NEW YORK CITY - (Sports Satire) - Sportsapalooza writer Pia Confetti spoke to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who informed her that he had decided to implement a new scoring rule that just about every NBA coach, player, and cheerleader loves.
Silver said that in order to make games much more exciting, this coming season, teams will be able to shoot from the half court mark and if the ball goes in, it will be count as 5 points.
The Commissioner noted that this way, most fans will not head for the exits if late in the game a team is trailing by five points, which translates into more sales of beer, popcorn, hot dogs, nachos, and Skittles.
Golden State Warriors super star Stephen Curry, who is regarded as the best 3-point shooter in the NBA, positively loves this new 5-point shot rule.
