NBA Considers Major Changes to Combat Overpowered Offenses

As scoring reaches historic highs, the league explores radical and traditional proposals to restore defensive balance.

NBA offenses have reached all-time highs in efficiency, prompting the league to consider changes to restore balance between offense and defense.
Proposals include moving the 3-point line to 26 feet, eliminating the corner three, and adopting FIBA rim rules to empower defenders.
Other suggestions involve shrinking the court, sloping corners, and introducing environmental elements to challenge shooters.
Critics argue that the league's focus on increasing offense has made it difficult for defenders, suggesting the return of hand checking and eliminating defensive 3 seconds.
The NBA's competition committee is reviewing these proposals, with any changes still months away.
