View Full Version : Virtual 3 point line
Spurs m8

Spurs Vs Cavs is the first game, could be awesome, could be terrible, we'll see....
The 3-point line will virtually light up during Saturday prime-time NBA broadcasts on ABC this season.
ESPN said Thursday that it is using new technology to show viewers when a player attempts a jumper from beyond the 3-point arc. "ESPN Virtual 3" will debut for Saturday's matchup between the Cavaliers and Spurs.
For a made 3-pointer, the line will briefly remain lit up. For a miss, the illumination will end immediately.
Senior coordinating producer Tim Corrigan says "it will give viewers instant clarity on whether a 3-point shot has been attempted, which hasn't been consistently evident during a live telecast."

They should allow for the cheerleaders to come out on the court to do a celebration every time someone gets posterized.

wow i'm so gratefully. I had no idea when people were attempting three pointers. and waiting the half second to see if three points was added to the scoreboard just isn't ideal in this day and age, I should I have instant gratification.

The thick line painted on the ground was clearly inadequate.
This innovation will clearly stand the test of time just like the puck streak in hockey.

You have to give ESPN credit, they add a completely ridiculous, asinine, unnecessary graphic to their broadcast, and lo and behold they have people talking about it and are more likely to watch the game now to see it. I used to think ESPN was a terrible network with stupid ideas like this, well they're still terrible but this is another genius ploy by them, cause bad publicity is better than no publicity.

the funny thing is thats actually a sick idea
and when a team hits 3 unanswered shots in a row then LED lights in the mesh make it seem like the net catches on fire
would be funny for allstar games at the very least
