Why I love the Three Pointer


Many of you may be asking why I am doing a blog about the impact on the three point line in college basketball. Well overall sports are a big influence on my life, as I participate and or am a spectator to sporting events on a daily basis. I started playing basketball at the age of 13, and I was so glad I started because it was the time of my life. I am a fairly short person, so I naturally fell in love with the three point line and focused my time on developing that skill. Since my favorite part of basketball is the three pointer, most of my favorite college players are known sharpshooters. Kyle Korver, Booker Woodfox, Gerry McNamara, T. J. Sorrentine, and Stephen Curry are just a few. I believe the three point line in basketball makes the game even more exciting, and it’s because of the three point line why I love to play and watch basketball.

Draining it from Downtown

Hello everyone! I am Nate Retzlaff and a sophomore from Northwest Missouri State University. I am starting this blog for my English Comp 112 class and I have absolutely no experience with blogs, so it might take me some time to get use to the setup. I am very excited about this blog, because it is so new to me and will be very interesting to maintain a blog.

In this blog I will be talking about the impact of the three point line in college basketball. I will discuss how dramatically the game has change, some of the biggest three pointers ever made, and also the best long distance shooters that have ever stepped on the court. This is a very interesting topic and I hope it is enjoyed by many!
