NBA - Main

Bros is 69 years old, let him hang on the rim, so on the way downs it's easy on his knees....stupid reefs

Not a fan of Lebron whatsoever but if he didn’t hang on to it he would’ve busted his ass. It’s a two handed dunk at full speed.. why is the NBA allowing this?

From a rules standpoint these techs are pretty clear... from a "fan watching the game hoping for at least a little flair from these athletes" this is bullshit. I want taunting, I want people hanging form the rim. The league is sooo afraid of being called "thugs" that they've watering the game down to blandness.

Letech

Why do they work so hard to eliminate all fun from the game.

I really don't get it.

Honestly, I hate how we're all talking about the rim hanging rule and not about how fucking amazing that pass was

He saw jt and wanted to test the waters lol

charmin soft

Why tf is this even a rule? Let the men have some fun

What a dumbass rule

Remember when the point of emphasis early in the season was supposed to be flopping?

This is so detrimental to the product and NBA are dumb as fuck for not addressing these refs.

Sure, if you hang and are demonstrative by pumping your dick two times in a guys face, tech.

But man, my casual friends think this is the dumbest shit in the world when a foul like this confuses the fuck out of them. It turns people away.

Kobe voice "Sawft"

joke league

More like “National BORING League” … amirite? … guys?

Super stars hanging on the rim on every dunk? Did we just figure out load management?

This season is the most technicals I've seen leBron get his whole career. It felt like he was immune to getting techniocals.

Glad to see the league is cracking down on the things that are REALLY ruining the game of basketball.

Here’s an idea: just don’t make hanging on the rim a tech at all, after a dunk. Let em do whatever they want nbd.

soft. you can't T up the king like that.

bunch of dorks

What a fucking dumbass rule

Looks like the refs are the ones who's gotten softer, not the players.

At least these dogshit refs are consistently dogshit.

THEY PLAYIN' B A S K E T B A L L

Lol

As a Cavs fan... this hurt so beautifully.

At this point hope someone gets injured because they let go too early and the league has to change this rule.

Lebron doesn’t understand. Basketball is NOT supposed to be fun!

These technical mistakes are stupid. The NBA needs to change this rule.

LeBron barks and fights foul calls all the time. Even he didn't say anything about this.

I wish they wouldn't call these, all the same. Had Dereck Lively been able to hang an extra second or two, he wouldn't have been missing games with that back contusion.

Nice thread pass!

What a fun basketball league

Holy fuck that is the softest lamest shit ever. Techs like this make me lose interest in basketball tbh. NBA becoming a massive pussy league

I’m 54% sure that this is an odee hang pull

I’m obviously biased with being upset with this rule in this case, but I think the rule in general is so fucking stupid and a lot of the calls have been on rim hangs when people are just adjusting before coming back down. As long as someone isn’t sitting there repping pull-ups on the rims, what the hell is the issue?

Isn't it more dangerous to not hang on the rim because of body momentum?

This rule is absolutely idiotic bullshit. Yeah guys might hang on and do the most if they’re hype af, but in every instance I’ve seen of it this season the guy is either making sure noone is under him simultaneously or waiting for his momentum to run out before letting go.

And they still fucking call it. Stupid as shit.

We need to start boycotting games…this is getting ridiculous my gosh

get a more durable rim then

Omg who fuckin' gives a shit. Just let them play

The refs: "We boomed him"

Wtf is wrong with these refs

Just what the fans wanted, more rim hanging technicals... great job NBA!

Shame of Leshow for showing emotions

No techs let them have fun

I mean it's obvious the new ref policy is don't bend your elbow and do any pull-up motion on the backswing. It's not that hard lol.
