Question

NBA解说中“Downtown”指的是三分球，这种说法有什么来历吗？

Answer 1

Downtown意为三分线以外。downtown这个英语是来自于《NBA爆灌王》。

《NBA爆灌王》《NBA爆灌王》在2010年11月17日全球上市，将推出Xbox 360版和PlayStation 3版，不仅包括公布过的三种模式，而是以完整丰富的游戏内容呈现，更首度以高画质呈现这款经典游戏，还将提供在线游戏机制。

Downtown本意是很远的乡村的意思，形容投球距离很远，难度较大。

Answer 2

Downtown在NBA特指三分线外，是NBA里一个解说发明的，惊叹出手距离篮筐很远

Answer 3

That is when Musburger changed the language of sports forever when he kept repeating this ignorant notion that any basketball player firing off a long 3-point shot is shooting from "downtown." (Celtics announcer Johnny Most might have coined the "downtown" trademark in the 1960s, but it was Musburger who beat it to death.) I still hear in my dreams his wild gibberish every time Michael Cooper or Dennis Johnson drilled one of those long flat-line 3-pointers. "From way downtown!" Brent would scream. "Another one from Downtown!" It drove me mad then -- & it still does every time some fool blurts it out. It was quickly picked up and adopted by a whole generation of half-bright TV commentators every night of the bloody season. It has become part of the Lexicon now, & it will not be easy to correct. In gyms & Coliseums all over America (even in Greece or Korea), wherever basketball as we know it is played, there will be some howling Jackass braying, "From way downtown! Another 3-pointer! Is this a great country, or what?"
是谁先说有争议，但是60年代就有这个说法了。
