Cucumber is my favorite fruit.

I dislike the phrase "asking for a friend".  I have no clue where that arose, or why, I think it's stupid, don't you?  (AFAF).

I think it arose for the exact reason that it's used for humor today... People wanted to ask a question about something potentially embarrassing or personal but didn't want to expose that they were asking because of their own need.

So they start a conversation with "So I've got this friend that X, and he/she is trying to figure out what to do", etc etc etc. 

And in the other person's mind was always, "yeah, right, your 'friend' needs this answer? Suuuure..."

So it became a joke. You're "asking for a friend" but with a wink you're basically admitting you're asking for yourself.

or just eliminate the 3-point line

At least that would end the chuck up long shots offense but I do like rewarding lower percentage shots to some extent. Another solution would be to make it more gradual:

• In the paint, 1 point
• Paint to 2' beyond current 3 point line, 2 points
• 2' beyond current line, 3 points

Then you could keep the rims at 10'.

3 point line is half court

anyone touching the rim is basket interference - no dunks

Shocking. The guy who is usually the most noncommittal to any position in just about every debate thread ever, has the most tasteless possible favorite fruit.

I often can be somewhat commital at times, it may seem like I'm not always because of how I tend to lean on parsing positions slightly so as to consider all sides of any discussion.

Even your denial of being non-commital, is non-commital.

I thought baseball was superior to cricket, but then I watched people playing cricket in the park and they appeared to be having fun, which isn't something I've seen in baseball.
