GRAPHIC: Should the NBA move the 3-point line back to 25 feet?

Following a fun but somewhat lopsided NBA Finals that saw the San Antonio Spurs bury the Miami Heat with an array of 3-pointers born of artistic ball movement, it's become obvious that the NBA game has fundamentally changed.

Even if Gregg Popovich doesn't like it, threes are becoming far more important a part of the game. On Monday, Grantland's Kirk Goldsberry explored this idea further, wondering aloud if the league faces a competitive issue and what the league would look like with an altered 3-point line.

Goldsberry explains:

Few would argue that the proliferation of 3-point shots is a real problem, but it’s time to at least think about moving back the line as a means to temper the sprawling perimeter development. It’s also harder and harder to justify an extra 50 percent point reward for a shot that has become only marginally more difficult than any other jumper. 

Goldsberry goes on to illustrate what pushing the 3-point line back to 25 feet would do, cutting the amount of threes in half (although players would adjust in some cases by taking a step back) and decreasing the efficacy of threes:

The league would then need to widen the court (allowing for more courtside seats in the process, but also bringing with it quite a pain) or eliminate the corner three.

Perhaps this doesn't even need to be changed, though. The Spurs and Heat had a very entertaining, three-heavy NBA Finals, and teams like Portland and Houston were exciting in large part because of their long-range proficiency. This may be a solution in search of a problem.
