Mark Cuban has a pretty interesting statistical article up showing just how valuable the three from the corner is in the NBA. The three point line on the sides is shorter than the top, with the corner being the closest.
Cuban’s stats show that the league hits 37.6% from the corner vs. 33.6% from the long portion of the line. That’s a pretty significant difference. You can be sure that NBA teams use that in their strategies.
BTW, does anyone else find it amusing that Mark Cuban is incapable of posting without several typos/spelling errors/grammatical mistakes (they often get slowly cleaned up a few days after posting)? I guess my high school teachers were wrong. You can be a billionaire without solid writing skills.
