three-point line
Perimeter scoring boundary
The three-point line is the arc painted on a basketball court beyond which field goals count for three points instead of two.
Its distance from the basket varies by league—farther in the NBA than in college or high school.
A shooter must have both feet behind the line when releasing the ball: He stepped back behind the three-point line and let it fly.
