So apparently the rim rule is to avoid injury to either offensive or defensive players. I honestly thought it was for technical issues with the rim being bent etc. lol ever since I saw Shaq break one of them. Lots of Zion in this compilation but my fav is still the 'Melo one where he gets the takeaway to slam.
The rims are designed to bend now and the structural support of the entire basket was reinforced after Shaq bent a couple in his (iirc) rookie year. You can do pretty much whatever you want to an NBA rim/basket now and it will be fine (there are exception though of course).
It’s partially due to avoid injury but actually hanging from the rim prevents injuries and that’s why the refs don’t call technicals on players trying to avoid people underneath them. You failed to mention it’s usually because it’s considered taunting. That’s the actual reason they cracked down on it.
@@PapaGirth69420 Adin mentioned taunting so I didn't bring up something they talked about. I thought the injury thing was more interesting lol since I didn't know it was a factor.
You guys should react to some of Iman Shumperts stories about Lebron or his famous one about Steph, they're very entertaining ! would be good reactions
You are only allowed to hang on the rim if it's to avoid falling and hurting yourself or so you don't land on or injure someone below you. If you do it to show off or taunt, it should be called but if you're LBJ or another star, you might get away with it.
I find it so weird that basketball is so popular over here in the states when football isn’t because I find them both equally entertaining and they are similar in a lot of ways
What's more impressive to me is that he travels more than anybody else but he's LeBron so fk it 😂😂 The clip of him at the very end he moved his pivot foot, he just straight up took a step with the ball then started dribbling again like wtf 😂. It was funny both guys were like, "how'd he slip past him there?" Well, he cheated. That helps lol.
Ya Zach Lavine is still top dunkers still playing. Ask Aaron Gordon another top dunker. Zion is coming up but, these guys will have to do a lot to pass Vince Carter as best dunker imo
