Yep, definitely gets harder the further somebody is. Looks like the relationship is pretty linear. At some distance (just over maximum throw distance) accuracy would approach zero.
Increased Distance of Shooting on Basketball Jump Shot
The present study analyzed the effect of increased distance on basketball jump shot outcome and performance. Ten male expert basketball players were filmed and a number of kinematic variables analyzed during jump shot that were performed from three conditions ...

"So the league adopted a novel solution. In an effort to neutralize the physicality teams like those Knicks played with, the NBA incentivized 3-point shooting by moving the line ahead of the '94-95 season. The arc typically stretches to 23 feet, nine inches, but is not uniform. In the corners, the distance between it and the basket is only 22 feet. The NBA decided to redraw the arcs so that they sat 22 feet away from the basket across the board.
In some ways, the results exceeded the NBA's wildest expectations. The average NBA team attempted 9.9 3-pointers per game during the 1993-94 season and made 33.3 percent of them. A year later, those numbers jumped to 15.3 and 35.9, respectively, but as incredible as that leap seems, the improvements were even more pronounced in players.
Consider Michael Jordan. Never known for his long-range marksmanship, His Airness made only 30.1 percent of the 955 3-point attempts he took before his first retirement. From his second return until the line was eventually moved back, he shot 40.4 percent on 589 attempts."

As Jordan got much older he had to develop the outside shot. He simply couldn't take it to the rim like he could when he was in his prime.

Blake Griffin - took 0.3 three points shots per game when he started in the NBA in 2010-2011. Ten years later, he now takes 6.8 three point shots per game (more than the 4.5 two point attempts per game). Same reason as MJ (getting older, can't get to the rim), but even in the past ten years, the game has changed. Thanks Golden State!

We'd have to get to the Championship game in both the conference tourney and the NCAA...and he's have a shot.
He needs 39 with 7 regular season games left. Wining one in each tournament would give him 11 more games. That's barely over 3.5 per game. That would be tough, bit is doable. When 2 in each tournament and he needs exactly 3 per game. Im guessing that's close to what he's averaging so far this year.
