This episode dives into the history of the 3-point line in professional basketball, starting with the American Basketball League in 1961. The 3-point line may seem like a staple in the NBA, but as recently as the 1970's, it did not even exist in the NBA. Join Don and Tommy as they start with the first time the concept was tested in 1945, and then walk you through how it evolved the NBA into the modern-era game through the 1980's and 90's.
