Three Point Mania

I wonder if whoever came up with the idea of the three point shot, looks at the present day game and regrets it now? I'm lacking actual research and statistical numbers but it 'feels' like it's about 50-75% of the game. Sometimes it feels like I'm watching a pinball game instead of a basketball game. It's certainly a much different game than what I grew up with and most of the time, that's not a good thing. I'm all for a rule change limiting the number of attempts. Maybe five or six attempts per half.
