I mean I have been playing basketball for years (not fiba but court is always international rules similar to FIBA court rather then NBA court since its Australia) and feel that the 3pt line is the same distance from the corner to the 45 to the top. Is that the truth or is it just something that im feeling?

I think it's actually 21 feet 10 inches at the corner in FIBA. Some sources say it's a 4 inch difference, but I don't think that's right.

The corner 3 is almost non-existent in any FIBA basketball game, because there is no room to shoot it. It's certainly non-existent in the Euroleague, where you basically never see any.
