The 10 BIGGEST Rule Changes in NBA History! 

Namtsu D man....that time is almost near huh

Namtsu D prob not lebron because we all know how good he is

He almost already did a how good was Chris Paul actually, he just didn’t call it that. When did all these players get old? (Looks in mirror) oh no...

@@michaelboyles714 haha

The derrick rose one gonna hit

Da goat

If you need to ask how good Andy is you need to get your life in check the answer is obvious

Life's Failure it’s a joke chill out bruh.

I'm getting more confused about flopping nowadays

Even travelling has become subjective now a days..! smh

Yeah same bro

Why does these comments makes me think of james.. the hardened ones

Curry did exactly hardens step back in a game and got called. WTF?

Yet we always hear how unstoppable Mike was or how he'd score 100 in today's league.

@@blinblinthing well, he kinda do. Guards thrive these days and MJ is a guard. Wider lanes without illegal defense and no more hand-checking. The game in the old times rely heavily on bigs, so that's not a surprise. If you have a dominating center back then, then he will get the ball almost everytime. In the earliest times, just like today, they also play without hand checking. Remember, hand-checking was introduced in the 70s and removed in the 2000s.

@@Somm_RJ we saw guys like Kobe and Iverson play with and without hand checking....there was no significant improvement for them....🤷🏿‍♂️

Jay Waz not even LeBron or Kawhi hell even Jordan could guard him.

@@12savage68 I love how you conveniently ignored the other parts of my comments. The only post-player to win the MVP since the change is Nowitzki, which is only part-time post-player. It was an even spread of bigs and perimeter players in the scoring leaders before the change. Tony Parker led the league in points in the paint. Guard's scoring went up after the change. Unassisted field goals went up. Iso ball era. Team-scoring league-wide increased by 4 points. Detroit Pistons (2003-2004 Champion) went from legendary defensive team to elite defensive team after the rule changed. The reason why the 2 players you mentioned did not improve significantly is that they chose not to shoot more.

or else the NBA would have gone out of business.

It would be teams passing it around 50 times in one possession like before they had the shot clock. Watching clips of that period doesn't even look like basketball lol.

hell yeah to this video

Omfg yes and I'm all about him and the braves

Heat. Very Underrated

@@timhoward5 having seen both enough as good as KD..same height same extension carazy handles for his era and a better jump shot as well..didnt have a game from outside the 3 zone but noone did at the time...

@@andreaspapadakis2602 Exactly!

No

@@Letthat After Hakeem you lost all credibility... Hakeem is top 2, not sure if Scottie is even top 5, Rodman is top 5 but the other ones you tried too much to look different but now you look hella dumb

I would not put Hakeem top 5. Bill Russell yes. MJ. Wilt ?, then ? ?

@@Johnkoth top 5: Bill Hakeem Rodman Mutombo MAYBE Pippen

Rodman did a better job on Shaq than Hakeem did. Hakeem is no #2.

24 second clock turnovers, shot attempts and higher scores. More fans of NBA too

@@Johnkoth I can see how people thought 24 would be too fast, but it was a great change. I am probably a bigger CBB fan and probably prefer the 30 second shot clock with a more slow it down pace, but I think 24 fits the NBA better with a faster pace

That be painfully boring 😴 if I watched a game where players just held the ball for 5 minutes

24s was drastic when it goes from infinite time to 24. NCAA player sometime aint able to get good shot for 30s.

it wasnt fully removed. Only in the closing minutes of quarters.

Its a dumb rule.

