In standard basketball, a made shot from more than 25 feet away is usually worth 3 points , as long as the shooter is behind the three‑point line when they release the ball.

A few quick clarifications:

  • The exact distance of the three‑point line depends on the level:
    • NBA: about 23 ft 9 in at the top of the arc.
* College and international: slightly shorter; still around the low‑20‑foot range.
  • So a “more than 25 feet” shot in normal games is well beyond the arc and still counts as a three‑pointer, not more than 3 points.
  • There is no official rule set (NBA, FIBA, NCAA, high school) that awards extra points just for being, say, 30 or 35 feet out; anything beyond the three‑point line is still 3 points.

TL;DR: A made shot from more than 25 feet away is worth 3 points in regulated basketball games.
