fucked up

it depresses me

@@fennisdembo34 Impossible to watch indeed. I feel you...

I disagree with many of the things that you said. One of the myths is the current generation of players are more athletic more talented than ever. WRONG. It's easy to seem athletic when there is no defence around you. But the various Bancheros and Wembys wouldn't survive a minute against the Karl Malones, Michael Cages and Rick Mahorns of the past.

Refs should at least call illegal screening and travelling...

Good point. Honestly, just look at fiba rules and there are a bunch of good ideas there.

I honestly believe that would make the game way more interesting. As well as the number of games. The NBA has enough talent/skill/athleticism to still have 100+ games. And big centers might have a place in the league again

@@AugustasSuliauskas Agreed 💯 percent. If there was a concern before that offenses would be boring, they've evolved so much that taking out that rule will not suffocate games too much. What would happen if they remove it, I think the power drivers like Giannis and LeBron will be less efficient. So my theory is that they will not take that rule out until Lebron retires, since his shot chart is getting more and more simplified (bunch of layups and occasional three pointer). I can not claim this 100 percent, but let's see. P.S. I've posted here youtube link to D'Antoni's interview but it got deleted, I don't know why.

Not sure on this one. If applied, there would be much less drives/dunks/layups and more mid-range/3pt attempts. And since circus layups and dunks are the only highlight material worth watching these days, I'm not sure if removing def 3s would be good for the NBA, and they know it. IMO, nothing can revert the NBA to the previous state. Basketball has evolved to this, 3pt is worth the most and it is better to shoot 10x 3pt than any other shot. So everyone started shooting. If you can't shoot, you need to be athletic. 90% of current players are in these two categories, if not both. Rest of the league are niche players that have a specific role, but they don't get that many minutes typically. Euro basketball all the way! Hope it won't evolve like NBA did.

@@divkovic14 People are getting fed up with dunks highlights. The game is becoming too boring and something needs to be done about it. I think they will wait for Lebron to retire and then go for an experiment.

or they are not able to inbounce the ball and call another timeout

Phil Jackson during a time out : “iso for Michael on the elbow”

​@@rafikz77yes. It is how you win a game consistently owned by top 5 players. Euroleague doesn't have enough talent to understand.

Brad Stevens was a master at drawing after time-outs plays, its a waste that he is in the front office now

Players are totally incapable of fighting through a ball screen. It's like taking your shoes off inside a house in Korea, it's just customary and expected to switch. To not do so would be consider rude. Almost unthinkable. And anyone close up to a jumpshooter is getting called for a foul because the shooter is gonna spazz out like he just got tased.

Yep! I agree.

I don’t understand why traveling doesn’t get called. I understand the “rule” that if you dunk it then it isn’t traveling, at least that’s cool.

this

​​@@Violaphobiayou just summed it up. Not calling travels makes for more highlights. It's people like you who are to blame lol even when going for a dunk a travel should be called

Traveling wasn't really ever called in the Pro game but yeah, it has gotten worse.

Great point

Todays NBA games are like video games.

Did you notice that in the first quarter or what lol they do sweat every game

Air conditioning has improved in modern arenas, helping players sweat LESS, although they do still sweat later in the game and when they have played more minutes.

Not a big fan of Dennis Rodman but he worked harder in practice than these guys do in game.

They also need to add more reasons for fouls. Also increase instant replay challenges

huddles after every play like football!

It would also be great if they had an extended hour-long meet-and-greet session with the fans to sign autographs at halftime. They could also stand to have some raffles and silent auctions announced between plays, longer intermissions, and national anthems sung for each player's home country at the start of each game.

@@RavenMobile At the halftime show, every single play of the game is analyzed for at least 2 minutes each.

Changing the shotclock from 24 seconds to 3 minutes.

Id give your comment 10 likes if I could. When the ball handler can take 2-3 steps without a dribble because they're carrying the ball this gives the impression of better athleticism. There are countless clips of players going from the 3 pt line to the rim with 1-2 dribbles. Traveling is non existent too. It's all become so absurd. And yes the moving screens are a joke. You even have guys blatantly lowering their shoulder and using their forearm with their momentum while setting screens to know the hell out of defenders. And it's rarely ever called. You can think Adam Silver for the monstrosity that is the NBA now.

