    Formula 1 2024: Ferrari's Return to Glory. Possibly. Ok, Unlikely.

    Is the 3-point line ruining basketball?

    Sorry, I haven't followed this subforum in a while, so maybe this has been covered, but I came across this video. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p3NIR8LYoo I think the strongest argument against the 3-pointer is that it becomes the dominant strategy; ideally you want a game, where's...
