Should the NBA increase the width of the court?
Current dimensions are 94 x 50 ft
There is a growing amount of players stepping out of bounds when shooting the 3 in the corner pocket when they are pump faking the closeout defender and driving to the hoop.
IMO they should make the 3pt (23' 9") extend its half circle all the way to the baseline. Which should increase the width of the court by around 5 ft.
new dimensions 94 x 55 ft and make the 3 pointer a bit tougher. It also opens up space for the big men to do their thing down low.
Lets face it, place are bigger and stronger and quicker than before, its time they made the playing field a bit bigger as well....
Thoughts?

agreed

Must be true, if it's a rumor you read on Hoopshype.