This 👆....bring back hand checking and let them actually play defense. There's less effort to close out on shooters for fear of "taking away their landing zone" and getting called for a foul, sometimes a flagrant 1. It's not that these players are just so much better than 10 years ago, defense gets penalized for most of the contact even when the offensive player is clearly the aggressor. So sick of watching offensive players bulldoze their way to the basket and getting favorable foul calls, when the defender is back pedaling with his hands straight up in the air.

​​@@brandongrabel6307i love how the nba commissioner himself said they were changing the rules specifically to make the game easier for offensive players. Now a decade later, you have many people claiming players are just better today... I feel bad for ray allen and reggie miller when people say steph is the greatesr shooter ever, i felt bad for kareem when lebron passed his score. Look how irritated kareem looks when he passes that ball to lebron. Maybe curry is a better shooter then ray or reggie, but they arent playing the same game so how exactly does someone make that statement without any mention of the rule changes.

@@asdfghjkllkjhgfdsa8725 agreed, I can't imagine steph having the same effect in the Reggie Miller era. Obviously he'd still be a great shooter, but would he be able to do it at the same rate in a more physical game at his size? Maybe he could, though the fear of giving up a 4 point play was a lot less back then. I think we can thank Reggie for starting the sticking out of the leg on a jump shot to create contact lol.

@@brandongrabel6307 if it were more blatant, like for example say they widen the rim by a foot. We wouldnt be saying oh players are just better shooters today. We would say no, they widened the rim by a freakin foot, ofc they shoot better. At least most of us would. I can understand kids and people who didnt know baketball until recently. But when i hear people like kevin garnett saying the players today are just better, i want to tell him kevin, you were a shooting big man who could handle the ball decently. You dont think you could dominate under these soft rules?

💯💯 and everyone who keeps watching it is to blame as well

I think the rules for traveling need to be updated. All these different moves like the euro and the double step back take advantage of dribbling rules and things would change if those rules are changed. So remove def 3 rule, hand checking, and change dribbling and things would change quickly back toward defenses.

​@@Anim3Gamertoo many and1 wannabes watch to ever enforce the rules

​@@Anim3Gamer they updated the rules which is why you see all the nonsense. In the past all those would have rightfully been called traveling. Elgin Baylor was dazzling with the _Eurostep_ back in the 1960s.

They don't allow hand checking? You can put your hands all over everyone and it never gets called.

@@InfiniteQuest86 There are levels to hand checking. Hand checking in the late 80s and early 90s allowed you to push on the offensive players hip fully extended, I remember correctly. But at all falls under the hand checking rule.

@@chrisguevara Maybe this doesn't carry over to varsity (high school) which I see way more of. Literally every kid has their hands all over the offensive player. Both hands at once. One hand at a time. Reaching in for the ball. Pushing on their back and hips. Like nothing happening out there resembles anything stated in the rule book.

Let white people play too

make the court smaller in dimmensions as well like Europe and also eliminate corner threes.

What exactly were the rules that nerfed defense? I've never seen them explained.

3 second rule in the paint@@Knightmessenger

​@@Knightmessenger handchecking being removed and leniency on travels/carries

@@Knightmessenger defense never used to have to worry about how long they are in the paint, the 3 second in the paint defense rule is new, it used to just apply to offense

@@emiliothepoethow do his balls taste?

​@@emiliothepoetget the hate out your heart.

@@emiliothepoet LeBron will never foul out ever. He has too much IQ. He can read the defense better than anyone in the league, even the coaches.

The 3 pointer became too efficient. It is now just as efficient for some players to take a contested 3 as a contested layup.

I agree totally. What happens if we get rid of the three point line entirely and all baskets are two points? A game of basketball might break out. Simple solution to vastly improve the game. I can't see a downside.

@@warpeace8891then it would be the same problem centered around layups

@@thequiethypemedia - I am no expert, and maybe you are right but I don't see how. There will always be an advantage of shooting from range because it can give time and space that is not available in the key. Encouraging more action closer to the bucket is good for everyone.

