The hanging on the rim tech is about as dumb as it gets (alien.top)

It’s an exclamation point on the most exciting play of the sport. You’re not directly taunting an opposing player all you’re doing is highlighting an exciting play you made. Just heard the Toyota Center get the loudest it has been all night while up 20 against the defending champs and a whistle takes the air out of the whole arena.

Guys it's for two different reasons. It's so the rims don't get bent out of shape which delays the game significantly as it gets corrected (no the NBA doesn't give a fuck about the cost of the actual rim). The second is safety of players, they don't want players hanging on the rim swinging their legs around potentially kicking other players in the face.
