How Does It Work?"},"content":{"rendered":"

The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game introduced the 4-Point Shot for the very first time in league history. This kind of long-range scoring opportunity has never existed in professional basketball before. The maximum a player before could get was a three point shot while shooting beyond the arc.<\/p>

AT&T, the presenting sponsor of the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, partnered with the league to implement the 4-Point Shot. And the effect of it was already visible through the weekend game which saw high scores from both Team Clark and Team Collier.<\/p>

How Does a 4-Point Shot Work?<\/h2>

Four circles are placed on the court, two on each side marking the official 4-Point zones. These are just behind the three point arc and are called AT&T 4-Point area. Each zone is 28 feet from the rim. If a player shoots from within the circle and scores, their team earns four points.<\/p>

These four points are awarded to the individual player as well as the team. Each 4-point shot triggered a donation from AT&T to charities chosen by players and supported by the WNBA. This added purpose to the new invention.<\/p>
