    well?



    somebody post it. I know the court is 94x50.

    I want to know the size of the key, the distance of the three point line. and all that stuff. I've searched, but all I have found was college stuff.


    I found that the backboard extends four feet into the court.

    15 ft to the Free throw line.

    22 ft 3 point line on the sides, 23'9" at the top. I think the top of the key is 19'9" like the college 3 point line, though I could be wrong on that one.

    Since we are on the subject of court dimensions, I just thought to throw out an idea.
    With the players being bigger than years past, maybe they should make the court bigger. Besides providing the needed room on the baseline for the 3 pt line, bigger court may open the game up more, more court to defend, raising the points scored, hence attract more fans.
    I also think the league did itself a dis-service to allow zone defense which gives more weapon to the defense and lowers the scoring avg.
