Newly-elected PBA chairman Ricky Vargas said the four-point shot is among several rule changes approved by the board on the first day of its planning session at the Swissotel Nankai.
An arc measuring 27 feet will be put on the court during games. The three-point line, which measures 23 feet, will stay.
The 49-year-old league first introduced the creative rule during the 2023 All-Star games in Passi City, Iloilo, and was retained in the same mid-season event during the 2024 edition in Bacolod City earlier this year.
Lol. IIRC tayo yung may pinaka mababang 3pt % sa Asia. Hirap tayong maka-develop ng legit shooters, kahit yung mga okay ang percentages sa amateur level hindi nag ta-translate sa pro eh. Sana naman makatulong tong rule change to haha
