Message: [QUOTE="Oldschoolbb, post: 5313327, member: 11068"] For an exhibition game, the 4 pointer was kind of fun, but I don't confuse an exhibition game for a real one. When you look at the genesis of the 3 point shot, it was a gimmick to provide more "offense" (or points, really), to the ABA game in an attempt to make the ABA game more entertaining than the NBA game. Being alive at the time, I never saw, nor do I think there was, a "basketball" reason for rewarding one shot more than another. I, too, would be in favor of getting rid of the 3 point shot. [/QUOTE]
