Is the 3-point line the same distance for both?? I was watching SportsCenter and the NCAA line looked alot shorter!

I think the 3-point for college is right against the circle, whereas in the NBA, it's 2 or so feet behind. I KNOW someone will correct me!!

I found this on answerbag.com, "The 3-point line varies from different areas on the court. In the NBA the 3 point line is furthest away at the top of the key where it is 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the basket. The shortest distance is near the baseline on either side where it is exactly 22 feet away from the center of the basket. In the NCAA the 3-point line 19 feet 9 inches away."

i personally watch both but i enjoy NBA way way way much more. and yeah NBA 3 point line is farther away from the basket than the NCAA and i think the international 3 point line is even farther away... i remember them saying that in the olympics and how the NBA should make the rules and the lines the same as the international so the players would have an easier transition
