NBA to eliminate the 3 pointers?

I've read it on another board. It seems, for the developmental league, they are going to eliminate the 3 pointers until the last 5 minutes of the game. Rumors have it that it is a test run for the NBA. WTF? I know that viewership has been going down for the past 2 to 3 years. Maybe it's because the quality of the game has gone down also. Maybe the players should go back to school and learn how to properly dribble, pass and shoot.

Just because they're testing it for the NBA doesn't mean it's automatically going to happen in a couple years.

It's most likely this won't fly.

Well, I guess the league really DOESN'T care about international play.....

personally i think that it would make the game more aggressive, cause turnarounds would be harder. i hope they won't do it, cause that would make the game kinda boring, cause there is fun in watching the 3-pointer shots

Never mind 3-pointers. When will refs stop the pounding on large men?
