Three pointers suck (apparently)
We all remember how well Team USA shot the three at the Olympics - and now here's US basketball's way of fixing the problem. It's easy: just get of the 3-point line! That way we can no longer shoot 3s poorly, because they don't exist.

Based on this, I hereby suggest other ways that US basketball can improve:
*Move backboards to bottom left-hand corner of each baseline, so kids don't need to dribble on their left hand;
*Ball movement, ball reversal, jumpshots and post moves are all banned. The only way people can score is by putting the ball on the floor, trying to break their defender's ankles and then taking it to the rack;
*All international competition is now in street-ball format, with Team USA consisting solely of those clowns from the And 1 videos who can dribble with their elbow, knee or head (often all at once) but can't shoot from outside the keyway.
