Overview

• 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.
