The 1994-1997 Shortened Line Context: To stimulate scoring, the NBA moved the three-point line to a uniform 22 feet all the way around between 1994 and 1997. Scott capitalized masterfully with Orlando's inside-out gravity, draining an NBA single-season record 267 threes in 1995-96—a record that stood untouched for a decade until Ray Allen in 2005-06.
