NBA Shooting Rules to Change for Summer League (Trae Young In Trouble)

[Professor Emeritus]

Watch the second video I've edited into my post and it's almost comical how he does it in the exact same way every time

Found a video of Stockton pulling the arm-hook:




Whole sequence is Stockton dirty plays and flopping. Elimination game and Stockton only shot 1-12 from the field but 10-11 from the line and got both Maxwell and J-Will in foul trouble. Overtime game too, Kings would have won if not for that bullshyt. (Thought their horrendous fukking shooting didn't help either. Divac 4-11, Webber 5-17, team 6-29 on threes....against a meh defensive squad whose starting lineup was Bryon Russell, Greg Ostertag, and 3 guys in their late 30s.)

With all the nonsense that was posted during the Olympics, the fact that folks were campaigning that Trae should've been selected was the most wild shyt of all. Just a complete lack of awareness of how Trae's game wouldn't translate, and the fact that he would've been targeted on defense on every possession.

Good. This is how the game moves forward.

New rule is implemented (give space for shooters to land).
Refs blow their whistles out of fear of not getting calls right.
Rule is modified/specified so that players can't take advantage of referees' fear

Bout time…. If this had been around we’d have to examine that GS era a Lil more closely

 

[Guile]

Liangelo had no issues.

 

[Cladyclad]

I know this gonna hurt y’all but all the guys y’all think this will hurt. It’s not gonna stop them one bit

 

[Hey_zeus]

Good shyt was nauseating

CP3 and Harden mastered all that before Trae got to the league yet for some reason folks here want to focus on Trae.

A lot of cats are legit mad Trae Young not a bust. So they like to believe foul calls are the reason why he is not a bust

 

[Ironman]

Will they actually enforce it

he’s been targeted on defense since he came to the nba

he still puts up 30 ppg & 10 apg.

nikkas really think he gets all his points from the free throw line?

I don't see how that is relevant to the point about him not being suited to international play, in this context of playing at this Olympics. And I don't quite know where you're getting 30 and 10 from because those aren't his #s, never mind the fact he wouldn't be able to monopolize the ball to put up high volume stats, anyway. He would've been more of a hindrance than anything to Team USA.

It's ridiculous that anyone thought he would've added anything to the team.

This includes a large percentage of the NBA, some of the coli's favorites as well

We all watched those games and saw how the team desperately needed someone who was willing to be a facilitator other than Draymond. I see an addition right there, plus he actually does have a good midrange game. In no way, shape, or form would Trae have been worse than Dame.
