I’m glad the refs are cracking down on hanging on rims and not carrying balls or foul baiting, etc.
Same! These players hanging on the rim are ruining the game! Ruining it!
kinda does mess up the game. the rims are made of normal material. They aren't invincible to bending or breaking. It's not just the showboating thing. You can f up the rim. Shaq famously shattered backboards without meaning to do so
I hate this logic. The NBA made $10.6 BILLION last year alone. Get stronger rims. After Shaq broke rims, they made them stronger. That was like 2 decades ago. I can almost guarantee they have a way to make the shit even stronger now.
This is also a business thing. People come to see vicious dunks and rim hanging among other things. Instead of calling more flopping fouls, they choose to bring down the whole crowd after one of the most hype moments of a game.
Made some of the most rewatched nba clips of all time, i still show my kids. Was epic.