I had them in mind to mention during the video and now I'm sad I forgot to actually do it. One of a few teams showing you can be successful with a different style in the NBA. Surprise of the season so far

@@marcozambelli3642 you are right, seems Like Players who played the world Cup experienced what Teamplay and hard defense can do to level up their games. For Orlando, Paolo, Franz, Mo, Goga and Joe played and for the wolves Towns, Edwards, Anderson, Gobert all did too.

​@@AugustasSuliauskasmaybe a Video Idea how NBA Players and Teams can benefit from international Play (Like the world Cup). Markanen, Towns, Schröder, Edwards, Mo Wagner, Franz, Banchero, Bogdanovic they improved so much by playing internationaly. Got their comfidence up and play really good as a result. The top two suprises of the year have each 5 Players who played the WC

Even to someone who started watching in the late 2000s this shit is getting lame

The league is only entertaining if you find following the players on social media entertaining.

Regular season games used to be way more entertaining to watch. Players like Kobe would never take a regular season games off.

The most Boring BBall ever. And I've been watching since 79.

Dallas mavericks with Steve Nash way before them. The warriors under Don Nelson before them with Baron Davis running small ball. Steph is one of the greatest shooters ever and was the first to master 80 feet behind the line. But plenty of teams were run and gun offense before the current Dubs team.

@@robertpalmatier2699Eh, Warriors are not run and gun. Those older teams were more like "Put up more shots asap" like older basketball games from the 60s. Warriors try to get better shots with tons of ball movement but have an offensive howitzer in Steph who can just put a goofy shot up from anywhere and make it seem run and gun. Warriors are more organized than those older teams just getting up shots.

Wait for the playoffs, the league still can't replicate GS motion offense, and of course they can't replicate Curry, GS is a playoff teams when fully healthy

The thing I respect about Golden State wasn't the three point shooting it was the ball movement, team defense. When they shot threes they were running plays not just chucking threes all game.

Rockets made it official they took more 3’s per game than any other team before the Warriors were known for it.

Alternating possession would help with #4.

Reduce the number of reg season games? Hell no...

Reduce the number of postseason games instead. You can't allow half the league in the postseason in basketball. Too top-heavy.

Yes to all of the above except number 3. I dont think 3 point line should be extended,it should be outright removed completely. Beeing able to score from a big distance,bypassing enemy deffense all together is powerfull enough as it is. With current skill levels in NBA,I am even willing to bet that if we remove 3 point line and remove any extra points for shooting from afar,players would still end up tacking more shots beyond the 3 point line than mid range shots, because they are just that good.

Hear me out,no fouls...maybe I'm ahead of my time.

There's also a personnel problem. If we eliminate the 3 point line but still have teams geared to shoot all their offense then it's still gonna be shooting dominate. The 3 point line was in the game for DECADES before we ever evolved to the point where people are shooting the majority of shots from behind the line.

It would end up eventually looking like this. We need to eliminate the corner 3 pointer and move it out to 28 feet. This makes the mid range game important. Watch the speed of the game in the seventies. People moved without the ball and real fast breaks. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7Jpp5yoy5PJpqM.htmlsi=ViTvFUU71pJZZDex

​@mopanda81 gotta start somewhere tho..personell will figure itself out with time. Big basketball fan all my life and it's a snooze fest to watch today.

Erasing the 3-point line would be a good start. Would the game still be shooting dominate? Yes, but not as much. It's a risk/reward thing. Shooting from nearly 1/2 court might not be as enticing for 2 points.

Find some old games from the 60s.

never happen. basketball rules are set globally. its basketball itself has been found out as a sport. it hasnt stood the test of time

Less games will mean smaller paychecks for players and we know how the players will react to that

They just have to push and push and push it.

million dollar cry babies

Agree, but the ref issue will never get fixed. Why would the NBA fix it anyways when those guys are the ones rigging the game for the league?

Less games=less injuries=happier world for everyone

Absolutely If they allowed more physical play I think it would solve this.

They really do okay different thought. Bucks, Warriors, Nuggets, Heat, Pacers, Magic, Clippers (still evolving) all have different ways of playing and are at the top of the league

The old timers were right. The 3 pointer killed basketball. It has to go away to eliminate incentives to take lower percentage shots. Just like homeruns ruining baseball. When that has become the primary scoring method, instead of a bonus, you're playing a different sport.

