Soon international basketball will look more like the NBA after a pair of rule changes take effect in 2010, according to the Associated Press.
The three-point line will be moved back and the three-second area will change shape starting in 2010, the FIBA announced on Saturday.
The three-point line will move back to 22 feet, 1.7 inches from 20 feet, 6.1 inches.
The FIBA will also reshape the key area from a trapezoid to a rectangle, as used in the NBA.