TheCategor Hand Checking needs a return and 3 second defensive violation should be abolished

Pistons abused the fact they could beat the shit out of Jordan had to be done

I/diot

That’s a good one

Lebron KING James He’s buns

2011 finals

That's not how this works find a email

the 48 bullets won a title without a 13.5 ppg scorer..thats how bad the baa and nbdl were back then ....thats why the shot clock rule had to be made...thats just nonsense to win a title without a true go to scorer at all?.you all can just score 2-12 as a team and win a title?...stupid...

ajztdauz I’ll get you banned from RU-vid

Gordon Tseng People just ran zones anyway

kobe and t mac got lucky cause the nba got rid of hand checking right after they allowed zone defense for real....kobe and t mac in 2004-2008 had great seasons cause of this when healthy....they looked like superstars even after the got older cause the league allowed them to shoot freely after they played in their primes against it...total b.s....it also opened a shorter player like d wade or curry or ai to still be able to dominate so ai did not age fast like he would of if hand checking was still allowed..his prime like many perimeter player's primes was extended due to this rule...which makes mj even more impressive .....if only zone defense was allowed when he played..thats really the only rule he exploited a little...everything else went against him in his era

@@razkable Is there any difference btw had checking era vs when it was removed? What was the avg score to win a game when it was implemented vs after? Any evidence it made it harder?

That's what would happen in the 90s if a team was up by three, they would foul any three point shooter. I even remember some almost tackles to make sure they didn't hit the shot.

Rodmon once said he thought that was how you play basketball

IN ED If you get stopped by Hand Checking after 2010 nigga you suck 😂

For all the people who don’t know what idgaf means it’s i don’t give a fuck

@@TyBrezzy11 cant no nigga hold me.

@@TyBrezzy11 you are indian who tf gave you the n word pass

the malice incident has no correlation to hand checking.

@@TheIcemanthomas The former NBA Commissioner David Stern wants his league to have clean & fair games after that incident (i.e., he doesn't want Hooliganism in the NBA) so that hand checking should be forbid to use & he'd also increased the penalties on technical foul & even introduced the flagrant foul calls (in the case of FIBA, its called unsportsmanship foul). The Bad Boys Pistons in the 80s had introduced the hand checking method & it was a dirty move for some of the NBA Players like Larry Bird & Micheal Jordan.

Thats why steph curry is dominating from 3pt line

They need to get rid of defensive 3 second rule, that would change the game completely and carry it back to the old days. And they to get rid of the 5 second rule, they also need to carry back Hand Checking

Iso is fun boring just watching thr same shot over and over. W

its fluff man. NBA exploded because of social media and not because of rule changes. The social media gives fluff and excites people from a shallow standpoint. Nobody is playing D when the score is above 110. DPOY is still worth even? How are you an athlete when a grade 8 basketball player can do what you are best at in an NBA court (3 pointers). How is that more impressive than somebody dunking on your center and your power forward while being hacked by your shooting guard on his way up? how is a step back to create space more impressive than a lean back fadeway jumper. its the fluff of social media that helped the explosion of the NBA. Gah! these NBA players are getting payed more for doing a lot less...

So no more step back jumpers?

They can have their arm on you (bent elbow, not stiff-arm) if you're posting up below the free throw circle (I think). However, they shouldn't be shoving you, but should be holding their position. I might as well add that this applies to rebounding as well. I see a lot of lazy players 'boxing out' by stiff-arming and shoving rather than getting in proper position with their feet and blocking with their bodies. One way to combat aggressive post defense like that is initiating contact once to get a feel for their positioning (unless they're already right up on you when receiving the ball), then spinning off them on the next initiation in anticipation of their 'push.'

@@xStokelyx Thanks Steven, Andy pointed out such a good point, let us watch new season of NBA to see if any one actually use elbow against post-up guys. I mean it is obviously that the NBA has become more guard/shooting centric, which is not a bad thing IMO. I am not tall but relatively strong as a guard, so I post up on almost every first possesion of a pick-up game or last possesion, totally catch them off guard. ;p

If the offensive player fakes and the defense jumps, whos fault is that? The defense. Thats a clear foul, the defense is completely blocking the offensive players drive.

not necessarily. Smaller courts, mean mess spacing. Which gives kobe less room to operate. Theoretically that means it would be harder for him to score not easier.

Dwayne Carter that was 200 IQ

don't jump into him

Someone didn’t watch the whole video

Reduced? Once possession didn't change, the shot clock kept counting down .

Rox Unlimited I’ll get you banned from RU-vid for not answering the question properly

That’s because of Defensive 3 second, your not allowed to play in the paint unless your guarding a player I think it it dumb

It still was illegal tho.
