Why Is It Called A Trifecta?
Outside of basketball, a trifecta is defined as when a person places a bet or predicts correctly the first three finishers in a race, therefore scoring a perfect trifecta. Somewhere over the course of the history of the game of basketball, trifecta was expanded to mean making a three-pointer. The similarities between the two scenarios is that it refers to “making” or being “correct” on a denomination three. In basketball, this three refers to the amount of points the player earns on the basket.
