 Mark Cuban has a suggestion to reintroduce the midrange shot to the NBA game: Move back the 3-point arc.
"It's getting too close," the Dallas Mavericks owner said Friday night of the 3-point arc, which is 23 feet, 9 inches at the crest and 22 feet in the corners, where there is no room to move it back. "Guys are shooting a foot behind it anyways. ... That's something we should look at. It's worth looking at.
"I don't think the number of shots would decline, but I think it would reward skill and open up the court some more. So guys would still take [3-point] shots if it's seven inches back or whatever, but at the same time, it opens up the court for more drives, more midrange game."

yea, this really only benefits him, and I guess low post players who become more valuable. 
 
and you can't really move the corner three back anymore, either.
