing the league for being oversaturated with them. Critics worry that the game is on the verge of becoming boring because everyone is trying to do the same thing. And that's led some to wonder if the NBA should move the 3-point line back.

Korleone Young Scores 30.769% of his Career NBA Points vs. Magic (1999)
Korleone Young, a native of Wichita, Kansas, declared for the 1998 NBA Draft following his senior year at Hargrave Military Academy. The Detroit Pistons selected him in the second round, 40th overall (one pick after Rafer Alston and one prior to Cuttino Mobley). Often cited in the case against high schoolers going pro, Young played in just three NBA games, all with the Pistons during the lockout-shortened 1999 season. Scouts and those around the league have suggested Young may have benefitted from a few years of seasoning in college (he had contemplated heading to Georgetown or even joining his AAU teammate JaRon Rush at Kansas). Instead, he headed to Detroit to begin his NBA career as a teenager with raw skills and little real life experience. “As he walked through the doors, I was listening to him,” said former Detroit Pistons teammate Joe Dumars. “When he got on the court, you could see he had talent, but you knew the process was going to be hard because he was just so young for the league. He sounded like a young high school kid all of a sudden thrown into the NBA world.” Following his rookie season, Young was released by the Pistons. “I just thought that his game needed so much improvement,” said Alvin Gentry, the Pistons' head coach at the time. “Needed improvement in ballhandling, needed improvement from transitioning from an inside player in high school to being a wing player. Defensively, guarding guys on the floor. I just thought he just needed a ton of improvement.” Young attended the Philadelphia 76ers training camp the following fall when he encountered a fit of bad luck. First, he was struck from behind and robbed of a significant amount of jewelry while walking in downtown Philadelphia. Second, he failed to catch on with the Sixers. Young's departure from Detroit resonated. “That really messed me up because I didn’t want to leave. I was in a childish mind-set that this was my home now. I didn’t feel like I could bounce around. That summer I was depressed, with $300,000 [in the bank]. Endless money. I could do what I want. But I wasn’t happy because I wasn’t in Detroit no more. So that summer I went and bought $120,000 worth of jewelry and then the next year they robbed me in Philadelphia when I was walking in the middle of the city. I only had $30,000 insured. I had bad guidance, made terrible decisions by not just insuring it.“ After playing professionally overseas through much of the 2000's, Young now resides in his hometown, Wichita, Kansas, looking to contribute to his community by using basketball as a means of leading the city's youth on a worthy path.
