The PBA might be trying to set an example by implementing the 4-point play rule, hoping it could inspire other leagues, including the NBA, to consider similar changes. Even though the NBA, the most popular basketball league globally, has not yet implemented this rule despite previous rumors, the PBA can take pride in being the first to adopt it.
This is delusional tbh, NBA will not adopt a new rules set by minor league basketball because they are the role model. 4pt system is a laughing stock especially implemented by a country which 3 points accuracy is not that high compared to other nationality.
PBA just want tot create a hype on the Philippines viewer since they knew that viewership is already not that high anymore.
In my opinion, this rule change won't significantly alter the league dynamics as the PBA is still dominated by a few teams owned by major companies. Real growth in the PBA will come when they address and eliminate this monopoly, creating a more competitive and balanced league.
Definitely, Besides whose team in PBA can dominate a 4 points range? I believe defender will just focus on rebound if they knew someone will attempt to shoot in 4.
