Today, U.S. men’s basketball player Curry spoke at a press conference about the differences between the FIBA three-point line and that of the NBA.
Curry noted,
“NBA players have a sort of muscle memory for the dimensions of the court and the placement of the lines. This familiarity with the court impacts shooting habits and feel for the ball. The distance of the FIBA three-point line is somewhat different from the NBA (closer), and players initially struggle to adjust. However, after numerous training sessions and warm-up games, we’ve gradually gotten used to this difference and no longer give it much thought.”
“The key point is that wherever we catch the ball to shoot, we must maintain our shooting confidence. Paying too much attention to the difference in the three-point line and the dimensions can actually hinder performance.”
The FIBA three-point line is 6.75 meters (6.60 meters at the baseline) compared to the NBA’s 7.24 meters (6.70 meters at the baseline), making it significantly closer.
