History

Historical Context

The NBA introduced the three-point line in 1979, initially viewed as a gimmick. However, by the 2015-2016 season, the Golden State Warriors, led by Stephen Curry, revolutionized the game with 1,077 three-pointers made. This shift has since transformed team strategies, emphasizing perimeter shooting and leading to a dramatic increase in three-point attempts across the league, averaging 32 per game by 2018-2019.
