The four-point line is polarizing.
That said, it did generate buzz.
It also created a new dimension on how basketball is done.
For the haters, I will spam this YouTube clip on how the three-point line was first introduced. I will also make a blog about the weirdest basketball rules, no thanks to one of my buddies. I could have worked on this had not for my work commitments.
Anyway, I will have a weekly post on my blog where I list the PBA's four-point goals.
HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER
There is a reason why Blackwater is NOT in the cellars right now. They went from ineffective former NBA player Ricky Ledo to effective former NBA player George King.
This is only King's third game with the Bossings, and he has given the squad its third consecutive win against the likes of Ginebra, Phoenix, and NLEX.
He is also averaging 2.3 4-point shots per game. In terms of volume, he has this in him. Jerrick Ahanmisi, the overall leader, averages 1.6 makes per game. Scotty Hopson, who is tied for second place averages 1.4 quads per game. RR Garcia, who is in solo third, has 1.2 4-pointers made per game.
So yeah, what George King is doing right now is downright crazy.
