3, 2, 1 scoring
Since we are talking about changes to the game, I'll advocate a 3,2,1 scoring system. I'm sick of seeing the game taken over by huge players. I enjoy the speed, skill, and passing. I could care less about dunks and big post players.
Therefore, I say keep the three point shot and the two pointer, but simply make any shot from inside the lane (whether it is a rectangle, trapezoid, or semi-cirlce) worth only one point. That's right a dunk would be worth just one freakin' point! Take that Shaq. The big guys would have to learn to shoot the mid-range jumper again.
They would still be worth something for rebounding, but the shooters would return to the primary position of focus in the game.
PS Whether the shot is a one or a two is determined the same way as a two or a three. If both feet aren't entirely out of the lane when the shot is taken, it's worth only one. Yes, you could make a two point dunk if you can jump that far.