In my opinion there is a very elegant very simple solution to all modern basketball problems and it's not some major super innovative rule change ,quite the opposite ,it's just about going back, back to 70s basketball. Back to the time when there was no 3 point line. Back to the time when lifting the pivot was called travel. Back to the time when there was no defensive 3 second rule. Back to the time when you couldnt just play for cheap fouls as an attacker, bumping your self into stationary deffenders and than crying for foul(when according to OG basketball theory and rulles,it should be foul in favor of the deffence,not the offense, modern basketball has turned this rule litteraly 180 degress of where it should be) We dont need a 3 point line,beeing able to score from a distance,thus bypassing the need to get throught the enemy deffence ,is powerfull enough at it is(infact with the current level of skill in the NBA,I am certain even if we remove 3 point line today,there will still be plenty of shots taken from beyond 3 point line range,infact 3 point shots would still probably be more common than mid range shots). Not only would the above mentioned classic rules help to balance the game in every right way, making it more about team work, hustle, pacing and strategy ,rather than just spaming the same exact 2 possible plays 'allowed' in modern bball(basicly you either shoot 3 point or you dive and you play to get fouled and there is litteraly noting else),but on top of balancing the game it would also make the game simpler to learn, simpler to referee and it would diminish the gap between how casual and professional games are played(rules and balance wise). So when it comes to rules in basketball, just like many other things in life, less is actually better.

@@megaslayercho no absolutely not the three pointer is the only reason to shoot from deep. The math would be get as many 7 footers as you can if you remove the three and it would go bad the other way just allow defenders to be a little more physical and maybe instead of thee seconds make it 4-5.

Yes, was thinking same.

Absolutely agree, that's the first thing I'd bring back. See how that affects 3pointers when the defender can actually defend.

What about the 3-second rule in the paint is gone? I think that would already drastically improve the game. Hand-checking too. These athletes can be absolutely amazing defensively when they are 100% and have energy. Like in the playoffs. The FG% go down like crazy

But then LeBum would never score.

Bring back hand checking also.

The zero step rule doesn't even exist. In the actual NBA rulebook I mean. I know refs officiate the game with that silliness but it's not a rule and has never been a rule.

@@roboninja3194 the gather step (the same thing as the zero step) was formally added into the rulebook in 2019

Sure, the premium product of college bb. Like 90% of college hoops is an unwatchable affair if you aren't personally invested. Like your son is playing or you went to that college or that is like your town or something. For just a regular basketball watcher those are truly bad display of basketball.

​@@brkus2665agree

I just think allowing Defense more would solve it, while keeping many of the great attributes in the NBA, but I do vibe with that

Bring back hand checking. Give the defense some edge again.

You can’t move the line back further or you eliminate corner 3’s your feet would be out of bounds.

They also need to extend the 3 point line and push it beyond the corners. We can easily track the expected value of a shot depending on the distance it's taken from and a 3 pointer is wildly more valuable than a shot at the elbow, for example. Ideally shots from the elbow/free throw line and 3 pointers have the same expected value, so the entire court is used by the offense.

Noticed some of this in scotland v spain this past cup. The game was just dull on scotland side. Spain played them like a violin

Nba flops more than soccer now. At least soccer players are allowed to get physical. Can't even breathe on basketball players 😂

Teams today are not superior, and they would not "smash" the teams of 80s. It's the same thing as in NBA - the organisations made the defence waaaaaay harder with the rules. In the 80s all the way up to mid-90s, a sliding start, even from behind, was not called if the defensive player made contact with the ball first. Today, it's an auto yellow card. This is why it's important to put things in context when comparing Maradona and Messi. Messi and Portugese Ronaldo wouldn't last 20min with butchers like Goikoetxea in the back. Btw, this is the guy that held the shoe in which he broke Maradona's leg as a greatest souvenir of his career in his cabinet.

All I watch are highlights nowadays. I never watch full games anymore.

I'm a casual but I don't get defensive fouls. Sir I'm literally blocking you, WHY AM I GETTING FOULED FOR DEFENDING??

