Which nba team is better spurs or rockets?

The spurs are a very good and consistant team. In 2011, they were the number one ranked team in the west and second overall behind the chicago bulls. When the two teams mached up, the spurs would win the majority of the games. However, in 2012, the tides have shifted. The Oklahome City Thunder are the top team in the western division. But the spurs are number two. The last time that the two teams played, the San Antonio Spurs won. Overall, I would say that the spurs are better. If the two teams met eachother in the Confrence Finals or Semi-finals, it would be a good game. Overall I would say the Spurs are better but the thunder have the best player on the floor.

When was the 3-point lined introduced?

The three-point line was added to my high school basketball court my senior year. That was the 1987-88 season. I remember this because we did not have enough girls to fill a varsity team and I never got the opportunity to shot a 3 pointer and of course I was an outside shooter. There is no telling how many 3 pointers I shoot before the line was adopted into the high schools.
