: that would be "ot dugi"//What you are describing is all "ot dugi". What about shots closer to the center? Will you call them "from the arc"?//Any of that has anything to do with IZ-ZA dugi?

Alexander, if you watch NBA, they never say "from outside the arc", but "from the top of the arc" or "from the left/right wing of the arc" to refer to 3-pointers.+If shots are closer to the center, "3-pointer from near midcourt"
