Corner Three
The corner three-point shot is 22 feet away from the basket – 1.75 feet closer than a normal three-pointer – but counts for the same number of points, making it the most statistically efficient shot in the game of basketball. A lot of sports news and media today is based off of unproven opinion and fallacy, but sports is truly more than meets the eye. Welcome to The Corner Three Show! Hosted by Derek Reifer and RJ Garcia of CornerThree.net, we’ll discuss basketball and more from a statistical point of view, and always find time for a fantasy draft.
