...or so says a Yahoo! Sports columnist.
He recommends (as the Globetrotters have done) limiting it to a certain time period to foster comebacks [sort of akin to the XFL's 3-pt conversion (which wasn't time-limited), though he didn't mention it] as opposed to bigger blowouts. He also wants an arc 12' beyond the 3-pt line vice the 'Trotters' 5x5 circles. Ultimately, he thinks, as they've done in the past, the NBA has outgrown the game and must shake things up to survive.
