The free throw line is 2 inches by 12 feet, situated at the top of the lane/key. The back of the three throw line is 15 feet form the backboard/ 13 feet 9 inches from the center of the basket. (Distances are measured horizontally).
With basketball, a game will average about 45-50 free throws per game (total, not for each team) which eats up about 25 minutes of time. Although the clock isnât moving, I think itâs still action, so for me a basketball game has well over an hour of actual playing time, despite the game time being 48 minutes.
