 <translate> In the 1979 -- 80 season, after having tested it in the previous pre-season, the NBA adopted the three-point line despite the view of many that it was a gimmick. Chris Ford of the Boston Celtics is widely credited with making the first three-point shot in NBA history on October 12, 1979, a game more noted for the debut of Larry Bird (and two new head coaches). Rick Barry of the Houston Rockets, in his final season, also made one in the same game, and Kevin Grevey of the Washington Bullets made one that Friday night as well.

When did the nba have a 3 point line? Let's have some stream of consciousness first. <yor> Ní ọdún 1979 sí ọdún 1980, lẹ́yìn tí wọ́n ti dán an wò ní ọdún tí wọ́n ti ń múra fún ìdíje, àjọ NBA ṣe àtúnṣe sí ìlà ìlà ìlà ìlà mẹ́ta láìka èrò tí ọ̀pọ̀ èèyàn ní sí pé ó jẹ́ ẹ̀tàn.
