King of Basketball
If I was the king of basketball I would change the rules to make a 4 point line. Somewhere between the 3 point line and half-court I would make a 4-point line. Having a 4 point line would have more exciting games and would have players become better outside shooters. Even though it would be a very difficult shot I think it would make the game very entertaining. Also, I think kids would enjoy basketball more if they could make a 4 point shot. Even some coaches and owners think a 4 point line would be an exciting aspect to the game. Phil Jackson, longtime coach and owner, had something things to say about the 4 point line. "So, Jackson's a purist, but he's a purist who would be fine with a 4-point line. How fascinating. He's always been a guy who places emphasis on versatility and skill with the basketball, and he values ball movement over one-on-one play. The game has moved in that direction, but away from the post-ups and midrange jumpers that were so prevalent when he coached the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers." Basketball would definitely change a lot with a 4 point line and I think that's the main reason against it. Although the game would never be the same, I think it would increase a lot of attention to the sport and gain younger athletes to start playing basketball
