re: Is it not cool to shoot from inside the 3 point line besides driving to the goal?

Eliminate the 3 point line.

The correct answer is more complicated.

Either you make the court bigger and move the 3pt line back significantly further, or you change the points awarded for each made basket.

I.e. field goals are worth 3 points and anything behind the arc is worth 4, or 4 for FGs and 5 deep balls.

That inherently makes a behind the arc shot less valuable.

4 and 5 would be good because you could make FTs worth 2 and keep that relationship with FGs that you already have.

But they also need to figure out how to get the James Harden free throw mongers under control.
