“From downtown” is a reference to a player shooting a 3-pointer from around 24 feet.The expression “from way downtown” means that a player is attempting a 3-pointer beyond that 24 feet range. Stephen Curry, who is the best shooter ever, shoots “from way downtown” (around 30 feet) quite often as it is just as easy for him as a free throw is for other NBA players!大概意思就是球员从24英尺(7.3152米)外投三分球都叫“from downtown”补充一下，刚刚又查了一下为啥叫downtown。这种说法来自于70年代，那时候体育馆都在郊区，离市中心远，所以投长距离三分就像从市中心射到体育馆似的。还有个原因是downtown两个音节非常清楚，讲起来很有气势，朗朗上口，所以解说员都喜欢这种说法。