@Sandy-ti5xb yeah, how is preventing them from having a free lane wrong? With the power of shooting now, the restricted area and three second violation maybe should be removed

Man, that take is actually refreshing to hear.

That would probably lead to more injuries

Disagree, there's no other sport where you can concede a point even though the defence did everything right. There has to be a mistake made on the defenses part that is exploited. My problem with basketball has always been you can do everything right and still lose points all the time. But that's more about the sport in general

definitely not lol it boils down a lot to coaching.. you have to find ways within the rules to defeat that system.. no system is 100% full proof and has its flaws.. its up to coaches to find its weaknesses and figure out numerous ways to exploit said weaknesses.. that why weve seen a resurgence of the centre position and the last few MVPs were Centres.. post defence and defence at the rim is almost nonexistant now which actually make teams with elite centres going forward more valuable than lets say the star of most 3 and D sysytems.. another weakness in the 3 and D pick and roll system is the lack of defence in the mid range.. they admit it themselves when they say "we live and die if they take the midrange".. guys like Wade, Kobe and most of all Jordan wouldve torched this era because they shot these like lay ups which becomes a HUGE problem because at you dont want 3 pt shot or shots at the rim as 3 and D defence but what happens when those shots at the rim have almost the same percentage as shots at 17ft and you arent equipped to defend it.. also rotating the ball on offence significantly increases chances of scoring and is a major reason why team USA lost at the world cup.. teams just moved the ball way better than team usa who played 3 and d with a lot of iso n pick and roll.. this increase in scoring efficiency and likelyhood level out or in most cases trumps the benefits if the 3 and D system.. 3 and D isnt full proof in the slightest..

@@SauceKinggThat's kind of an odd / unique way to look at sports ... (I'm also not sure I agree ... you could run a NFL zone defense perfectly, and there might still be a crack where a receiver gets open. Now, you could say "oh the offense exploited the weakness of the coverage" ... but you could absolutely say that about NBA offenses, too.)

If you take soccer, it has been so called "perfected" a few times, other teams copied the trend and every time a counter emerged. Rinse, repeat.

Baseball already took steps to bring back certain elements that were lost or abused with sabermetrics. I don't think it's true NBA teams today all have the same personality. The Heat, Nuggets, Mavs, Magic all have very, very different play styles and identities just ot name a few.

@@gamble777888 Yeah, except it was kinda a band-aid on a bullet wound. The numbers don’t show much of a change. Stolen bases were way up, and that’s great, but batting average was almost identical and strikeout rates too. Walks and home runs were both up significantly, so the game still leans on the three true outcomes more than ever before. And besides all that, none of the rule changes that they made or can make will affect the root cause of the issue; batters now are all swinging for the fences and pitchers are all throwing 95 because the analytics show that it is the most effective way to play. And the worst part is that the analytics are right. That’s why this homogeny is likely here to stay. They’ve figured out the most efficient way to play the game and there’s not much room for deviation from those strategies.

@@aaronstark5060 That's why I prefer to watch soccer. The rules haven't changed much, and teams are successful based on the tactics and formations they use.

Sabermetrics tries to find the best way to win games under the rules of the game. Nothing wrong with sabermetrics. It is used to maximize winning by teams. The rules of the game need to adopt to incentivize the most entertaining product.

@@lethalfang Right, but the point is that it is so efficient that it has caused a homogenization of strategy and play style. Everyone plays the game the same because of it. Whether or not there’s anything wrong with that is a matter of opinion. In my opinion, there is.

It's been that sports Entertainment in the US nothing beats the dollar by any means

and no risk when losing because of closed league

Those systems we see in the Euroleague are just not efficient enough to use in the NBA, most of the times the end result is a semiopen to open midrange jumpshot, a lot of times not even by the best midrange shooter in the team, and in the NBA those are alredy considered a win for the defense, unless the guy pulling up is really, really good in the midrange. If the offensive scheme is not generating more than 1 point per possesion there is just no reason to use it at that level. That's why the center post up died for years in the NBA until there were a few players that could score over 1 point per possesion in those situations, like Jokic and Embiid, and even now it's still limited to the few players that can make it work at that efficiency. It's the same reason the midrange shot or the off the dribble 3 are usually something only a few players get to shoot, because for everyone else the shot is just not good enough, even if it's open. It's like in chess, at high level up to the international master level you see all the openings, but once you get to the best grand master players in clasical chess (not speed games when they are trying to surprise their oponents) most of the time they play the same few openings that are the best ones and specific sidelines within openings to attack their opponent's prep work, because playing something that is solid but not as efficient is just giving up too much of an advantage to their opponent.

