the link is quite interesting - to me anyway - it shows how the 3 point attempt has changed the NBA game
in 1979 when it was first put in there were only an average of three 3 point attempts per game
gradually, players started practicing it, getting better at it, and now there are on average 34. 3 three point attempts per game
the no. of per game 3 point attempts has increased in 15 of the last 20 years
the overall 3 point % is currently .360
the overall 2 point % is currently .474
in 100 shots on average the 3 point shooters will score 108 points
in 100 shots on average the 2 point shooters will score 95 points
even though so many of the 2 point attempts are dunks or very close in shots
the 3 point % did not hit .300 until 1986
it hit .359 in 1994 and really hasn't climbed since - again, now at .360
