It allows more space, and at the end of the day, a lot of us [in the NBA] shoot deep threes anyways. It&#x27;s kind of a bad shot in the NBA if you take a deep shot from that far because the three-point line is just right there, but a lot of us can shoot from that far.&quot;</p><p>Aside from this, Kuzma explained how it can create more stories in the NBA, and also quipped about how Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry would personally benefit from it. </p><p>&quot;I think it would be more dramatic in the NBA, and fans would like it too,&quot; said Kuzma. &quot;Steph would probably have more points too,&quot; he joked. </p><div><span></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/h4oI69HIERE?&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span></div>