​@@agomez7740 thank you for putting things into perspective. Needing teamwork to generate shots, in a game where you can simply score by pulling up on your defender, only signifies a lack in talent.

@@illDefine1 not really what I meant either. In the NBA they still need teamwork to generate good shots, such as layups and open catch and shoot 3s, it's just that a lot of the plays Euroleague teams run don't end up in those shots, they end up in the kind of shots that would be seen as bailout shots in the NBA, the kind that are usually reserved for the end of the possession and that almost all players can get by themselves.

@@agomez7740 I believe that is mostly due to the ability for nba players to generate their own shots when necessary ... which is truly the biggest gap between the 2 leagues.

They need to add a 4pt line

​@@straightlead8 no that would make the already existing problem worse and would fuck up the spacing even more

This. I can’t stand seeing an offensive player drive into a defender and get a foul. It’s some bs.

Get rid of the defensive 3 second rule, let hand checking happen, eliminate the corner 3, and bring the 3 point line back a couple feet. Make it a 2 pointer game where it is sometimes better to hit mid range jumpers than get banged on down low. Don't let the stars "load manage". Get rid of politics. The game will be 100X more watchable.

Make 3 point line worth only 1 point, and the paint worth 3. Then remove the 3 second defence rule

I wouldn't get rid of the 3 point line I'd just make defense more of a priority again by adjusting certain rules to allow that

THIS. Thats it. Theres not much more to it to honest. But it cannot last, short attention span means consuming so much faster that it will soon have diminishing returns. If everything is a highlight, all the time, after a certain point, nothing is.

Well when 20 of 30 teams now make the playoffs it means the regular season loses importance. The 1st season of the play-in the Hornets and Spurs got in with 33 wins. Yea that 1st season was shortened but still. The next season the Spurs got in with 34 wins and the Lakers missed out by 1 game with 33 wins. Last season was a bit better as everyone who got in had 40 wins. But that Spurs team in 2021-22 was 34-48. You shouldn't be in the playoffs when ya basically lose 50 games.

this might actually be it

Removing the corner 3s is probably the worst idea I have ever seen

@@filiperufino303 just throwing ideas man, but taking away the shot that has the most value alongside a layup and making it just a 2pt, would reduce the spacing and we wouldn’t see that much easy layups, I’ve seen way worse ideas than this one that i said, but okay it’s your opinion

This is something to consider.

Hear me out,let's make it real fun...no fouls...think about it,maybe I'm crazy.

See above. I totally agree.

Basketball games should average 200 points per game. Dropping 110 should be a great offensive game.

Give defense a chance would be a nice slogan lol. Thanks for the comment!

Agreed. I can't understand how anyone could find the Nuggets starters boring.

Yes make the court wider to get rid of that easy ass corner 3

Doesn't matter. Players have already future proofed any extension of the 3pt line into inefficacy because they already are capable of taking the shot from 6+ feet behind the line.

@@omarholder9036 No, the corner 3 is still today the highest percentage 3 pointer like it has always been because it's shorter and closer to the goal.

@@adamprice3466 I never said it wasn't. I'm just saying extending it is not likely to make much of a difference. Players already have range beyond that. They will adjust to the new distance pretty easily, and more importantly, widening the court makes closing out to the corner to actually affect a shot near impossible from the key. The last thing the game needs is more spacing, defenses already struggle to cover these pick and roll, drive and kick offenses

@@omarholder9036 They don't have range beyond that because the percentages drop. The corner 3 has always been significantly higher percentage. Yeh everybody is shooting from Curry range now but very few are making them at similar rates to Curry.

I think it’s opposite in the NBA a lot of teams and players don’t go all out some nights against teams with bad records the same way they would against a playoff team
