How the NBA Secretly Changed the Rules

The NBA has quietly unleashed the defense. The league's defensive stoppers are finally unchained, playing with a physicality and intensity not seen in years. No more foul-hunting, grifting or flops- buckets must be truly earned against this new level of overwhelming defensive pressure. The NBA has shifted the balance back between the offense and defense.

Must make sure nobody else reaches 40K points.

[@julianrojas4792]

Make sure the game is fun to watch

[@Love2Musgrave]

Wemby will do it

[@Bapa_nada]

Why 40k? Is there anyobody above 40k that will never be beaten? Im LeUnsure

[@Zett76]

Unimportant. Nobody will worship Westbrook for his incredible amount of triple-doubles either, in 20 years.
In fact, it's almost forgotten TODAY. 😀
And nobody talks about Karl Malone.
At least not in a good way.

[@ConnectFork]

True. When Brons PED abuse comes out that will be all we remember from him.
Similar to how nobody glorifies Malone because of his transgressions

[@liberphilosophus7481]

If they start enforcing walking violations, then the games will improve. It's impossible for teams to play defense if the offensive player is allowed to charge shoulder first into the paint while cradling the ball.

[@mannycavalier]

100% agree!

[@Zett76]

Yes!
I saw some hand checking, recently, and was wondering why there's no whistle...
Thanks for the video, man.

[@chrisschaeffer9661]

I don't want my Center out on the 3 pt line!! I want him in the paint, Dominating, locking shots, changing shots!!! Just need One guy willing to ReLearn the Craft of Low Post basketball. C mon man

[@NSAgent]

Flopping was the reason I stopped watching the NBA for years, anti flopping rule gets implemented and I'm back watching. I'm glad defense is back

[@Bapa_nada]

NBA was at a point that volleyball had more contact allowed, man it was hard to watch

[@Somebody_greek]

Big advantage for Anthony Edwards and Timberwolves. They weren’t getting the calls anyways.
Bias, Bye Ass

[@Luxfer0000]

lol you show Lechoke as an 'elite scorer'.

[@leeswift7883]

LeBron averaged 27 when the Pistons and other top league defenses were holding others under 90 on the regular and he's still getting 27 at damn near 40 - obvious the hate clouds your judgement

[@johnjohnson8364]

😂.....bless your heart ​@@leeswift7883

[@anyiambarnes965]

[@GoDawgs23]

Brother does NOT watch the Thunder lmao. If you think SGA is a foul baiter, you are just admitting you don’t watch. SGA gets so many free throws because he leads all guards in drives, as well as leading the entire league in converted and 1s. He’s getting fouled AND making the shots

[@chrisschaeffer9661]

Players need to Play Thru contact, not Flop when touched. The mentality of the Offese will change to. . KEEP FLOPPING IN SOCCER where it belongs.
