they start above the blocks? i never thought of that. do they do the same in high school?

so you're telling me you've never seen any marks for high school or college when watching an nba game? what about the narrower lane boundary lines (lanes are narrower in high school and college i believe), which are extremely obvious? even if a college team doesn't play there, they will still put them there i believe, because eventually a high school or college team will play there for some reason.
