Statistical calculations were carried out using STATISTICA software package. Results. Statistically significant differences in frequency of three-point field goal attempts between seasons taken in consideration were revealed by Friedman’s ANOVA. Results also showed that the biggest increase of frequency of three-point shots was between 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons after the most successful regular season in NBA history by Golden State Warriors.
