1. The NBA will break a 3-point barrier
It's no secret the 3-point rate has soared over the past decade, but lately it hit a plateau. In the 2020-21 season, teams took 39.2% of their shots from beyond the arc. That went up to 39.9% during the following year, then dropped. Last season, the number nudged down to 39.5%. After years of rapid growth, the league reached a tipping point where the exponential rise started to level off.
