I am not going to climb up into the attic right now, but the "myth" comes from the fact that the marked free throw lane spaces are three feet wide and the width of the throw-in space is also three feet. Realisticly (Did I spell that correctly?) when players line up next to each other, they have defined their spaces around the Center Circle. And therefore there are approximately 12.6 spaces around the Center Circle.
