re: 3-pt line
Discussion on this was interesting. If moving the line out is going to result in more crowded space - and if more open space results in more entertaining basketball, why don't they just make the court bigger (and keep the 3 pt line and hoop height the same)? If we take a step back, it's insane to think that a game involving 10 giants takes place in a space that is 33% smaller than the area of the 18-yard (penalty) box of a soccer field.
